June 16, 20214 yr Time to check through the community folder for installed scenery which may bork it. I'm worried about Iceland Overhaul which I've really enjoyed. Edited June 16, 20214 yr by jarmstro

June 16, 20214 yr They didn't do a Beta test for this update (other than the addon developers that get early access). The one they mentioned 2 weeks ago hasn't started yet, I assume it's for the next Sim Update. I don't believe I have any addons that touch the Nordics, other than WeLoveVFR and a freeware Helsinki airport. Edited June 16, 20214 yr by Tuskin38

I'm almost sure the developer will modify the scenery as soon as the update drops. I expect we might get a higher-quality mesh for Iceland and updated satellite imagery, as well as a few buildings here and there with WU5.
June 16, 20214 yr Are you sure this will be tomorrow? The development roadmap https://www.flightsimulator.com/development-roadmap/ states under June 24th: 06/TBA. Usually it dropped the Tuesday before the named Thursday, that would be on 22nd. There may have been some announce which I missed, of course.

June 16, 20214 yr How do you guys handle the community folder mods when updating, do you have to reinstall everything, everytime there is update?  Intel I7 12700KF / 32 GB Ram-3600mhz / Windows 11 - 64 bit / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060TI / 32" Acer Monitor, Honeycomb alpha/bravo, CH rudder pedals, Tobii 5, Buttkicker, Logitech radio panel.Â

I have no addons installed in the Community folder. I have all my addons installed in a separate folder and use MSFS AddonsLinker to create symbolic links in the Communityfolder. Before an update of MSFS I just click a button in MSFS AddonsLinker to remove all symbolic links. It's a very fast process. Edited June 16, 20214 yr by PuffeB

June 16, 20214 yr I use @Bad_T’s Addon Manager… one click and I have an empty community folder. Then another click and my preset(s) are back. Works for me. C Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
June 16, 20214 yr Author I leave everything in the community, i didn`t cleaned it for all the past updates and never had a big problem.. If something from the planemods do not work they normally just not loading and have to be updated from the Developer - you can nothing do about that just to hope not to mutch gets broken 🤔  But our planemodders are allways fast in update there stuff after a MSFS update which causes problems so i'm not too worried about that.  cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online :  ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage  HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.
June 16, 20214 yr My routine before updating is to clear out anything in my community folder that may conflict. In this case Iceland Overhaul and any airports/scenery included in the update. Then update. The delete and rebuild the rolling cache before loading a flight. Edited June 16, 20214 yr by jarmstro
