It is still in closed beta, indefinitely.

Yes

Closed beta for all, which means it is still being tested and developed by a closed group of testers and is not yet ready for regular use by all.

Hi It is still in closed beta.

Turns out I can run the Ryzen 9 3950X in my X370 mobo. So there will be many more options than you think. Also, the 8700K is fully matured and optimized and has unfortunately no where to go but down with continuous security patches....while the Ryzen lineup has nowhere to go but up with windows and bios optimizations. Keep in mind, the 3600X does not need the more expensive cooler or mobo as it does not create the heat or power draw the 8700k does @5ghz and was not required for the testing. AMD measure their TDP at boost clock, Intel measure theirs at stock clock.... the whole idea behind the new 7nm tech is far more efficient performance.

Like any scenery package from any developer, the entries need to be placed in a block together for them to work and for the developer to have a hope of providing support....as soon as you introduce other scenery entries in the middle of the block the potential for problems increases drastically, and the poor developer would not have a chance at providing support for their product. It also would make no sense to put non Orbx items in the middle of the Orbx blocks or to put Orbx items in the middle of other non Orbx block of items....so the argument is pointless.

They work fine for me....so lets ask @Graham Eccleston

The Orbx buildings are already at a much higher quality than default.

The statement "(Note – OrbxLibs buildings will not be modified)." refers to your "buildings around regions and payware and freeware airports." so those will not be modified.

Yes, I think the preview announcement is pretty clear, it will replace the default building textures, and "(Note – OrbxLibs buildings will not be modified)."
