Piper9t3 2 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just purchased Cologne-Bonn EDDK and very happy with the quality of the scenery. The scenery installed ok into the Community folder however oddly enough it does not show up in the MSFS Content Manager? Your Paderborn home base airport is there (which I downloaded from the Marketplace) but EDDK purchased from your online shop is not present. Is there a reason for this?

Developer OPabst 2091 Posted December 5, 2020 Developer Share Posted December 5, 2020 In the Content Manager you only see products, you buy (even free) via the Marketplace. All community products are not listed there, even when the same product is also available in the Marketplace. The Community „Content“ is handed by the content provider via there own tools, in case of Aerosoft Colonge it is the ASupdater tool. So you get the updated directly and much faster then via the Mircosoft Marketplace and Content handling, much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper9t3 2 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I understand the ASupdater will handle the updates but I thought the Content Manager was to show all community products installed in the sim. I have purchased scenery from other online vendors and their products are listed in the Content Manager with a "Community" symbol next to them and they too have their own update tools. Regardless, the scenery installed ok and looks great ! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer OPabst 2091 Posted December 5, 2020 Developer Share Posted December 5, 2020 I will check it tomorrow. When my Product La Gomera is in the list of the content manager at the moment, because it is only available via Aerosoft yet, but in some days (or weeks) when it will be available via the Marketplace too, is not anymore listet, it could be the reason for Cologne too: Products only available Marketplace or only via external community are shown correct, „mixed“ products not. Only speculation, but in this platform many things are speculative yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted December 5, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 5, 2020 The Content Manager originally didn't show add-ons obtained outside the Marketplace, but it does now, including version numbers and that they're in the Community folder. However, in doing the screen shot for this reply, I realized only one of my three Aerosoft add-ons show up and the other two (EDDK and EDLP) are missing, while other publishers content is all there. Fortunately, the AS ones are in the content .xml and work as expected. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer OPabst 2091 Posted December 6, 2020 Developer Share Posted December 6, 2020 Have checked La Gomera, is in the list as Community content. Let's see what happens, when it is available in the Marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
