RogueMissile Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I bought the London Scenary add-on pack through the ingame marketplace however I would like to get it on the Orbx Central app that I discovered after. Is there a way to get it there instead without repurchasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoothchat Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) I hope that Orbx gives this some serious consideration. If they want the benefit of a captured market via the marketplace, they will still have to support all their userbase regardless of where they purchased. At the very least, it's in Orbx's interest to provide this feature to their loyal users in order to maintain their reputation.

Nick Cooper Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hello, Orbx will indeed continue to support its products and its customers but Orbx cannot support problems encountered with the Marketplace delivery medium, not least because Orbx has no control over it. Product support does not include moving product licences around between accounts with different companies, unless there is a system in place that allows that and at present, there is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothchat Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks Nick. I think at the very least, the marketplace should provide a clear avenue for customer support. I am not aware of any formal way to seek direct support from them. It's not fair that Orbx has to bear the brunt of these enquiries about something which is beyond their control.

So, is my understanding correct that in order to avoid any issues the recommendation is to purchase everything through Orbx? Would definitely prefer to go that route.

Nick Cooper Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 There is no recommendation. The customer must make their own choice. As with any choice, it is good to be in possession of all the facts first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Wolf68 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi, 1 bought the KORS scenery for FS 2020 on the Orbx website. But I have no clue what to do that it is shown/used/installed in the FS even though it recognizes that I own the scenery. Is there any manual/installation instruction how to do this? Where can I find it? Thx for your support. Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hello, please download and install Orbx Central from any of the "Get Central" links on Orbx Direct. Open Orbx Central and it should recognise your MSFS installation. You can then install your product. Here is the Orbx Central User Guide. https://Orbx.to/central-guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely prefer to go that route. MSFT gets a cut of the proceeds when you buy it through the MSFS Marketplace. Orbx gets all the proceeds when you buy it directly from them, and you get the added bonus of installation support and the ability to use Orbx Central to manage things like updates. I think you'll understand why Orbx can't take a position regarding this given that they have signed agreements with MSFT to be in the Marketplace, but I can wholeheartedly recommend buying directly from Orbx.

Capt. Wolf68 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Hello, I installed it already before. MSFS recognizes it as installed but still when I start from KORS in the game the default airport is shown - not the Orbx scenery. Btw, your central-guide doesn't specifiy how to install a scenery in MSFS 2020 but only for previous version or for other sims. This is where I installed it: E:\Orbx Librabry\msfs\KORS Orcas Island Airport MSFS is installed on a separate SSd, same SSD the Orbx folder is located. Do I have to save the Orbx scenery into a different folder? Edited August 27, 2020 by Capt. Wolf68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hello, MSFS is showing it as not installed but available for purchase. You should see a shortcut to it in the Community folder in your MSFS core files folder, named "Orbx-airport-kors-orcas-island". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Realist4U Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi. I'm brand new to MSFS and I purchased Sydney Cityscape last week on Market Place (before seeing this thread). Can I can get a refund on Market Place and repurchase? I'm using "MSFS Addons Linker" to manage everything. From this thread, it sounds like there's no way to move Sydney out of Market Place and into Orbx Central. But, is there a way to move Sydney into my Addons Linker folder? Thanks for any help you can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
