NZ Scenery available on Xbox - Marketplace

Postby mavman » Sun Nov 14, 2021 5:33 pm

Some MSFS NZ scenery available at last via Marketplace for Xbox users. Along with the ORBX mesh there is now NZA's excellent NZNS scenery and iniScene's NZQN.

Hopefully more to come! :clap:

Yes, downloaded them both for my XBOX. The level of detail is incredible.

Be cool to see comparative PC/XBOX screens.
What are the differences if any between the platforms?

I'm keen to hear that too. I hadn't been following the Xbox version so was unaware of how add-ons/DLC were being addresses.

I’ve struck an issue with the iniScene NZQN which I purchased through Marketplace where the Asobo default NZQN is still visible, therefore there are issues such as duplicate tarmac markings, 2 control towers visible, cars sticking out of buildings to name a few. To iniScenes credit they have been helpful with support however apparently some XBOX users are finding the same issue. The new scenery isn’t superseding the default and the Asobo scenery isn’t able to be removed on XBOX.

Hoping that another sim update rectifies this issue however until then I’m putting up with:

Wondering if anyone else is/was experiencing this?

Did you ever get this fixed?

Yes I did, it somehow ‘fixed’ itself without intervention. I created a flight a ex NZQN a few days later and it magically appeared correctly.

However….since the SU9 update a few days ago my terrain around NZ is corrupt, especially around the Southern Lakes and Milford Sound. In fact, Milford is unusable at this time and I have no idea why?? I deactivated the ORBX mesh and rebooted the console however the issue remained so it can’t be that?? Anyway, frustrating!

I've heard about these issues. I don't have any myself, at least that I've noticed

I have noticed the issue with the ORBX mesh since SU9 and it is occurring right around NZ but to greater or lesser degree at each location depending on the topography. Slightly noticeable in Wellington especially around the eastern harbour with quite steep transition from sea to land. NZQN is particularly bad and NZMF is unusable as mentioned above. I notified Orbx and they replied that they were aware and working on a fix. FYI it also happens in other parts of the world with mesh installed.

I guess I just hadn't noticed it before because I flew into Wellington just now and yeah that's really a mess. Terrain spikes in Newlands, big cliffs east of the airport and and big lump by the fire station. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

The default mesh seems to be ok, but obviously the terrain isn't as well defined as it was with the ORBX mesh installed. Here's hoping a resolution is found between ORBX and Asobo quickly!

I understand a mesh update is now available, though it doesn't fix all places and more is to come.

Yes there seems to be a bump in the runway at NZQN (with the payware NZQN) and weird cliff objects in Milford Sound
