I was hoping you of all people would have helped me out  of what i thought was a very obvious subject matter by explaining to the person who asked initially what screenshots would be expected but since people posting changes to particle effect files and changelog notes on updated watermasks and elevation data was not enough of a hint in an update thread ...

Ill check the differences when i get home.  But thanks anyway

And apparently the cowbell refence must have gone over a few peoples heads .. ill own that one.. 

You keep right on with the Cow Bell reference!

Parking and taxi ways.

The only airport I noticed any major differences at was Default Oslo, ENGM. Before the world update there was just a terminal building building going straight through a couple taxiways. it’s gone now.

ORBX touches up terminals, parking and taxiways for various airports with every world update.

These aren’t overhauls, just touch ups.

Hello everyone!

Some of you may have received a small update yesterday!

This is due to Aviator’s liveries now included in the install. Before, you needed to go to the content manager and download/update them.

The small download was for users not up to date regarding the Aviator’s liveries.

This has no impact on performances!

Future updates of the Aviator’s livery packs should be done at the same time as major updates!

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this clarifies everything.

I guess those effects files were an undocumented preparation for a future patch.

Hello everyone!

Please go to your content manager and delete these items if you don’t want Aviator’s liveries.
Next updates should not trigger a new DL of these liveries.

Hi,

Right after the update I've noticed a surprised increment of performance.

From about 30 fps to 50 fps!

That's funny!

 

 

I can't believe that there are people who didn't get the "more cowbell" reference. You can't drive a Tesla and not know about it either.

Or an accidental inclusion.
