    Hi ya Kev, we didn't get it in the pineapple state, (or banana benders,) take your pick:) but I have sister in Melbourne, she said it shook her out of bed and ruined her sleep in. :blink:.

    Hi Don, yes I think that they were all very lucky, fingers crossed for the after shocks.

    I have a daughter, grandkids and great grandkids at Port Stephens and they are more 

    worried about this nasty virus that seems to have a mind of its own.

    Hi Kevin,

    Question: How exactly do you "empty the cache folder"? I have the store version of MSFS2020.

    Thanks

    Juergen

    Hi Juergen, sorry for the late reply (time zone) and I've been a bit busy.

    Light up the simulator and when it's finished doing it's thing click on options up

    the top then General Options. the next screen opens in the Graphics section.

    On the left side of the screen in blue there is a list of options, click on Data.

    Scroll down to the bottom of the data screen and you will find an option to

    delete your rolling cache file. It will rebuild itself without any problem.

    Do make sure that you disable Asobo LOWI in your content manager before you

    delete your cache. Look on the left side of the content manager screen and you 

    have an option to show scenery not installed tick that and it will be easy to see if

    it is inactive. If it is not there then it will still be active and you will have to scroll

    down on the right side of the screen until you find it. Then simply uninstall it.

    Sorry to be a bit long winded but it's the best I can do. Don't ya love these flight sims?

  3. Hi Juergen, when you install Orbx LOWI next go into your content manager

    and find the Asobo version of LOWI and uninstall it as it will conflict with the

    Orbx version. Other than that little suggestion I would also advise you to empty

    your cache folder as well. If that does not work there are another couple of things

    you can try, but let's not complicate things at this stage. Do not concern yourself

    about the uninstall of the Asobo version because you can just reverse the procedure

    with no issue if you need to. Do hope this helps.

  4. Nice shots, I still think that Orbx Sydney City Scape is there poster scenery.

    It sure beats all the City Landmark packs. More City Scape projects would

    be great as we know from the Sydney offering that such a high standard

    is achievable and without bringing a system to it's knees.

    My eyes are heading south as I age. The left one is functionally blind due to macular degeneration, and the right one is undermanagement for both MD and glaucoma. Makes it hard to read small print. The print size of the Forum is fixed. This may be too selfish a request to consider, but if we are limited to one print size, could we up it a couple of notches? Those of us with vision issues would benefit. Just a thought.

    Hi Rodger, if you are using a computer with Microsoft Edge, when you are on the Orbx web site click on the 

    3 dots in the top right corner of your screen and you have immediate access to + or - zoom which will set the

    print size to your comfort level. Then simply reverse the setting when you move on somewhere else.

    I can't remember where the Chrome settings are but I am sure you will work it out.

    It is pleasing to see that you are still enjoying MSFS and are working around any issues you may have.

  6. Since MSFS was introduced I have purchase 63 sceneries from Orbx.

    If I were to add up the cost of this I would more than likely have a 

    heart attack, which at my age I would surely not survive.

    Where I would be heading it would be  tad warm and I am

    pretty sure that flight simming is not an option.

    Therefore I will not worry about the cost and continue to enjoy

    my hobbie while I can. Geeze, Orbx have just released another one:banghead:

  7. It is always best to log in and you will see the exact price you will pay

    on the product page. Us Kiwis just love giving our government 15%

    tax on all our Orbx transactions so that our generous 20% discount

    that Orbx gives us sort of melts away.

    If Orbx didn't facilitate this for the NZ government they would have to

    go stand in the naughty corner. So it is what it is folks.

    I am trying to buy less Orbx products but it is just not working:unsure:

  8. Geeze Orbx team, you just don't give up do you! Here I am living on soup and toast so

    I can afford to continue buying into this hobby of ours and you up and produce product

    for MFS. Not being of Scottish heritage I have purchased the Premium Deluxe MFS.

    I now see that you even have the cheek to offer generous discounts to improve things

    even more! It has become clear to me that either the soup or toast has got to go :unsure:

     

    All the best Orbx team and stay safe.
