I have followed this issue closely, in this and other forums, and have yet to see any actual evidence that an add-on placed in Community has adversely affected the working of MSFS in any way. Can you cite even one documented case where this has happened? The experience of myself and many other simmers has been that removing files from Community makes no difference, and authoritative sources who are very familiar with ASOBO's programming have affirmed this in numerous posts here and elsewhere. As another poster said above, urban myths are hard to dislodge.

Here's what I found after a quick search on MSFS support forum:

Most annoying is, that you have to make a decision to use the OBS function with the stock G1000 or to have no OBS function with the otherwise far better WT G1000. So I resorted to the GTN750 whenever possible.

 

Another example here:

In this case, the problem is not the WT1000 package but the G3X package instead.


Another example here:

After the 1.15.7.0  sim update, the default C172 malfunctioned with the mod installed. Reply from the mod developer:

We posted a new release which addresses this about 12 hours ago. Please update to the latest release 0.3.5.

Exactly as I've said: after a simulator update, the add-on prevented a default airplane (and all default and 3rd party airplanes using that set of gauges ) to work properly, and it required an updated version from the mod developer to support the update.

However, I see some people say that the tree lod addon fix isnt working. For me it has been working great since its release and is still working fine to this day. I can see trees pretty much to the horizon no matter where I fly. And I fly in the nordics a lot.

That would be an amazing find if it’s still working for you, as it’s one of the most lamented changes in the sim for a lot of people.

Would you mind sharing a picture of your current tree range in a Nordic?

Sure. Im currently on my way from Iceland to Greenland, so no much forests along the route 🙂  But I will share a SS when I'm done later today.

Anyone recall what time the World Updates drop in the UK? Is it around 5pm?

Usually 4pm.

My FDST CYVR is broken since the last update. It won't load anymore

same with the AS CRJ, hope to get a new launcher tomorrow which will address the de/encryptions issues MS alledgedly introduced with SU4 and causes CTDs as soon as the CRJ marketplace download is somewhere near my MSFS installation folder

I just checked Sweden and thats the same as the Netherlands, 8 km or 5 miles.

As far as I can see, none of these examples, including the ones you cited earlier, demonstrate that the problem is caused by files stored in the Community folder. There are add-ons that involve changes to MSFS aircraft or other files and do not use Community, and it is entirely possible that updates could cause conflicts with those. But this has nothing to do with Community.

Umberto, excuse me for changing topics to one of far more importance to me....how's GSX coming along for MSFS?  Really looking forward to what you can do there!

Not sure why you and the other guy are arguing, but lets make it clear: You are NOT providing evidence that files in the community folder can break the update process. Files in the community folder do not influence which files are copied to the Official folder during the update process. Every problem occuring can be fixed by deleting the content of the community folder AFTER the update. Files in the community folder can be incompatible with the updated version of MSFS. Nobody claimed otherwise.

Exactly this. ^

Anyway, I am really looking forward to the update today as I love flying around the Scandinavian countries, and this will only improve the experience.

I am also looking forward to seeing if there are a few sim updates / improvements in there. 
They have been known to squeeze a few in with the world updates in the past.

The community seems strangely underwhelmed about World Update V? Both here and on flightsimulator.com. Odd.

Maybe that's because it isn't released yet? I for one am really looking forward to it 😉 

Edit: Or is it? 🤔

I am looking forward to it, that's one 🙂 I don't fly in Japan much, but I am glad it got a World Update so when I do!
