answered World Update 7

[stelch]

When we install the WU7 next week must we unistall the Sidney scenery and Sidney airport that we bought from Orbx?

The Orbx Team normally advise what to do after the release, (don't think they have prior information like us as to how well it will all work together) short term we may have to but the team normally manage to get the WU updates working with their scenery after a few days/weeks. Certainly been the case with the other WU updates.

I also suggest that prior ot the update you rename your Community folder to Community.x so that it preserves all your existing addons negating the need to reinstall all the addons you have.

Except in the recent Asobo Q&A they stated Orbx was directly involved in some aspects of WU 7 like the POI's so I think Orbx already knows how the MSFS World update of Australia interacts with all their scenery.

I've just updated MSFS WU7 and there's some duplication of bridges with the photogrammetry and Sydney Cityscape are we meant to uninstall the latter until there's an update, I would of thought that Orbx would have an update ready to drop, seeing as Jorg mentioned on the DEv Q&A, how closely Orbx have been working with the MSFS devs on the Australia update?

yeah kind of a bummer, to be left in the dark like this, and at the same time seeing them selling the city packs on promotion via orbxdirect

[Aaron Myers]

And are the City packs rendered irrelevant with the new update, or do the packs provide more than what's included?

[paulk]

If previous WU updates are anything to go by I am sure Orbx will advise and update any of their scenery that isn’t fully compatible. To be fair the update has only been out for 2 hrs

I didn't fly yet after the update, but it's always advisible to delete Scenery Indexes and contents.xml. The easiest way to do so is via the Addon Linker.

 

Kind regards, Michael

To be fair, it's not like the content of this update will come as a surprise to Orbx. It would have been nice if they'd had a post ready for release on compatibility of their existing AU add-ons...

Hop in your plane and check it out! I did! They are all good.

Thanks, Ed!

 

Despite the warning to remove the Cityscapes, a quick flight around Sydney with the Cityscape active and the AU update installed still looked great.
