Hello Carlos,
If the developer wishes to retail the products at Orbx, in the first instance, please ask him to send in a support ticket.
It will then be passed to the right person to deal with. -
Hello,
"VBS" appears to be system specific and if you want to see a new catalogue of unpronounceable acronyms,
just take a look at this article: Virtualization-based Security (VBS) | Microsoft LearnOut of interest, I disabled it, rebooted the PC and found an extra 3fps in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
As this was an increase from 31 fps to 34 fps for the identical scenario, around the promised 10%, I was not able to get excited.
I have ordinary eyes, that without a frame rate counter, cannot tell the difference.
It certainly seems to be a "thing" but whether it would be enough to prompt a move away from Windows 11,
or even Windows 10, if you have it, is another matter.
The internet is very good at creating storms in teacups.
In this case, it seems that Microsoft are in fact acting in the Windows users' best interests and not, as some
of the articles seem to be tacitly suggesting, conspiring to ruin a gamer's experience.-

Thanks Smudger.

Hello,
openLC Base needs to be below all of the other openLC entries and then all of those entries need to be below the lowest of your
other developers' add-ons.
The Insertion Point tool in Orbx Central will do all of that for you if you follow the brief guide on its Orbx Central page.

Thanks.
Do you have C:\programdata\Microsoft\FSX-SE\scenery.cfg or C:\programdata\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg please?You could also try a complete reinstall of Orbx Central:
https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/216453-how-to-completely-reinstall-orbx-central-in-windows/ -
I see that you have selected FSX.
Possibly, if you restore your original scenery.cfg file and select FSX:Steam Edition, Orbx Central will find it at
C:\programdata\Microsoft\FSX-SE -
Hello,
Orbx Central seems to be telling you that the existing one is corrupt, as the simulator
would not run without one.
Using a new one, while keeping the old one will let Orbx Central work. -
Hello,
rename your scenery.cfg file to scenery.cfg.off and restart FSX.
It will create a new one and then Orbx Central will work. -

Hello,
often, if not always, these are due to a conflicting addon in the Community folder.
You can rule that in (or out) as the cause by renaming the Community folder to CommunityX,creating a new Community folder and then putting only the "offending" product into it.
For good measure, delete the scenery .dat files and run MSFS.
If there are no mauve bits, you have your answer.The fun then starts, in trying to find the other one. 🙂

Hello,
The Caribou is now the property of Microsoft.
Perhaps you can ask the same question at their Zendesk?-

Hello,
if it wasn't installed at all, then once it is, you will need to reinstall the airports. -
Hello,
the jetways need SODE before they can work.
Is that installed?It must also be registered and active.
-
Hello,
to help with the search for the conflicting addon, here they are with almost the entire Orbx Direct MSFS catalogue installed.447 items added by the addons linker, so if you bought it from Orbx, that addon is not the cause of the problem.

Hello,
or it may just be how the simulator works, as explained by Holger Sandmann, here:

Hello,
I think that you can safely leave the content.xml file alone these days, simulator updates have changed its method of working.
I am sure that if you delete the scenery indexes and make sure that there are no other addons in the Community folder, that youwill see what the developers intended and what I see.

Hello John,
if the problem really is long file names, the fixes don't seem to be too complicated.Here is one for Windows 10 and 11:
Make Windows accept File Paths over 260 characters (thewindowsclub.com) -
Hello John,
the folder is called JK_Caribou_RAAF_A4-152 and contains another folder named texture.JK_Caribou_RAAF_A4-152

Many Happy Returns.

Hello John,
using my own guide, I tried this one.
https://flightsim.to/file/50814/de-havilland-canada-dhc-4-caribou-raaf-a4-152
If you are seeing all the other liveries, I can only suggest that you try uninstalling and reinstalling the aircraft model.
-
Hello John,
it goes like this:1. Choose your repaint at flightsim.to.
I have chosen one by Jankees, Fieldair.2. Download the file from flightsim.to
You will have a new folder, JK_Caribou_Fieldair_upmBq.zip3. Extract the file to a folder of your choice.
Inside the folder of your choice, you will have a folder named JK_Caribou_Fieldair
Copy that folder into your Community folder.(If you use the addons linker, copy the folder into your chosen folder and link it to your Community folder).
4. Start MSFS and search the aircraft menu for Caribou, then click on Liveries.
It will then appear in the simulator:

Hello,
I see this too.
I note though, that the square halos are not there if the time preview is used to simulate nighttime instead.
This could be a useful workaround, if it is the same for you.

Hello Carlos,
I have installed it and given it a try for you.
As one might expect for a Landmarks pack, with all of the landmarks in a small area,
it does seem to make the simulator work a bit harder than usual, but for me, it is still
useable. You can just see the 32 FPS in the bottom left hand corner of this screenshot.
I wonder if it is perhaps using up all of the VRAM on your system?
