Xbox Marketplace Products

Post by Ant1975uk » Sat Oct 09, 2021 1:28 pm

Hello,

Just been checking out the newly available products that were released this week. Rhodes and St Lucia and Cusco.

However the descriptions on these products are very minimal and they don't tell you what you get in the package. The Rhodes description on your website says you get full island coverage and two sports plus optional static planes, on the xbox it doesn't say anything about these.

Are these products the same? Can anyone confirm if they are? The price is nearly £22 so i assume theres more than an airport in this package.

Thanks for all your help!

Ant

The content of the MSFS / X Box sceneries is identical with the versions in our web shop.
Rhodes indeed includes the whole island with both airports, lots of custom vegetation and autogen, landmarks, static aircraft and a lot more.

Thanks Thorsten for the clarification. I'll look to pick it up as I was impressed with your Peruvian airport.

I think the marketplace description needs updating because you may lose out with customers not knowing what is available to them.

Thanks again!

So I picked up the pack, very happy with it. However some of the buildings do tend to pop in when flying close, the hotels especially.

Might be worth looking at although it may have something to do with SU5. Might need a fix.

Cheers

That's because of the X Box LOD system. Microsoft asked us developers to ensure good performance, so objects disappear in a closer range compared to the PC versions.

Thanks Thorsten.

It would be cool though if you could increase the LOD. Im pretty sure it wouldn't hit performance that badly considering we can load in New York with photogrammetry without many problems. The Xbox Series X is a pretty decent piece of kit. Would improve the experience immeasurably!

But i notice now, this is wrong:
I own Landmarks of Germany BW with Version 1.9 on my Xbox and there is no Update in the Marketplace. In the webshop is actually 1.11.
And Landmarks of Germany Hessen 1.4 in the Marketplace, webshop 1.6.
Sadly there are problems with FS2020 Updates which are supposably fixed in the newer versions, but now for several month not available for my Xbox! :cry:

Greetings,
Michael

The Marketplace versions usually take a bit longer to be updated, as we need for them to be tested by the Marketplace test team first.
New versions should be available in the next couple of days.
