Smudger: I re-set my graphics in P3D to match yours. Thank you. It is so much better. Thank you and Doug for all your help.

Now that iss likely Orbx. A little embarrassing that un-checking that box could make such a difference. (Thank you). I'm trying to move-up from FSX:SE to P3D and XP, but they didn't require an intelligence test! Any comments on my settings, would be appreciated.

Is this a bit better? It does look much better with that box un-checked (thank you). Maybe it IS Orbx!

Its strange, right! The Orbx files are physically on the hard drive. They are in add-ons.cfg. They're in the P3d scenery library grayed-out but checked, Yet the Central library shows "0" bytes, and the scenery does not load. Any suggestions?

Well, damn! The library has stopped searching, and has accepted C:/Orbx Library, but shows 0 size, and when I fly, still not Orbx. Looks like P3d default. As a test, I verified Base and Washington, but still shows 0 bytes, and not Orbx scenery in sim. I'll contact you Monday. I love this hobby; it keeps me drinking!

I re-booted the computer, and it accepted it. So, I tried C, and it now accepts it. Also now allows a sync. So, I'm going to try a flight. I'll let you know.

I re-named the old library on C:, then switched to my D: drive and created an Orbx Library there. Empty. When I click Save, it searches for awhile then times-out. For some reason, Central is not seeing my hard drive, it seems. I also received an error dialogue that it could not sync my sim.

Well, it did let me get passed while spinning. When I went to Libraries there was my library, but with 0 size. I hit Save and it spun looking for awhile then came up with "Timed Out". So, it does not like C:/Orbx Libraries.

Followed the steps. On Central re-opening, I got the same red Worker not loading warning. When it asked me to create the library, I directed it to the one I created yesterday: C:/Orbx Library. It spun for quite awhile, then brought the create your library dialogue box up again. So, it couldn't find it,, either. I can't get past that. Shall I try creating a directory on D:, or maybe create a new folder with no files in it, and direct it to it (that would probably require re-install?)?

I apologizer for this turning into such a time-suck. Really. I cleared the temp folder, tuned-off updates and restarted. A red error box came up indicating that Orbx Worker did not load. Size in Libraries still spinning.

Any chance you could guide me thru cleaning the registry entries for Central? Interesting, that I installed another airport this morning, and it installed fine into the C:/Orbx Library that I created yesterday. So, Central is finding it. But, in Central Libraries, the "Size" column keeps spinning. So, its using CPU. Like its searching for the library.

Okay; I deleted that line, and then ran the sim. Still not picking-up Orbx. The top photo is looking at Boeing Field; the second looking at Seattle downtown. Terrible screenshots, but definitely not Orbx. If it helps diagnostically, in Orbx Central > Libraries, under "Size" one of those "busy" icons just spins around, like its trying to do something. If I exit and return, same thing. Since yesterday. I was thinking of un-installing my Orbx scenery using Central, then re-installing, but when I tested doing that with a small airport, no help. I have no clue what to try. Maybe if I un-installed the scenery, as swell as Central, then cleaned the registry, re-install? Whaddya think?

Well, Doug, I did as above. The transfer of files went fairly quickly and smoothly. But in Settings>Libraries, the Orbx Library "size" column has one of those "busy" circles that continuously to go round in circles, as if its processing. Its been doing it for hours. I've exited Central, but when I return, same ting. I've even un-installed and re-installed Central, but same thing. The new folder I created and transferred the files to is C:/Orbx Library. I've attached add-ons config, because at the bottom, under [DiscoveryPath.1], because although the paths for P3d sceneery appea to be correct, it has an entry to the old C:/users location for X-Plane. The correct for my Orbx X-Plane files are in C:/OrbxLibrary/xp11. Should I change it? Maybe that's what is confusing it? I wanted to check with you, first. add-ons.cfg

Wow! I didn't even get out of my chair! Here ya go: scenery_add-ons.xmladd-ons.cfgscenery.cfg Sorry. Wide-screen = lousy screenshots.

Thank you, Doug, for the near-instant reply! Yes; my Add-on list shows my Orbx P3D library contents, and they are indeed checked. Unfortunately, the scenery does not load. Here's a shot taken Northbound just after taking-off from 34R at Seattle Intl (KSEA). As you see, it is very clearly not the gorgeous Orbx Pacific Northwest scenery. I'm thinking I need to un-install and re-install all my Orbx (dread), but as a test, I tried doing that with a couple of small airports, and they didn't load. Any suggestions before I take the plunge?

As is sometimes the case in this hobby, all was well until suddenly it wasn't. P3dD reported it could not load because of a corrupted scenery.cfg file; that I needed to abort and re-install. So, I un-installed/re-installed P3d. My Orbx Library was in the Main Library, and is therefore is unmolested. Central shows my Orbx files still installed, but the files do not appear in my scenery.cfg, and they are grayed-out in the P3D scenery library. So, everything appears to be there, just not connected. In Central, I tried re-synching the simulator, as suggested in Nick's May 2020 post, but no luck. Not sure where to o from here. Should I un-install all Orbx and re-install?

Once again. you came thru, Nick! Last several big boys did not result in a freeze. Thank you!

Hi: Whenever I download a large file, at the very end, Central reverts to "In Queue" and my computer freezes. I've found several forum reports from about a year ago on this issue, and they suggest deleting the Orbx folder in the %Temp% folder. I'll be darned if I can find it. Can you please guide a dull boy?
