This is just for your information - I have all of the ORBX Australia sceneries, which includes Coffs Harbour, YCFS. As you may know Coffs Harbour changed its ICAO code back in Nov 2007 from YSCH to YCFS. When FSX first came out it was called YSCH. In later years when ORBX did their Coffs Harbour scenery they had to (for FSX technical reasons) also name it YSCH, despite the fact that the real world ICAO code had by then changed to YCFS. And when ORBX upgraded Coffs Harbour for P3D they still had to retain the old ICAO code of YSCH.
When P3D V4.3 was released I did a full install as opposed to just the 'client'. In the last month or so I installed your AustralasiaOceaniaUpdate. Recently I opened up Coffs Harbour to commence a flight from there. I noticed there were double textures over the whole airport. The default airport was sitting over the ORBX scenery. What I also found was in the 'Go To Airport' menu there were two entries for Coffs Harbour. One for YSCH and the other YCFS. Working with ORBX, and much frustration later, we found your update was one of the causes.
Now, there is nothing wrong with your update, and I want to make that quite clear. It was all to do with FSX and ORBX using the old ICAO code of YSCH, and you using the correct ICAO code of YCFS. When your update was installed it created a YCFS entry in the 'Go To Airport' menu and that placed the P3D default Coffs Harbour textures over the ORBX YSCH textures. Once I un-installed your AustralasiaOceaniaUpdate I was back to normal ORBX Coffs Harbour textures and one entry in the 'Go To Airport' menu which was for YSCH (the old ICAO code which ORBX was required to use because FSX used it when they released FSX). I'm not the only one who had this problem. While discussing this in the ORBX forum two other flightsimmers also came on board with the identical problem which was resolved by un-installing your AustralasiaOceaniaUpdate.
As I originally said, this is for information only. I'm not requesting any support. If any of your members do end up with double textures over their ORBX scenery for Coffs Harbour, the unfortunate remedy is to un-install your update.
You do a great job and your efforts are appreciated. I do have a question for you though - is it possible for you to do some sort of work around so we can have our cake and eat it too, i.e. ORBX Coffs Harbour YSCH and your update? At the moment we can't have both.
