That's one very nice looking scenery library:)
Just bear in mind that Orbx does change a lot of airport elevations, so you will have some trouble. Where possible, I'd uninstall anything with a dual installer, or a FTX patch, then reinstall after you've got Orbx up and running. Some scenery addons have patches which you could run on the existing install, but it might be easier to start over.
After you've installed Orbx, use FTX Central to lower the Orbx scenery down the list -- you want it below any addon airports. You should just have to do this once. Shifting it yourself in the scenery library doesn't work too well, as it will reset every time you use FTX Central.
You don't need to deactivate VLC, Orbx does a good job of squashing other scenery, which can be a good and bad thing. Mainly bad.
The Subscription scenery can be a pain, I purposefully left out an uninstaller, in favour of a yet-to-be-written config tool. The config tool will eventually let you turn features on and off, but it will be released at the end of the subscription period. So to manually uninstall, you'd:
a) remove them from the Scenery Library;
b) delete the subfolders in the Godzone folder;
c) search Scenery\World\Scenery for any stubs related to the Godzone scenery -- these normally have 'GVF' or 'GZ' in the filename -- and disable or delete them.
One issue is that most of the Godzone scenery is either/or -- the installer decides which base scenery you have, but once that's done, it's tricky to change without uninstalling, tidying up and reinstalling.
