Hello,
you make a fair point.
I cannot however say when there will be another Vector update.
Sorry.
-
Perhaps you need to visit the file properties and if it is set as read only, change that.
-
Hello,
you are quite correct and it was indeed reported to the Vector developers at the beginning of 2017.
It is apparent that the latest Vector update, 1.6 has unfortunately not included the requested fix.

Hello,
the subject is well covered in this topic
TEGB South SP1 will not do this to Gateway airports
-
Hello,
this topic pertains to TrueEarth GB South, Central and North installations and True Earth HD products.
To install these products successfully, there are prerequisites.
1. There must be enough disk free space on both the installation disk, by default, the C drive and the destination disk.
The location used by the installer can be changed, on the Orbx Central\Settings\Downloader page.
The location of destination disk will be dependent on whether you choose to install into the X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery
folder or an Orbx Central Library.
- The initial download of TEGB South is 26GB, the installation uses at least twice that and the installed product is 127GB
- The initial download of TEGB Central is 16GB, the installation uses at least twice that and the installed product is 77.3GB
- The initial download of TEGB North is 22GB, the installation uses at least twice that and the installed product is 142GB
- The initial download of TE Washington is 39GB, the installation uses at least twice that and the installed product is 207GB
2. Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 must be installed before the installation has been started.
It is free of charge and can be downloaded here.
3. The installation process can take a long time.
The initial download time will depend upon the internet connection.
Notes.
1. If when you start X Plane 11, you see this message:
or the same white text on a blue background
then it may be that the file conversion is not complete.
This can be resolved by running "Verify Files" which will restart the conversion process

Hello,
it is indeed as simple as editing the scenery_packs.ini file which is just a text file.
-
Hello,
the "switcher" in FTX Central works as it should.
For it to work though, there must first be a roads and a roads_t folder.
When you operate the control panel and set transparent roads, the
roads_t folder is renamed to roads but the roads folder is renamed to roads_x.
Upon operating the control panel again, the roads folder is renamed to Roads_t
again and the roads_x to roads again.
If the sequence has been disturbed, just delete both folders and run Verify Files.
This will not take long and will undo any damage.

Hello
this topic is for requests for Orbx freeware airports.
It is not for the propagation of another developer's work, even freeware
and definitely not "donationware".
There are plenty of other forums where this type of information can be shared.
Thanks.
-
If there are no jpg files, the conversion should be already done.
The textures folder should contain 12098 files.
-
Please also include the words "BUG REPORT" in the topic title.
This will attract the necessary attention.
Thanks.
-
Hello,
as has already been posted several times, the installation is not complete.
Please try this:
QuoteHello,
if the download is complete you can try downloading the attached file and dragging it into
X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery\Orbx_C_GB_South_TrueEarth_Orthos\textures.
This should convert the textures for you.
This was the result:
QuoteThanks a lot for your precious advices. I 've followed the instructions given in Nick'post as you suggest.
I converted the jpg files in dds files by adding the "convert" file in the texture folder. It took some hours but now everything works perfectly as you can see on the picture.....Marvelous work....I'd pay a lot for the same quality scenery of whole belgium.....
Thank again.

Hello,
select the line you want to move, cut it, select where you want it to be, select the entry above
the location, press enter and a space will appear.
Paste into that space and save the file.
-
Hello,
it is less to do with being "petty" than leaving the freeware airports
in place to interfere with the region's versions.
Imagine that you had bought FTX Germany and when you updated the
freeware airports, it broke several of the airports that you just paid for?
I would expect that you would be back here complaining that the freeware
airports were available.
As you point out, it is what it is and it will not as far as I am aware be changing.

Hello John,
your post was fine but it attracted an answer that was not.
It made sense only to delete them both.

Hello Dale,
there are two missing posts, the second of which was a comment on a specific
issue and was indeed political.
You appear to have first misquoted Doc_Z who wrote "political discussion" and then redefined "political" to become " of opinion".
The definition is clear
Definition of political
1a : of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government
b : of, relating to, or concerned with the making as distinguished from the administration of governmental policy
2 : of, relating to, involving, or involved in politics and especially party politics
as taken from your own American dictionary.
QuoteFor more than 150 years, in print and now online, Merriam-Webster has been America's leading and most-trusted provider of language information.
Here is the forum rule:
QuotePosts containing religious, political, sexual, discriminatory, or otherwise controversial/offensive content are not allowed and will result in an instant ban.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I have removed the answer and the post it responded to.
The answer has indeed no place here.
The post was fine but had to go.
-
Hello,
The freeware airports do indeed change over time, some are added
and those that are included in payware are taken away.
L52 is now a part of the payware SCA product.
KAVX is now a payware product.

Hello Matt,
It's probably a Vector problem, so I will move your topic to the Vector forum and mark it as
noted and pin it. That's the best I can do for now.
-
Yes, I think so, your fellow customers will still appreciate your efforts,
as we do. Many thanks.

Hello,
each pack was fully installed each time and they were always put into the same folder.
The only difference is that now there is one installer for both sets of freeware airports.

Hello,
It appears that "NA Northern California" cures the problem of there being two bridges.

Thank you very much.

Hello John,
not wishing to start a discussion on the National Health Service, there are those that believe that
it is not underfunded at all, rather that it is constantly being meddled with by uninformed politicians,
top heavy with management and that the funding could easily be much more effectively spent.
My own experience of it is that the operational staff are without peers in the way they treat the
patients.

Back up the original before using this one.

Orbx regions, night lighting control panel

I don't think that there is a potential conflict in Europe,
so no switch is required.
