I'm a weirdo like him too lol.  I rarely fly outside of the USA.  I think it's primarily because I don't have charts for the rest of the world and I like to navigate realistically.

Navigraph Online Charts service for the world is really a nice addition to flightsims.

Makes me wanna buy sceneries outside europe as well

Wrong observation. Both autogen def's can be merged into one xml without problems...

There certainly has been a compatibility issue between ORBX regional and France VFR regional sceneries. I have personally experienced this incompatibility when running FTX England and France VFR Nord-Pas-de-Calais at the same time (flying from England to France). And around this same time ORBX and France VFR discussed ways to resolve the problem, but they were not able to agree. This was discussed in some detail on a number of flight sim forums a few years ago, including France VFR's. Air Daily X mentioned the compatibility issues recently when it announced France VFR's PACA product:

Perhaps the issue has been solved recently and not generally announced?

Another shortcoming with previous France VFR sceneries is that they did not have seasonal variation.

It's not that I am against France VFR products; I think they are very good and would like to continue to use them.  But I have so many ORBX sceneries installed that I would not be able to live with the autogen issue.

Did you guys uninstall your legacy payware LOWI airport or did you simply deactivate the appropriate entry in the scenery list?
Which is the recommended procedure? I guess this is explained in the instructions PDF, but I am still downloading.
