Jack Sawyer Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I would love to see an official announcement when there’s an update to a P3D or XP product. The only way I know is if I run Central and then look at both sims. For example, I just happened to run Central today and saw there was an update for P3D’s Base. I might have gone a long time without knowing this, so I humbly ask that there could possibly be an announcement when there’s updates. Thanks for your consideration Orbx team. If it’s not feasible I’ll understand.
Nick Cooper Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Hello Jack, I think that the previous practice of posting in the Release Announcements forum will continue, at least I hope that it will. The recent bout of unheralded updates have in the main been compatibility updates to suit Orbx Central, rather than updates that add anything new. Those that do add new things are still being announced.

flya150 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Maybe have Central show a orange dot next to the group the scenery is in. Example.. Global Range, Europe, North America, Oceania. Then you know there's an update in that group. Scott

We actually had this included in our internal builds of Orbx Central but it hasn't yet passed review to be included in a new version. 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: We’d still have to open Central.

We look into putting a badge on the Orbx Central icon to indicate an update. 8 hours ago, Nick Cooper said: I think that the previous practice of posting in the Release Announcements forum will continue, at least I hope that it will.

To address Global Base specifically, the 1.4.3 update was to fix a layering issue in Orbx Central that could cause texture morphing for some users.

Thanks Mitchell! I wonder if this'll fix Hilo.
