[autogen missing in Nederland true earth]

Hello,

you can untick it, in the add-ons list in P3D.

[autogen missing in Nederland true earth]

Hello,

how does it look if you untick the Germany scenery in your scenery library?

[Solutions for problems with Objectflow]

To install objectflow using Orbx Central, first an Orbx Central Scenery Library must be created.

This Orbx Central Scenery Library should not be the preinstalled "Main Library" in the Users folder

but a new Orbx Central Library, outside any of Windows' folders.

 

This is an extract from the User Guide.

Creating a library

The first time you start Central, you will be prompted to create a library. If you would like to create more libraries, you can do this by going to Settings > Libraries and clicking “create a new library”.

 

This will prompt you to choose a name and an install location for this library.

 

There are a few requirements when choosing a library location:

• You cannot choose a location that is within a simulator’s root directory.

• You cannot place a library at the root of a volume (you’ll need to create a directory). This means a location like D:\ is invalid, but D:\Library is valid.

• You cannot choose a directory that already contains files.

 

 

Once the Library has been created, select objectflow from the Misc section of My Products and click on Install.

 

 

Then select your Orbx Central Library

 

 

and objectflow will be installed into it.

[autogen missing in Nederland true earth]

No.

Please have a look at Autogen\default.xml, either in P3D itself, if your products are installed inside it or if not,

look for the same file in any addon's remote folder.

See what size the file is.

Typically, the default size is 7.23 MB, with Orbx definitions added, 22.7 MB.

 

[autogen missing in Nederland true earth]

Hello,

yes, that or another product like it are likely suspects.

Here is what I see.

 

[Fix for blocks and/or night textures in Orbx Global Base or open LC scenery]

Hello,

it seems that this is a fairly common problem.

 

The reason is usually that the  Orbx version of the lclookup.bgl file has been replaced with another one, usually the default version.

The second reason is also because the Orbx edits to the terrain.cfg file have been replaced, once again usually by the default version.

Both these files are crucial to the correct display of Orbx Global base and all the open LC products.

 

It is important to be aware that if the Delete Generated Files batch file in the P3D root folder has been run, the terrain.cfg file will have

been restored to its default state. Similarly, if an update to the P3D version or even a re-installation of the existing version has been

carried out, the lclookup.bgl file will also have been returned to its default state.

These are not the only causes of this problem, but they are the main ones.

 

If your scenery starts to look like this:

 

 

First run Verify files for Global Base and for all your open LC products and

the Orbx Libraries to rule out the possibility of missing files.

 

If this does not work:

 

1a. If your Orbx Libraries are installed into the P3D folder

 

Please try renaming Scenery\BASE\Scenery\lclookup.bgl to lclookup.bgl .off

Run Verify files for the Orbx Libraries which will replace the lclookup.bgl file.

 

1b. If your Orbx Libraries are installed into an Orbx Central Library, please do not rename

Scenery\BASE\Scenery\lclookup.bgl to lclookup.bgl .off

 

2. Rename C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\terrain.cfg to terrain.cfg.off

 

3. Run P3D v4 once to create a new terrain.cfg file and close it.

 

4. Then run Sync Simulator in Orbx Central which will write back the Orbx entries.

Orbx Central\Help\Sync Simulator

 

5. Then try P3D again.

 

Please note:

1. that each of these steps must be taken in this exact order, or further problems will result.

2. that the term "Orbx Libraries" refers specifically to the Orbx Libraries product, it does not

mean Orbx products in general.

 

 

[Connection Interruption]

Thank you for your comments.

I have not suggested that the cause is user error, I have suggested that there

are options in the software of which you have not taken advantage.

 

As to your reaction to my "condescending tone", sometimes the lack of personal contact

allows what is intended as a straightforward suggestion to be interpreted as something

else, particularly if the recipient has a point that they wish to make.

 

I am wondering if I have interpreted this correctly.

You mean like this already ticked option. As you mention, this is the default. I have not changed this setting (why the hell is it even a setting?!) and yet your software still filled up /tmp and then failed without any indication to me as to the issue, not even a "I've run out of space in the temporary location" message. It just kept trying again and again to force files into a filled up /tmp partition. Smart.

 

This is a screenshot I just took, with that setting ticked:

 

 

It shows that Orbx Central is using what I assume to be the Linux temp directory and it offers the option to

edit that directory to a different location.

Using /tmp/Orbx/temp is causing you a problem but you apparently decline to use that option?

Perhaps we continue to misunderstand each other.

To address your other questions, 

 

1. I did not read every word of the browser user guide. I do still look for written advice when I encounter a problem or a solution for something I would like to do.

2. I would think that the installation is stopping because of the lack of disk space, as already discussed.

 

Finally, the "the exact crap I had to deal with last year.." was with a much earlier version of Orbx Central.

I cannot comment on Linux, having no experience of it.

 

[Connection Interruption]

Hello,

you highlight your terrible user experience and there is nothing passive about your statements about it.

I regret that your user experience has been terrible.

Here are the two pages of Orbx Central that could have been used to avoid the problems that you have encountered.

The default setting is "Check disk space before installing" and "Automatically backup product install files" ticked.

 

 

I do not consider it unreasonable to consult a User Guide before using a program.

 

 

 

 

[Connection Interruption]

Hello,

perhaps you could read the User Guide, which details how to choose where Orbx Central

puts its temporary files and how to choose where to install the products.

Or are you stating that these facilities are not available to you as a Linux user?

Hello,

as your question has nothing to do with the topic subject any more, could you

post it into the X Plane 11 support forum instead please?

Hello,

how are things today?

Hello,

this was mine yesterday:

 

 

and this is it this morning.

 

 

 

Hopefully your experience will be the same.

[Connection Interruption]

Hello,

this has been looked into, after having been reported yesterday.

It should improve when the sale is over, apologies for the inconvenience,

it seems to be affecting those of us who are in the UK, including me of course.

[feedback : very slow download rate]

Hello,

I have experienced the same and I have reported it.

Thanks, it remains a fix until incorporated into the product download, I have amended the title to reflect that

and pinned the topic as requested.

[Central TrueEarth Netherlands issue topics]

Hello,

could you have an addon airport that is changing the textures to winter snow?

Hello,

it looks like your AI program is placing aircraft in the wrong locations.

This is the airport with the Orbx AI for P3D v4.

Hello,

thanks for this report.

I will add it to the long list but I am not aware of any plans to update the Vector product.

[Prerequisite software without which Orbx Central will not work]

 

System Requirements

  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=48145

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC

  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685

• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 (x64)

  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

 

Additional Requirements for Windows 7 and 8

• Windows Update KB2533623

  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=26764

• Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows

  • https://web.goog.cdn.Orbxdirect.com/software/vcredist/Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu

• •  

 

macOS

macOS High Sierra (10.13) or later is required.

Linux

Compatibility may vary from distro to distro. Orbx Central uses .NET Core 3 and exact requirements for Linux compatibility can be found below:

https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/3.0/3.0-supported-os.md#linux

 

The GNU C library is required for TrueEarth texture conversion. The package name differs based on your Linux distro. Use the appropriate package manager for your distro to install the package.

 

• Debian/Ubuntu: libc6-dev

• Red Hat/Fedora: glibc-devel

• Arch/Manjaro: lib32-glibc

The simulator does not appear in the list

Make sure you’ve launched your simulator at least once, as many simulators won’t correctly set their location until they’re launched. You’ll also need to restart Central if you have installed or started a new simulator. 

 

 

 

 

[YBCS Cairns does install but not visible in Scenerylibrary]

Hello,

I understand that Fly Tampa-Sydney_LC is a scenery library entry that needs to be removed.

Even if you have the updated airport, you still need to open its control panel and tick the

Australia v2 box.

[YBCS Cairns does install but not visible in Scenerylibrary]

Hello,

Australia did not contain any airports at all.

Australia v2 contains upgraded airports for almost all the airports in Australia.

The updates to compatibility with Australia v2 apply only to the Orbx payware and freeware

airports. If you are using Orbx Central, the updates will be applied for you.

[YBCS Cairns does install but not visible in Scenerylibrary]

Hello,

the latest releases were not really service packs but updates just

to make the airports compatible with Australia version 2.

If you use Orbx Central, the updates can be applied using that.

If you are using FTX Central, they have to be applied manually,

using the files from this topic.

 

 

[Want a sharper image? (New nVidia driver from Nov 2019) - Image Sharpening function]

Hello Empire,

I fell into the same trap as you have.

Instead of setting the sharpening in the Global setting, use the Program Settings tab

and set the sharpening for the exe file in question, fsx.exe, Prepar3D.exe, X-Plane.exe

and so on.

Then the sharpening will be applied to the game only and leave the rest of your

software as it was.
