    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

World Update XVII: United Kingdom and Ireland has been released.

Kenneth, I have a very straight MSFS install, with no addon sceneries in the immediate vicinity, and all of the world and city updates, and I noticed too that there is a small area immediately south of Edinburgh Castle, between the castle hill and George Heriot's School, which is not displaying properly - mostly flattened.

Ah, so it is not just me. Thanks for the feedback. - Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Give this one a try: clear your photogrammetry, delete your rolling cache and let it rebuild, close the sim and fire it up again.

Cheers,

Jan
 
All new install (two days ago), fully updated, and it looks the same here. It's an issue with the scenery on Microsoft's end. It will have something to do with the custom-made hill/castle scenery object, with the exclude added to the photogrammetry model extending where it shouldn't be. Everything else looks excellent.



I noticed a number of the files in that small update yesterday for World Update XVII were for Farnborough Airport, which I saw a number of folks were not happy with on the initial release version.

Really, Micro$oft needs to get their sh*t together.

The porblems that Javis is having, this issue... Doesn't look good as an announcement for MSFS2024...

Sorry if I am duplicating another post but has anyone done a comparison with the ORBX Central, North & South Regional UK packages. I have those installed but not sure if they will corrupt the MSFS update or whether the two are complimentary or whether I should uninstall the ORBX stuff and go with solely the new default UK.
 
This great little addon removes the hand-made Edinburgh castle and restores it to the original photogrammetry version of the castle, while in doing so also correcting the exclude issue that was discussed a few posts previously. It's a wonderful improvement, with the photogrammetry castle looking better and with more detail than the hand-crafted example. https://flightsim.to/file/79189/edinburgh-castle-photogrammetry

I'm running Orbx Central, it seems to run fine although Liverpool has been my only proper comparison so far. It replaces certain buildings and they compliment well. The Liverpool dock buildings look better from Orbx, the default ones look a little rough.
