Does this mean that the PMDG aircraft won't work until updated by developer?

thanks

Usually PMDG aircraft don't need updates, so their aircraft should work!

And folks, while you're heading over to https://www.prepar3d.com to download v4.5, be aware of this phishing site, and double-check the url before entering login/password info:

Edit:  L-M says this was a bad redirect and has been fixed.

Can anyone remind me if there are any addons that dont like Content updates? I think one has to re-run FTX Central for ORBX stuff, but apart from that...?

It's the Scenery update that forces you to re install FTX Global. The Content update is save to do without any re-installs.

Active Sky always needs a compatibility patch. They are usually pretty fast bringing that out, however.

It is already out.

Well Content sometimes affected the GSX UI so GSX might need to run Live Update just to be safe.

IIRC, if running ORBX sceneries, you need to run FTXCentral once after a content update so that the configs are all properly augmented/updated.

What about this line in the Scenery update: 

  • Added more building scenery objects.

If using ORBX FTX Global, will we see an improvement if we install the Scenery update?

Yeah, also a bit confused. Nowhere do they mention 4.5 at all. However, they do say "P3D compatibility update". So it might be a way of making it 4.5 compatible a few days in advance, without mentioning that 4.5 is releasing and breaking the NDA.
