Thanks Also, screenshots from outside the aircraft allow us to see the issue much better.

Hi Yes you will be able to reinstall.

Hi All of the default base layers are mandatory for the simulator do display scenery. below is the list. There are actually 32 default named layers, that yes, could be unchecked\deactivated for various reasons, but could also cause anomalies. The below images are from your above posted scenery.cfg. 32 Default Named Layers Mandatory Numbered Base Layers

Hi, welcome to the forums After you disabled your shader addons, did you delete the shaders folder and let the sim rebuild a new set on a restart of the sim?

Hi I see you have the majority of your default numbered scenery items unchecked\deactivated in your scenery library. These are mandatory and will need to be checked\activated in order for your scenery to display properly. You will also need to check\activate all the default named scenery items as well.

Hi Please post a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

Thanks Chelsea and no worries. My next thought is I noticed you have six different libraries for P3Dv5 on two different drives (listed below). Is this really necessary? I wonder if all these paths are working correctly? Would it be possible to reinstall you Orbx stuff all in one library? It is also very confusing with all the different but similar Library Titles and paths. Because my next recommendation would be to do a verify files of all your Orbx products or at least Global base, Vector, all the Open LC products, and all the Regions, so it would be nice if they were all being read from the same library location. Maybe Orbx Central or the simulator is getting confused also lol? [DiscoveryPath.0] PATH=D:\Orbx Libraries\Airports for P3dv5\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Airports for P3dv5 [DiscoveryPath.1] PATH=C:\Users\Chelsea\Orbx Main Library\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Main Library [DiscoveryPath.2] PATH=D:\Airports for P3D\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Airports for P3D [DiscoveryPath.4] PATH=D:\Orbx Airports for P3D\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Orbx Airports for P3D [DiscoveryPath.5] PATH=C:\Orbx Central Library\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Orbx Central Library [DiscoveryPath.6] PATH=D:\Orbx P3D\p3dv5 TITLE=Orbx Orbx P3D

Ok thanks Please confirm you have moved Objectflow from the C:\users file structure. Then, lets delete the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5. Then restart the sim to have them rebuilt. Then open Orbx Central and go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function. Then close Orbx Central and retest the sim for Objectflow installation.

Hi Where is your Orbx ObjectFlow installed? If it is in the C:\users\name file structure, please uninstall from there and create a new library in a location outside the Windows file structure such as C:\Orbx...then reinstall it to the new location. Also be sure to run your PC and simulator as administrator.

Thanks Chelsea I wish you could take screenshots from outside the airplane without the massive zoom factor, is that the nose of the aircraft protruding from the bottom of the picture? I can still see very little in your screenshots, they are horrible to try and diagnose anything with. For the most part, all I can see is the nose of the aircraft, some tarmac and sky. The only reason I asked if you tried the sim as a fresh default without anything added, is to verify that these issues are not being caused by a corrupt P3Dv5 install. Then if all is well with the default install, you could start adding one by one to find the culprit. I also see you have a library located at C:\Users\Chelsea\Orbx Main Library\p3dv5\.....I would uninstall the Orbx ObjectFlow and Global TerraFlora v2 from this location and create a new library that is not in the C:\Users\Chelsea\ file structure and then reinstall Orbx ObjectFlow and Global TerraFlora v2 to this new location. There have been many cases of Windows permission issues when using the C:\Users\ file structure.

Ya I don't know how you are accomplishing that, I can't replicate the elevation issues if I tried. The CYYC screenshot didn't make it above, but I would like to see it. So, Please post again a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

Hi Jerry Yes it will need its own install of products as P3Dv4 files are no longer compatible with P3Dv5.

Hi My Nvidia settings are all at default, I don't do anything with them. Please post again a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5. Also, KELN and W04 are default P3D airports, so have you had a look at them with just a clean install of P3Dv5 without anything added?

Hi Milan I will ask him for you.

Hi Jerry Please restart your PC, and check Orbx Central again, the dropdown menu will appear where you see the Prepar3Dv4 in top middle.

Hi Jerry After you have installed P3Dv5.3, you will need to run it at least once up to the default flight, then close the sim. Then open Orbx Central and select the sim from the drop down menu. Then click on "My Products" Only the products that are compatible with v5 that you own will show in the list. You will then need to install them into a location of your choosing.

Hi, welcome to the forums First please check that your antivirus has not quarantined the Central Worker. Then you can go to settings\help and open the user guide and check in the troubleshooting section for steps regarding that error message.

KELN two screenshots below and no issues. Two below screenshots of W04 had floating buildings when I arrived from KELN, but no sunken aircraft issues. So I unchecked\deactivated my TE Washington and no more floating buildings. I then reactivated TE Washington and still no more floating buildings.

Hi Thanks, and your above process sounds good. The other issue I am having is viewing your screenshots properly, they are too small and I have not had any success enlarging them. It does not sound like a settings thing but I have attached images below of mine. I will also post a screenshot of KELN in my next post.

Hi Louis Is this the one you are looking for?

Hi Lets ask @Luca B

Hi Have you tried it with the aircraft windshield defrost turned on, and the blower fan on Hi? They work fine on my JF Turbo Arrow. Although you may still have airframe icing to deal with.

Hi You can also try a free VPN, this has been successful for many, and if it does work for you, it would confirm that Orbx servers are not the issue.
