It was Manjaro that solved the problem for me that had the 3.72 version of the certificates. On Gentoo I had tried the 3.71 version (Windows uses a rolling version that I don't understand that casued the problem in the first place). On Gentoo I had to run a script to grab zip files: for i in `cat blob.txt`;do wget... and of course I didn't have the foggiest idea where to have the files. So Manjaro with the 3.72 version of the certificates solved it for me.

A happy new year, I've found a way to awk and grep the log file to my heart's content to grab the sceneries and the wget didn't need the -L to download. My new 8 TB drive isn't nearly half full and I've transferred the sceneries there post conversion for less fragmentation (if the btrfs really has any). Had I really unmasked this little package I would have saved me all of the 5 minutes of coding exercise. The Orbx-central (previously called downloader, I'm sorry) is really finicky about the ca-certificate which was previously 3.66, I had to do a little successive unmasking until I've got to version 3.72 (Manjaro shows ca-certificates-mozilla-3.72-1 as well where it does run). Another user (apparently he's had a slow external drive or ioctl bottleneck) can't get past the required version and I'm sorry I can't help. Not that I've got his Linux version, they'll need to help me to help.. I'm really happy I could code myself out of problems, I've felt I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar because, well, Christmas. That said I've got the sceneries I've paid for. Regards.

ca-certificates-20211016.3.72

Yes, I've solved the Gentoo issue itself, as well as the managing of hand installing all the zip files to circumvent the network problem. In this way the installer would discover the zip files on drive and continue to install and not cause any error. For us Linux people there's a bit of a fiddle and the software's Windows heritage doesn't lend itself well to user support. I've also figured how to copy the profile files to another distro, I have Manjaro on the same drive and it would run wonderfully there. The real solution with Gentoo was to keyword "ca-certificates-20211016.3.72" and have this installed, one of the files here would be crucial for the Orbx-installer not to crash, what exactly that's going on I can't tell but I've placed special "Roger: not to touch" instructions for the installed file and everything works. Install the latest ca-certificates you could find for your distro.

Hello, I've fixed the problem myself after the devs didn't respond. Firstly I have Linux only and I run X-Plane.

Hello, thanks, I run Gentoo as my daily driver and my distro has to fetch source files for updates and it works just fine. For fun I have Manjaro on the same nvme which also sets the grub, I like the boot screen. I can also tell you that the ca-certificates has opened a bug as a quest open the newer versions for "clean" systems. I'll need to give a keyword "~amd64" to install any newer version, any keyword with the tilde could have an adverse effect on the stability. [I] app-misc/ca-certificates Available versions: 20210119.3.66 ~20210119.3.71 ~20211016.3.72 {cacert} Installed versions: 20210119.3.66(kl. 23.11 +0200 08. juli 2021)(-cacert) Homepage: https://packages.debian.org/sid/ca-certificates Description: Common CA Certificates PEM files The version 20210119.3.66 is highly visible on the terminal with in inverse and green, much more readable, and the tilde ones are in yellow, so that's being in development. I'm using wget for my trials, it's probably unwise to poke around like this but it's for problem solving. I know that if I use 'wget -6' it appears to be the same error as in the log and the "/4" in the url appears to be a ipv4 server. I don't have to emphasize 'wget -4' to grab a zip file and it would download just nicely. So I've concluded that the Orbx-central happily tries to use ipv6 despite it's not told to. I'll try to ask any developer how to go foward with the ca-certificates as I know how to "keyword" the entire system although it's not adviced. It would be nice to get the Orbx-central to work so I don't have to install the sceneries myself. There's a new openssl available although version 3 is hard masked.

Yeah, cheers. I've posted three topics with logs about the issue and didn't hear back for a week. I'm sorry that my purchases has gone to waste.

Hello, I can't get the Orbx Central downloader to work and I think my findings deserves a topic. I have run Linux ever since I could build my own PCs and it said "Use Windows 98ME or better", so, Redhat then.. When I run Orbx Central I'll get two "dangling" symlinks, the SingletonCookie and SingletonLock. They appear red in Midnight commander and they point to files in the same folder that aren't there. Are they supposed to be this way? I've tried to install all of Great Britain for three days (Great Britain South ID: 61a17583b18fe) though my log contains what came out when trying to install the Monument Valley. Would someone look at my log, when it's trying to download sceneries the servers appear to have moved. When I try to hand download some files they give me the 301 error which tells me something doesn't add up. There are several hundred files for Great Britain and if I did get them what would I do with the files? I would also have lost my will to live, I think there are 800 downloads in total and the server isn't "there". The folder blob_storage is interesting, my home folder doesn't have plenty of space so the Central folder inside Orbx had to go in a symlink on the same harddrive as the Orbx library so my home folder doesn't run full. Because of this I've made a fresh profile in case that wasn't the way to do it: I've secretly renamed the main library, started the new profile, quit Orbx Central and renamed the library back. At the next time Orbx Central started it had accepted all the library as it were. I could download single files using wget that works just fine but I don't have the foggiest idea where to put them. I have lots of ways to analyse the logfile but I won't go into boring details, though I'm curious about the 301 error. If I should adress a new server where do I make the change, or does it mandate a new release of the Central downloader? I've purchased sceneries for north of $AUD 200 just this week and I think I can find a way to install the Monument Valley scenery. The C90 at Sedona is lovely in the morning. Would Monument Valley also work on top of the other ortho scenery? I've been good with software since the early KDE days (lol I'm Norwegian so KDE is close to my heart..) and I won't shy away from a little poking, but the Central downloader is a private piece and I could well leave it alone. It's a pity though about all my purchases gone to waste. Regards. central.log scenery_packs.ini

Yeah, cheers. I'm fine with the SAM update, the ~200 AUD I've purchased says Download interrupted when I start to download. I've continuted to purchase all of the British islands. Should I wait before I can try more or do I get a refund please?

Hello, I think Paypal worked for me. I've purchased the Monument Valley and have paid successfully using the inbuilt Paypal window. As Orbx took away my money I haven't been able to download a single byte for several days. With the traffic I think I'll be way into January before I can start to fill my new 8TB drive. So I was bored and have purchased the Washington scenery as well as the entire TE Great Britain. This time I've also tried to go through Paypal but the window shows briefly and dissappeared. I had to bring out my card and entered it and the scenery is now open for download. I think there's an amount limit for Paypal usage, I don't know what the limit is but I've paid.. "some" money to Orbx and haven't downloaded any software yet. I feel terribly stupid but I'll know from experience I have to sit the Christmas out to be able to download anything here. That's my bad.

Hi, I run Gentoo Linux and I've installed the ENOV airport and also Southern California HD last year. I have some space left over and having bought the Monument Valley and the Seattle area I can't for the life of me get the Orbx Central to start downloading. Have any people at all obtained scenery this week? I know I'm impatient but I'm butting my head to the wall here.

Hello, has anyone seen this "Connection interrupted" in 2021? I gave up updating SAM after three days and then had a file sent, although I won't download the "Monument valley" on the new 8TB drive they sell out too fast. I'll work out a use for the space, sadly Orbx Central hasn't offered a single byte since august.

Hello, I've tried to update this and it says "Connection Interrupted. Retrying..." and I've even uninstalled and installed it again. Is there a zip file I could just drop in here that's the same library?

As I've goofed around at Big Bear City in the Sikorsky I've found the issue. I was sure the cool blue lake was out east after RW09 but it's rather out west. After the lake I'll dart downhill after the traffic with various outside views. Not the usual SOP but it's fun. Regards, Roger.

Yes, I will religiously "mount" my spinning hard drives at their relevant points. In Linux there are no station names. I used to fly FlightGear and had a mount at /usr/local/shared for a new, erm, 8 GB drive. Those were the days. This time I have all my terabytes mounted like /mnt/c2, there are three programs to rely on this before attempting to run X-Plane. So the flub above wasn't my usual procedure, I was just caught at the installation phase. Thank you so much and blue skies and good landings to you.
