Hotfixes [X-Plane]

[trisho0]

Based on the reply just a couple of posts up by Emilios, the hotfix would always have the most recent updates. So with that said, I'd say the best way making sure you're on the most current version is to install via the installer and then apply the hotfix but Emilios will of course have to correct me if I'm mistaken.

So, either way I think will not hurt applying the latest Hotfixes regardless if the Installer is updated or not. But, I wait for Emilio's reply.

That's my understanding as well.

That's my understanding as well.

I applied the Hotfixes ver 1.1 and it added 2 extra folders.

That is correct, the hotfix has the latest fixes which you can apply. When the hotfix is not anymore the latest update, it will be removed, or replaced with a newer one.

But you shouldn't have new folders, as the fix should only contain replacements to existing files.

Did you drop the whole 'Custom Scenery' folder into Xplane11 root folder?

I might be wrong about 2 extra folders because I saw they were highlighted after copy-paste so I got confused (lol), I do have have the following entries in the scenery_packs.ini file:

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_0_airport/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_0_city/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_0_overlays/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_1_overlays/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_2_Photoreal/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_LasVegas_3_Mesh/

I realized from that thread this:
"Quick patch to improve city ground textures and add the option to remove animated billboards (replace with static)"
If I reinstall Las Vegas over again should I recover the animated billboards?
Not clear this yet, quick patch to improve city ground textures is what I want. Not the option to remove animated billboards replacing with static.
How to use then the Hotfixes 1.1?

If you only require the hotfix for the ground improvement, then you just need to apply the hotfix as instructed-nothing else is needed. You only need to do some additional manual changes if interested in replacing animations with static billboards.

I think somehow this thread got a little mess. I am talking about Las Vegas and this thread is Copenhagen Forum. I am confused now, Hotfixes 1.1 for Las Vegas. From this thread only appears Custom Scenery patch for Copenhagen. Please, can you fix this thread? Other members will get confused here.
