A small patch made with the aim to use the fantastic iniBuilds Dubai freeware along with the payware ORBX Dubai landmarks pack. In this mod I have chosen the iniBuilds landmarks over the ORBX whenever possible due to the quality of the iniBuilds landmarks being better. Originally I was planning to choose the ORBX animated ferrys wheel, but in the end decided to stick with the iniBuilds version due to the superior night lighting effects that could not be salvaged.
No external libraries are required except the iniBuilds Dubai skydive airport landmarks OMDU available either at the iniBuilds website or Simmarket and the Landmarks Dubai City Pack from ORBX.
Important: for the scenery to show up correctly first of all rename the "inibuilds-airport-omdu-skydive-dubai" folder to "zz-inibuilds-airport-omdu-skydive-dubai". This way the iniBuilds scenery will be loaded after the ORBX but before this pack.
Installation: unzipe the file named "zzz-dubai-merge-zzz" into your "Community" folder.
If I have missed any landmark and they still show up duplicated let me know in the comments.
P.S. This pack does not modify the original scenery in any way nor does it include any of the official content! This is only the patch to use the both Dubai sceneries at once.
P.P.S. If you have the Bullseye Landing Challenge installed and you see Burj Al Arab skyscraper being duplicated go to your "Official" folder. Here search for the two files named "POI_BurjAlArab.bgl" and "POI_BurjAlArab_ModelLib.bgl" then rename the ".bgl" extension to ".off" for the both files.
Would be nice to see it one day after an update....!

The only issue for me is the renaming part as I use the ini Manager to update their packs - obviously using it now would reinstall the pack side by side with the renamed one, however there is a convenient trick I'd like to share:
In MSFS general settings/experimental there is access to the package reorder tool → open it and set priority for inibuilds-airport-omdu-skydive-dubai to "1" and priority for zzz-dubai-merge-zzz to "2". Naturally the orbx pack has priority "0", so the loading order is correct 😉
I tested this on my own system and it seems working as expected.

Deseo saber si vas a realizar más adelante alguna modificación o lo dejaa así?
También si en un futuro piensas fusionar el iniBuilds de Abu Dhab i con el complemento de AviaJam Production – Abu Dhabi Landmarks v1.0.0.
Éxitos y felicitaciones de nuevo por tu gran trabajo con la comunidad!

I changed it as needed: zz-inibuilds-scenery-omdu-skydive-dubai, zzz-dubai-merge-zzz, POI_BurjAlArab.bgl.off, etc.
Installed add-ons, Orbx and iniBuilds.

Could it be possible for you to make a similar merge between SamScene3D – Shanghai City Times & AMJ Scenery Studio – Ultra China – Shanghai City? Priority SamScene. I would like the buildings that are not present in SamScene but in AMJ Scenery Studio will be displayed, so we can have a more complete package....Thanks

Creo que al igual que yo, estabamos esperando esta fusion, el ORBX se complementa muy bien con el escenario de iniBuilds , tu nos leiste la mente a muchos, es un gran trabajo mi amigo,.
Lo único es que se duplica el helipúerto del Burj Al Arab, de resto esta de 5 estrellas. Estaremos atentos a actualizaciones, saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia.

One question - I now see 2 helipads on Burj Khalifa on the in-game world map as spawnpoints (just the map though, the building doesn't look like it has anything duplicated). Is that intended?

If you ever update it for some reason, would it be possible to add an exclusion of the Asobo OMDB? I seem to have issues when I delete it from one of the World Updates, so IniBuild's OMDB is the only thing that still has conflicts/duplicates for me.
Thank you again!
