Hi Juergen
Thanks for all the info.
Objectflow has not been a problem for anyone else, when it is properly installed and working. It is also required, but could serve different functions for each individual Orbx product.
So, I would try now by unchecking/deactivating all your non Orbx 3rd party items in both your scenery library and the add-ons menu.
I would also do a verify files of all Orbx products from within Orbx Central.

Hi Fabian
If you have deactivated all five Vector entries, that is the same as Vector being uninstalled.
Is your Vector installed in an external library or in the root simulator folder?

Hi, I have merged your topics.
Be sure you are using the Modern flight mode setting in MSFS and not the Legacy mode.

Thanks Rune, and I love your strategy!

Hi Rolf
Sorry, I have no idea yet, but have you asked at the Volanta Discord channel as well?

Thanks Juergen, you are very welcome!
All your files look good now.
So are you saying that P3D crashes while building the data base? If so, then try again after first a cut and paste the existing scenery,cfg to the desktop. Also, if there are an Oldscenery.cfg and a Newscenery.cfg in the same location, I would also move them to desktop or just delete them.
Then start the sim again and let it try another rebuild of the scenery.cfg.
If that still doesn't work, then go to the P3D root folder and locate the "Delete Generated files" exe shortcut and run it. You will then need to run the sync simulator function again in Orbx Central, and also all your P3D settings will be back to default and need to be reset by you.

If you open the products folder in the community folder do you see the two separate folders then? If so, it should be installed already?
I haven't had a chance yet too go fly there and check the in sim view.
We can also ask @Ed Correia

I am not quite sure what you mean, when you say: ".... open up the scenery library and delete all of the Orbx items (this will not delete the products from the folder, it will only prevent P3D from seeing them temporarily)."
Hi Juergen
I meant for you to select each Orbx item in the scenery library individually and delete them one at a time until they are all gone before you select OK, that way the rest of the scenery.cfg would remain intact.
But we can most certainly use the scenery.cfg that you posted last, it looks good and so far free of any Orbx.
The next step would be to run the repair function for P3Dv5 by clicking on the Setup exe from the main P3D download pictured below.
Then run and test the simulator without any Orbx but using the last scenery.cfg file you posted above.
Then if all seems well, close the sim.
Then open Orbx Central and install Orbx Objectflow. Let it install to your existing library of G:\Orbx LIBRARY\p3dv5. Select it if it gives you a choose.
Then go to settings\Insertion Point and select your EDVK Kassal as the lowest non Orbx 3rd party entry using the image below as a guide.
Then go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function, and wait for the green success banner.
Then close Orbx Central and fire up the simulator and enable the huge list of Orbx add-ons.

Hi, welcome to the forums
If you open Orbx Central and select the SS3D Hong Kong City Times product, then click on the blue open user guide button, I believe you will find the instructions there.

Thanks Juergen
Your scenery install is in extreme disarray and I believe your troubles are not limited to Orbx Objectflow, although I can not find any reference to it in your attached files.
I suspect a large portion of the problem is your use of the Lorby tool, not that there is anything wrong with the tool, but more so maybe how it is being used. I do not use it so I can not advise on it's use.
All of your Orbx items seem to be installed to an external library, but yet somehow have been manually edited to your scenery.cfg (internal library)file instead of automatically added to your add-ons.cfg (external library)which is empty, this is a completely incorrect method of install and it is not possible for Orbx Central to do this.
The first step to a possible repair would be to fire up the simulator, open up the scenery library and delete all of the Orbx items (this will not delete the products from the folder, it will only prevent P3D from seeing them temporarily). Please do not touch the Lorby tool while we are trying to help you with this.
Do not open Orbx Central at this time.
Then, restart the simulator and let it rebuild the scenery.cfg file.
Then shut down the simulator and repost a copy of the three above files please.

Thanks
What happens if you just uncheck/deactivate the Vector entries in your scenery library or P3D addons menu?
-
Hi Fabian
Some screenshots with the coordinates from the Shift+Z keys might be helpful.
I would also ask at Tropical Sim support, as its more likely someone there has both Vector and TIST installed together.

I have many of your products for FSX if I want to migrate to prepar3D, do I have to buy everything again?

Hi
No, as stated above, you do not need to purchase them again.

Hi Juergen
Please post 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.
Please note: Do not open the files and copy and paste the contents, just attach the files.

Hi
I am assuming this is based on X Plane11? So I will move to the X Plane11 support forum.

Hi Mark
There are too many differences between the two simulators now, you could try, but you will eventually run into issues.
-
Hi
So you would need to install a 64bit version of W7?

Thanks Jan, good news.

Hi
Where is your temp folder location, is it in the default windows location, or have you moved it?
And, how much free disk space is on the drive where the temp folder is located?
-
Thanks Jan
Please go to settings\downloader and clear the temp location.
Then go to the location you designated for backups and delete the products folder.
Then go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function.
Then try reinstalling.

Hi
As John suggests, if you pause the sim and the scenery loads, than this is a case of the PC not able to keep up with what is being asked of it.
Maybe it's just a case of your HDD needing a good named derag? Please see my comments in the below topic.
