October 4, 20205 yr Good afternoon, On the day MSFS 2020 was released, and after I downloaded it, I downloaded (also from the Microsoft Store) the ORBX London City scenery after first flying in London and viewing the stock scenery. The ORBX addon worked well for me but, of course, I read the multitude of posts in the forums from unhappy people on how this ORBX download actually changed some of the buildings and the Tower Bridge to appear worse than what appeared in the MSFS 2020 stock London scenery. As far as I was concerned, the ORBX scenery was fine. This morning (Oct 5th) when I started up MSFS 2020 (which I hadn't flown for a few days) I saw that several updates were now available (the update for Japan, and ones for the ORBX London City Airport and for the London City Scenery), so.... I downloaded all three of them. I next took off from that airport and flew around London and saw that several things no longer showed up: the London Eye, the ORBX version of Buckingham Palace (instead the original stock scenery palace was there), and the original stock scenery Shard building was again showing up instead of the ORBX version. It appeared to me that this Marketplace update for ORBX London City had totally reverted back to the MSFS 2020 stock scenery. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT HAPPENED and what I can do to get the ORBX scenery back??? Can anyone help me with this .... please? Mike

I just went to that link and read all, and it seems that his problem is different than mine... and a bit more complicated. All I did was download the ORBX file within the Marketplace (which subsequently worked fine) and today downloaded the ORBX update, again within MSFS 2020. What that gent did, is delete his original ORBX download (since he didn't like it) and then he install the same sceneries that he got directly from ORBX (ORBX Central) not from within MSFX 2020.

October 4, 20205 yr Author Yay! I finally was able to solve today's ORBX update problem. While in the main page of MSFS 2020, I brought up the scrolled listing of all of the installed planes, airports, scenery, etc., that show the version #s and that they are "up to date." I located the ORBX London City addon in that listing (version 1.01 .. which was today's update) then clicked on it. A small tab opened up giving me the option to "Delete" it. (Keep in mind that in the Marketplace, I show it as being "Owned." (so I figure that deleting it here shouldn't be an issue). After deleting it, it now showed that it was "in the library." I then double clicked on that tab and it gave me the option to download it again (apparently from the library). I downloaded the file and it installed, but because it was the same version (1.01) I thought that when I flew from London City, that it may still cause the same error. To my surprise and joy, I found the correct ORBX scenery had installed this time (this update even corrected some of the issues that others didn't like in the original ORBX London City). My guess is that early this morning when I first clicked on the ORBX update tab, even though it appeared to download and install, it somehow got corrupted (thus the original MSFS London City scenery showed up instead). Fortunately, what I just did (above) allowed it to install properly. Hope this may help some others who may have the same issue. Mike
