Orbx Power Lines vs. MamuDesign Power Lines

Thank-you for the patch Mamu Design - excellent work!! This is a before and after of 400 kV Thames Crossing:

Now looks beautiful!

Will this patch be added to any upcoming Marketplace updates? I.e. will I need to remove the “patch” file after any new version goes live?

Many thanks for all your hard work!

Weird timing! I had just come on to ask if there was a patch coming for the marketplace version.

I’m on xbox, and took the following screenshots the other day:

Yep, next update will include the patch of course!

Good to know, thanks!:+1:

Mamu, I have a question regarding SU5. Flying over Spain at night I get these rows of flashing red lights below that don’t always align with roads or cities. I’m wondering if it may not be your power lines. I would understand there might be warning lights on towers but they would be subtle from altitude.

Hi,

It is a new Microsoft feature related to very high voltage Powerlines, not my stuff

(Guess coming from the Vertical Obstacles package, the same lights are applied to antennas- and those last one are cool because these structures actually have lights, lit Powerlines instead are not really common…otherwise your truly would have added them long time ago :winking_face_with_tongue:)

Maybe I can include in the upcoming update an exclude for those

Could these be wind turbines?

Oh that might be a strong possibility considering that area of Spain has a large number of them. So, did Asobo decide on this SU that they all needed overly bright flashing lights?

These have been in the sim for quite a while …..I’m not running SU5, so can’t say if they have changed, sorry!

Any idea when we can expect a Market Place update. It’ll be nice to get rid of the double pylons but it’s great to have this mod. Adds so much to the sim.

It Is in the works

However for Xbox is complicated because there is no Package reorder tool available on it, hence an update won’t work,

I need to create an additional package 2024 native because of the mess they did by adding those pylons in the way they did it (not compliant with former ones)

@mamuDesign hi, what is the latest ‘Powerlines’ version? Is it “0.9.8” and is “mamudesign-powerlines-su4-patch.zip” still needed for SU5?

Confirm, and patch still needed

Patch? First I’ve heard about that. Is that available from our Account page on your website?

Hey my friend !

Nothing fancy, just a small bunch of Kbytes to remove the cable less SU4 pylons

Even with this patch, i have double power pylons placed either inside one another or side-by-side, as well as both low and high pylons. It seems the original MSFS 2024 pylons are still appearing alongside the Mamu pylons :face_with_diagonal_mouth: I fly mainly in Europe…

Wouldn’t you please mind to provide exact lat/lot location of the occurrences? Thanks!

Is this package still causing stutters in SU5.1?

No, the stuttering with add-ons with multiple objects instancing (like my global scenery), introduced in su5, was solved in 5.1, some reports from other users

(Tbh there was a single report with 100% repro of a place causing stutters -flying from Santa Monica to klax crossing a river- but the core issue was introduced and later fixed by Asobo engineers)

Hands down Mamu is the best. Orbx add-on’s are all resource heavy have lod issues and cause stutters. I won’t buy orbx add-ons anymore.
