answered Frankfurt City compatibility

[farman]

Hi,

  after installing the last MSFS VI update I deactivated Orbx Frankfurt city pack; must we wait for an update - as for Paris -, since this city is one of the improved spots with photogrammetry?

   Thanks & regards,

        Fulvio

Hi all,

 

we are working on an update for Landmarks Frankfurt to be released soon. While many of the custom buildings are now directly integrated into the photogrammetry version of Frankfurt delivered with World Update 6, there are many more features specific to Landmarks Frankfurt that we want our current customers to retain and enjoy. Those include custom trains and boats, improvements to vegetation and night lighting, as well as a few POIs outside of the city.

 

In the meantime, please remove Landmarks Frankfurt from your Community folder as the current version is not compatible.

 

Cheers, Holger

Hi Holger, just done it as soon as I installed the VI update; sorry for asking, and Paris is compatible now?

Hi. Does this mean that WU6 is using the exact same Orbx building assets as the Frankfurt City Pack?

I don't know, but I can tell you that 198 points of interest were made by Gaya and Orbx for the WU6, according the MSFT.

Fulvio, the update for Paris -- compatibility with World Update IV -- has been on Orbx Central since May 14th and on the MS Marketplace since May 21st. Or do you mean something else?

For the most part, yes. There are several models that aren't ours, but all of ours have been optimized with LODs for better performance. As mentioned though, there are additional custom models and enhancements included with the original Frankfurt Landmarks that will be made available in our update, which entered testing today.

No, no, Orbx Paris; thanks for the update; of course I missed it!
