Hello,
the picture in the first post is of P3D v5, I am surprised that you didn't see it:

Hello,
sometimes this is the only solution to a problem.1. Open: Orbx Central\Settings\Downloader and note the location of the temporary files.
In Windows File Explorer, go to that location and delete the Orbx folder.2. Close Orbx Central and uninstall it, using the Windows Control Panel
3. Delete:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\orbx-central-updater and
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Orbx\Central
The appdata folder is hidden by default, so if it is, you will need to visit the Windows File Explorer
view settings and tick “Show hidden files, folders and drives”.4. Reinstall Orbx Central from this link: https://orbxdirect.com/central

Hello,
I don't know what is the cause of your present problem but the ability to disable Vector AEC was there to solve problems caused by Vector AEC itself.
As there is no AEC element in Vector for P3D v5, it cannot cause any problems and therefore no solutions are required.
For the record, I do not see the problem either. -
Hello,
customers may see this error message when trying to add an existing Orbx Central Library back into Orbx Central.
Here is the workaround.1. Close Orbx Central.
2. Rename your Orbx Central Library folder by adding X to its folder name.
3. In the same location, create a new and empty folder using the same folder name, but without the X.
4. Open and use Orbx Central to create a new Orbx Central Library and point that new library to the new and empty folder.
5. Close Orbx Central again.6. Delete the new and empty folder and then remove the X from the original folder name.
7. Open Orbx Central and you have your new Orbx Central Library, containing all of your existing products.
Please note that it may take a while for Orbx Central to count the folders and files in the new Library,
so the total size may not be correctly reported straight away.
This has no effect on the way that it works. -
Hello,
Orbx products that are not available to install using Orbx Central do appear to work
in X Plane 12, although they will not have any of the X Plane 12 enhancements.Here are four ways to load all of your Orbx products into X Plane 12.
Method 1.
To be used if you do not have X Plane 11 or any Orbx products installed.
Go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local.
There you will see x-plane_install_12.txt
Rename it to x-plane_install_11.txt
Open Orbx Central and it will recognise your X Plane 12 installation as X Plane 11.
You can then install any previously uninstalled Orbx products.
When you have finished, rename the text file back to x-plane_install_12.txt
Method 2.
To be used if you no longer have X Plane 11 installed.
It requires that you have installed your Orbx products into an Orbx Central Library.Go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local.
There you will see x-plane_install_12.txt
Rename it to x-plane_install_11.txt
Open Orbx Central and it will recognise your X Plane 12 installation as X Plane 11.
Run Orbx Central\Settings\Help\Sync Simulator.
When you have finished, rename the text file back to x-plane_install_12.txt
Method 3.
To be used if you have both X Plane 11 and X Plane 12 installed.
It requires that you have installed your Orbx products into an Orbx Central Library.
You will see x-plane_install_11.txt, temporarily rename it to x-plane_install_11xx.txt.
Rename x-plane_install_12.txt to x-plane_install_11.txt
Open Orbx Central for X Plane 11 and run Sync Simulator.
Rename the two text files back to x-plane_install_11.txt and x-plane_install_12.txt
Method 4.
To be used if you installed all of your products into X Plane 11\Custom Scenery.
Copy or make links of all of the contents of X Plane 11\Custom Scenery into X Plane 12\Custom Scenery
Note 1: this link appears to give the location of the x-plane_install_1x.txt file in OSX and Linux

Note 2: now that Orbx Central does install some products into X Plane 12, do not install both X plane 11
and X Plane 12 versions of the same product into X Plane 12.

How To Programmatically Locate X-Plane on the Hard Drive - X-Plane Developer
Note 2: Customer feedback suggests that the Mac OS file is hidden:
username – library – (show hidden files: command+shift+".") – preferences
will reveal it.
It is to be found here: in a hidden folder called 'x-plane' in your home directory.Note 3: now that Orbx Central does install some products into X Plane 12, do not install both X Plane 11
and X Plane 12 versions of the same product into X Plane 12.
Note 4: Please install the X Plane 11 Libraries, as well as the X Plane 12 Libraries.
Note 5: In Windows, the appdata folder is hidden by default, so to see it, the user must select
"Show hidden files, folders and drives" in their Windows File Explorer View settings.

I see that you have also posted your request underneath the solution in this topic.If you cannot apply that, send in a support ticket and we will lead you through it.

If you want Orbx Central to recognise the libraries, then you will need to put all of the product folders into an msfs folder.
If you don't then it doesn't matter. -
You will need D:\Orbx\MSFS and then copy each product folder intact into that.
For example, D:\Orbx\msfs\Vessels Enhanced AI.
Leave all the contents of Vessels Enhanced AI as they are.

Hello,
I cannot find this disappearing needle in the haystack either.
However, if it is there with an empty Community folder, have
you bought any products, even mesh ones, at the in-game Marketplace?-

Hello,
please don't forget that in some cases, we are dealing with airports that were released
on the same day as MSFS was, such as LOWI and therefore long before there were any
simulator updates that made things like selectable static aircraft possible.
In the particular case of LOWI, I understand that the whole airport is one model, so thatindividual parts cannot be removed in any case.
I am also no airport developer but I can imagine that if an airport is to be designed with
selectable static aircraft, then that would need to be built in at the beginning, which is
probably why the option has not been offered for older products but is, for example,
being offered by Marcus during his redevelopment of existing ones. -
Hello,
as far as I am aware, there is no limit to the number of Orbx Central Libraries and they can of course all be given names of your choice.
As long as you are copying intact folders from one library to another library, Orbx Central will continue to see them.
The file structures must not be disturbed. -
Hello,
yes, you can do that and it will not cause you any problems.

Hello,
checked, as requested.
Installed just now.
It looks like it is the same correct version:
Three runways, both here:
and here:

Is there a chance any of the Orbx team can look into this please? I got the feedback from the developer that the 3rd runway should be there a 100% and it seems like that Orbx central doesn't have the latest patch in the database.
Hello,
please open Orbx Central and check which version is installed:
It does appear to have enough runways:

Hello,
I have sent you a forum Private Message.

Hello,
your Orbx Direct account log in and your Orbx Central log in are the same thing.
If you sent your support ticket in using one email address, you must monitor that email address in order to receive the reply.
The email address that you used to send the ticket is the same email that you have registered at Orbx Direct.
It is also the email address that you asked, in the ticket, to be assigned to your Orbx Direct account, but it had already been done,
presumably by you.
If you need a hint, it includes "21".
-
Hello,
I have replied to your support ticket.
In case you did not receive that either, the email that is assigned to your Orbx Direct account
is already the email address that you asked to have assigned to your account.
I notice that you are using a third different email address in these forums.
