ricktana Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I have tried twice to update KORS v1.1.0 through Orbx Central with no success. After the first attempt of updating the scenery in the Community folder, I then uninstalled KORS and reinstalled it into my Orbx Library instead the Community folder where it was previously. Still the same result. The scenery shows none of the new additions. Orbx Central shows the new version being installed. Attached is a screenshot showing the airport at dawn with the night lighting still on. Notice, no new lighting on the helipad or the new REIL runway lights. Also attached is a text file showing version 1.1.0 being installed. I've checked for the other supposed scenery additions and they are not being updated either.

paulk Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That’s a shame it worked for me no problem. Do you get the notice that an update is due when you log into Central, normally a Red a circle with a number in, top right hand of page and the green dot next to your product name normally turns orange as the update is in progress. You could select Verify Files instead to see what happens that may force the update. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktana Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes, I got the notice that an update was due. I did the update and Orbx Central indicated that it was complete (Green dot). I even verified the file as you suggested. Still a mystery as to why it appears to update but no change to the scenery. Are you sure that the scenery changed on your install? (ex. Helipad should now be lit at night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi I owe you an apology sir, it would appear that my KORS Scenery has not updated. Your test of the helipad illuminated at night was the first proof. Secondly, when I looked in the Community Folder for KORS the files were all 2020. If Jon or Nick are monitoring may you be able to offer further assistance please. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktana Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Paul, thanks for the feedback. Now I know that it's not just my system being affected. Orbx, your help would be greatly appreciated! Rick S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I am unsure what lighting update there is supposed to be but I see no lighting at the helipad either: Maybe @Ed Correia can assist and comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This passed through testing so not sure what's the issue. Here's what I am seeing with a fresh installation. The helipad Flashing REIL Folder contents and structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks Ed. Resolved: You need to approach the helipad for the lights to switch on and become visible. You won't see them lit otherwise. For those of you not seeing the lit helipad then check that the Texture file is dated 2021. If not uninstall Orcs and reinstall.

Hi Paul, I think that's correct. I just verified files to make sure and they are all from 2020 though, as Jon pointed out, the folders are dated 2021. I see the update. Here are a couple of easy ways to check. The REIL lights The boats in the marina are now on water without boat and pier images on the orthophotography All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi Team Thanks for everyone responding so quickly. I will check tonight, but sure everything will be good as detailed above. On a personal note I have to say KORS is one of my favourites, how you guys managed to keep making it better and better is sensational. Would love to see a few of the Canadian Gulf Islands in the future? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi Just to confirm all good for me. @Ricktana, I hope all is now working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktana Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well, it seems that I am the odd man out. I still am unable to see the updated scenery. My file structure looks the same as described above and Orbx Central shows that the update is installed. I have tried two more additional uninstalls and reinstalls with no luck. I will continue to experiment with possible other reasons this scenery won't update. Shown are some files and screenshots of what I am seeing after the recent reinstalls.

ricktana Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 I just tried a fresh reinstall into a clean (no other files) Community folder and KORS updated correctly. I'm not sure why it won't update properly in my other Community folder. All of my Orbx scenery is installed into my Orbx Library on another drive with shortcuts in the Community Folder pointing to that drive. All of my other files in the Community folder are also linked to that same other drive using "MSFS Addons Linker." I don't see how that could be causing the problem, but I'll keep troubleshooting and let you know what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktana Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 OK. Color this one Green and Answered. Although I'm not sure how or why??? I copied the working KORS scenery folder that I installed in my last post and pasted it into my old Community folder and the scenery worked! So I uninstalled it and let Orbx Central reinstall it into my old Community folder and it worked! So then I uninstalled it again and let Orbx Central install it into my Orbx Library drive and now it works ok. Go figure! NEVER LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH!

Chris E Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If you bought this Scenery in MSFS 2020 Marketplace it still shows Version 1.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hi Chris I am no expert on this but I believe MSFS Marketplace can take several days/weeks prior to updating 3rd Party add-ons. Someone in the Orbx Team will know better than I, but I’m sure they will have sent the update to Microsoft and are awaiting them to carry out the file update in marketplace. I prefer to buy via OrbxCentral as the updates are instant. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
