I'm curious to know people's impression of this product post-update please? Have ORBX made good, or are they still tainted?

I think they have done a decent job with a fix release. They have allowed the higher resolution Asobo objects (such as Tower Bridge and the Shard) to remain visible and they have fixed HMS Belfast to point the right way! To me it's a big improvement on the out-of-box version of London and, for the money, good value. One lesson learned with this though - it took a couple of weeks after ORBX released their patch for it to turn up on the Microsoft store and you could only update from the original place you bought it. I'll be buying direct in future.

I've also added the Dor Rager's Thames Water files from Flightsim.to

I'll try to post some screenies later...

Is it perfect? No.
Is it a hell of a lot better for £6.49? Certainly!

One thing that Orbx hope to be able to remedy in future is the slightly annoying problem that vehicles crossing the river use the flat default bridges, not the 3d bridges that Orbx provide so they look as if they are running underneath. Apparently they can't fix this with the current SDK bit it is a known problem.
