    Is there a way to print out a list of what we have?  I just would like a list of airports that I own.  It would make it easier to decide which airport I want to fly out of.

     

    Hi

     

    You could also log into your Orbx Direct account and click on "Account" to see the list of your products and right click on the screen and select print, and it will print the entire list, not just what is on the screen.

    And i think this is an Orbx problem.

     

    Hi

    You can disable "Open LC NA, SCA, Trees HD, Terraflora V2 and Building HD" in your scenery library or addons menu by simply unchecking/deactivating them for your test to determine if it is Orbx related. Then you will have only FT, BM and default products activated to see what happens. Orbx Global base can not deactivate because it is a replacement of the default textures, and is highly unlikely to be the culprit.

     

    You could also 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.

    Is P3DV4 dead

    Hi Rod

     

    The straight to the point answer would be, no, it is not dead.

     

    But this topic subject will be dead very quick here, as soon as the my sim is better than yours debates start. So I might as well lock it now.

     

    So it would be best please to move your inquiry to a different FS forum. :)

    Stuck on Downloading and installing

    in Orbx Central Support Forum

    Hi Joe

     

    200gb of free space is probably not going to be enough, the installed product is about 130gb, and the install process usually needs double that or more to extract and install. You will probably need closer to 300gb, then of course the the temp folder will be cleared after the successful install to free up 100+ gb.

    HELP: Missing Runway and Taxiways Textures

    in PREPAR3D® V5.x Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi, welcome to the forums

     

    Which airport is this in your image please?

     

    I also see your Objectflow is installed under the "Users" Windows file structure which is also known to prevent it from working due to Windows permissions issues.

     

    So first, I would uninstall Objectflow from it's current location and then create a new library outside the "Users" Windows file structure, such as, C:\ Orbx P3Dv5, using the create a library function found in Orbx Central under settings/Libraries. Then reinstall Objectflow to the new location.

     

    I also notice the lime green speed trees in your image. If you would like to get rid of them, Untick the “Dynamic 3D Autogen Vegetation” option in the P3D settings Options/World, then restart your sim.

     

     

    Key West International Crashes MSFS

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum

    Thanks David

     

    You are the only one that has zeroed in on Key West as the culprit, but many others have the same CTD issue but are able to zero in on other products causing it. 

     

    I would like to ask you to please try the other part of the process in my initial response, this is not a process for troubleshooting only Orbx products, but for any products you may encounter problems with in this new simulator. It has proven to resolve many of those others issues as well.

     

    1. Navigate to WpSystem\S-1-5-21-1134115858-2033878937-1563933265-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache.

    2. Right click on the two items I have shown in the image above one at a time and select "delete".

    3. Leave only the Key West product in the community folder.

    4. Open Orbx Central and locate the KEYW product and click on the "verify files" function.

    5. Close Orbx Central and restart the simulator and go into the General Options DATA settings and delete and turn off the rolling cache. It seems the rolling cache of the simulator will store files even if they are corrupt causing problems for many.

    6. Then load into Key West.

    Hi David

     

    There may be no update required, as we have had no other reports of anyone else having issues with KEYW.

    There is probably a conflict with one of your other addons, this is why we ask you to do these troubleshooting steps to help you.

    They are very quick easy steps, and with the mass amounts of other 3rd party addons that are and will continue to cause conflicts moving forward, it would be very handy to know how to do them.

    These troubleshooting steps have already helped many many others that prefer to keep adding to there community folders, also, there is already so much freeware available that has potential to cause conflicts.

    Hi David

     

    KEYW works fine for me after the update of the simulator, I can load straight in and no CTD's. I even have Photogrammetry turned on.

     

    Please try the below troubleshooting steps.

     

    First rename your Community folder to CommunityX.

    Then create a new Community folder and install just this one product.

    Then try again.

    If that doesn't work.

    You could also try deleting the content.xml, and the .dat files in the Scenery Indexes folder, found at (WpSystem\S-1-5-21-1134115858-2033878937-1563933265-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache) and also deleting and turning off the rolling cache.
