The initial recommendation was to delete them in Content Manager, which works..

But if you use the Addons Linker, you can move them to a new folder and enable/disable them as required.

In the Official folder you will find the Onestore folder.  Add a new folder to the Official folder, called PG Cities.

Drag all the fs-base-coverage-map-xxxxxx-tin folders from the Onestore folder to the PG Cities folder.

In the Addons linker, add the new PG Cities folder.   Tools / Options / My addons folders / Add... OK, OK.

Now you can enable individual World Update PG Cities addons at will.  🙂

The base level PG cities are still there, and can be turned off in the sim by turning off Photogrammetry, if required..

Can we delete specifics cities ? Or do they all get deleted as one big file. ?

Thanks Bert, great advice. I guess this could potentially apply to other stuff in the OneStore folder? Say I want to be able to control my addons that I got from the Marketplace. I put them in a new folder under Official, and follow your procedure to manage them via Addons linker?

EDIT: I might have misunderstood, but doing it like this, the PG folders end up in the community folder when they're enabled in AL.

The files are one per WU country.. no way of splitting it further, that I know of..

I have moved the Canada POI folder, and it works also..

Any reason why you placed the PG cites folder in the Official folder? Since it's going to be placed in the community folder - couldn't it be placed potentially anywhere?

As long as MSFS allows you to move the files there.. yes.

Excellent. It gets easier to manage the Marketplace stuff then. I haven't got a lot from there, but still. 

Just noticed that there's no PG folder from the first US WU. 

for info, there is an option in AL (that very few people know about) that lets you create the links in the official folder for official addons. That's probably better than having the link created in the community folder because they get placed in their original location.

The were some explanations on the link below with an example on how to set up and a pic on top of page 28 showing an example

As always there are some limitations in moving official addons for some users (permission issue sometimes) and also if you removed it and it's not linked the sim might ask you to redownload them because it doesn't see them anymore (which is normal if not linked). Always use maximum cuation unless you are a mega specialist like Bert 😜!

Just an info because maybe you don't know about that option, if all work for you without using that option, no need to change anything 🍻

So what is your opinion of the WU for your country Bert ? .

There is a long thread on that very topic.. 😉

Thanks! I was looking for this. Although creating the link in the community folder seems to work - I tested with WU11 PG (Montreal) and a payware airport for Taipei that I got through the Marketplace.

yep thanks for the info, my main concern is maybe if one day there is an update for that addon in the marketplace. If it's linked to the official folder (with link active) the marketplace will recognize it and probably install the update correctly, if it's linked in the community folder it will not see it and it will redownload it in the official folder (and then you would need to move it again to have the latest version in your 'custom folder'). Not sure if it's very clear, probably not that important for users that have a good knowledge of how these things work 🥂
