I too have been on the fence because of that very reason. Beginning of this year I decided to replace my GEX in P3D with ORBX. Since then I have downloaded a lot of their scenery and I must admit....; I am a fan now. I don't feel hindered in any way because of ORBX Central as I initially feared.

Since PMDG stated they were 'all in' regarding MSFS, I started using that sim and adding ORBX stuff too.

I was also on the fence with their Central - yet another app. I had it with P3D on my previous install but had held off with MSFS.

But for Iceland Mesh I am off the fence and have downloaded it.... seems to work well and I see the value in an app like this managing add on's. I went ahead and purchased Cape Town City Pack while I was about it. Will probably use Orbx more now. Offering a few freebies will play in their favour, as has been the case with me...

OrbX central isn't so bad with MSFS, because all it really does is manage the downloads and put the stuff in your community folder (or even just links to the real files your can store elsewhere) and whenever you start it up it checks for updates.

When MSFS released, I was planning on mostly using the marketplace, but as it stands currently, updates for addons still take a while to arrive in the marketplace versions.

Perfect, I have plans to take a trip to Iceland with my TBM, so this update comes at the right time 👍

i took a look at their site and saw they do have some other freebies for msfs, so i guess i will do the central stuff again lol

Is there any conflict between Orbx Iceland mesh and the recent Nordics MSFS update?

Thanks
