FSDT Vancouver V2 imminent...

As of today, when you buy a scenery from the MS Marketplace, it's .BGL files are encrypted using the Marketplace DRM.

This means, if you have some 3rd party utility that needs to read the airport file for any reason, for example a Flight Planner that might need to read the parking or the navaids from the airport, will be unable to do so, since the airport file ( what used to be called "AFCAD" in FSX ) cannot be read.

This is of course the current situation. Nobody knows if the MS DRM will improve at some point, either allowing developers to tell Microsoft not to encrypt some files, or allowing access to the airport data even if it's encrypted, for example using an updated Simconnect.

Ahh, thanks! That's exactly the answer I wanted!  Alright, thank you very much!

As the OP suggests is not really imminent. It's already available at FSDT website and at SimMarket. No need to wait to have it available through the MS Marketplace (which I personally tend to dislike).

Cheers, Ed

Thanks Ed, I can't figure out how to change the post title I'm too dense so added some tags 🙂

No prob Paul. I'm fortunate is available at SimMarket. Don't like at all that MS Marketplace, maybe personal taste.

Vancouver has good photogrammetry for downtown Vancouver.  Unfortunately, once you leave downtown Vancouver, there isn't much photogrammetry.  In fact, photogrammetry is missing for much of metro Vancovuer.  It's not just Vancouver though. Other Canadian cities are missing photogrammetry for areas outside of downtown (ie. Edmonton, Calgary, etc).  Compare metro Vancouver to say, metro Seattle.  Seattle is the next closest major city to Vancouver but lucky for Seattle flyers, metro Seattle has awesome photogrammetry that covers much of the metro Seattle area.

I'm hoping that Asobo will do an update for Canada soon, especially for Canadian cities with poor photogrammetry cover.

It's good enough for me.

Well, since I lived in Vancouver, I am hoping for even more photogrammetry for the metro Vancouver area 😉

At that extremely competitive price for previous users, this is a no-brainer and will be my very first addon purchase for MSFS. Well done, Umberto.

The product has been sent to Microsoft for approval, so it will should be available on the MS Marketplace soon.

Going to cross my fingers and hope it shows up in the MS marketplace in the next 2 weeks!

Hi Umberto,

For whatever reason I can't use Paypal from your website.
When confirming payment it says "your basket is empty".

 

PLEASE DISREGARD, PROBLEM SOLVED!
