This thread was posted first, so I guess the mods closed yours so there wouldn't be duplicates.

  

Nothing of the sort happening here.

 

I guess the second time did it...no problems except a gate misalignment.

Tell me please an interesting route to enjoy this update on Duke.

If you have the ORBX UK n,central, s, or London, then I think the answer is pretty much this: nowhere. Don't fly from Sumburg bespoke in any case.

London PG is......incredible

no other word for it

With ORBX London, that city already looked the best of any city anywhere in MSFS in my opinion. All the iconic structures, there's no place like London !

Wow!  That seems expensive. Is that due to your location in the USA?  I just signed up for BT Fibre 500, converting pounds to dollars it is bout half that much.

Here in Switzerland, I have a 10Gbps fibre connection, I get a solid 2200 - 2400Mbps via LAN cable to my desktop. Cost: 90CHF. Expensive, but fast as hell 😉 And yes, there are several servers providing those speeds, e.g. STEAM, where I can easily get up to 200 Mbyte/s or more relevant, Contrail App, where I download my sceneries etc. with up to 250 Mbyte/s. Even MSFS itself, if the day is good and downloads fast, I get ridiculous fast downloads. Like today, this huge update only took some minutes.

400 Mbps costs $69 a month in USA (Comcast/Infinity).

Wow I pay less than that for the same speed in the Caribbean.

The issue with Sumbergh that I complained about above was because I had ORBX Sumbergh installed. As soon as I deleted the Microsoft WU version of Sumbergh and only used the ORBX version, the issue went away. I also tried the MIcrosoft version by itself and ORBX uninstalled. That worked with no graphic issues too.

 

To choose versions:

Content Manager, type Sumburgh or EGPB in search window. CLICK THE 3 LINE ICON IN CONTENT MANAGER. It will list both versions. You should delete one of them.

Looks like Edinburgh got photogrammetry from the YouTube video here at 57 seconds, and via this image, but when I load into Edinburgh after the update there is no photogrammetry. Same for anyone else? I have reset rolling cache, disabled and re-enabled photogrammetry, disabled / re-enabled online features, rebooted sim etc 😞

Did you get and download the world update from the Marketplace? That's the first thing most people forget to do. 

I compare the new Asobo London (taking off from EGLC London City Airport in order to see the skyscrapers dead ahead):

Before WU but with ORBX London city pack compared to the new WU version of the same:

I prefer the old ORBX scenery, but not by a lot. The new London in the WU is almost as good. Both are better than the default London of yesterday by a mile!

I have been flying out of EGLC a lot this past 2 weeks.

Cardiff, Sumbaugh, London photogrammetry are all upgraded by the WU very nicely. The old ORBX is a little better but not by a lot.

Do you use default London City airport or ORBX? Curious about the two versions.

I use the ORBX London City Airport. Better for sure. Does not seem to interfere with the new WU.

I have now quit MSFS and will bootup with the ORBX London City Landmarks Pack which is a different addon than ORBX London City Airport. I already know that before the WU, the Orbx London Landmarks made for a better London than the new WU does.

What I don't know is whether Orbx London Landmarks will work with this WU or interferre and cause issues.

But for sure the ORBX London City Airport addon works in the WU and is better than the default airport.

 

EDIT Orbx Landmarks look great in this WU. Westminster abbey, bridge, the eye (large wheel ride and restaurant), etc.

I keep the UK2000 version of EGFF because payware is always better than the Microsoft Asobo bespoke airports. But the Asobo versions are nice too.

Did you at least take a look before hand?

Gaya made all these airports except Farnborough which was made by inibuilds

No, I did not.

Mightily impressed with WU 17 after my first brief flight across London following the Thames.  Albeit slow but low in the beaver. Scenery detail seems more crisp and virtually none of the morphing and pop up of scenery objects that has plagued my experience over that region in the past. Someone reported poor water masking. Not evident to me along the banks of the river.  London will now be a favourite play ground for a while I think and look forward to a fresh re-exploration of the UK.  A very happy chappie here.
