  1. That is correct, there is no new news, and when there is it will be shared. There is nothing "bizarre" or "telling" about it. The situation is exactly as Anna stated. Feel free to question its fruition all you like, that is your personal choice.

  2. Hi Tom

     

    To get rid of the cartoon trees, Please Untick the “Dynamic 3D Autogen Vegetation” option in the P3D settings Options/World, then restart your sim.

     

    The first image below is with TE Netherlands HD install over your city with the Jumbo store in sight.

     

    The second image is of the exact same location without TE Netherlands installed.

  3. Hi

     

    The memory error you are getting is a common issue with FSX and is called an OOM (Out Of Memory) and has nothing to do with the physical memory RAM you have installed in your system, rather it is referring to a memory type called VAS (Virtual Address Space) which means that FSX is a 32bit program and can only make use of 3-4gb of memory and with high powered PC's using higher settings and more complex addons it uses up this 3-4gb extremely fast and produces the error...it is a decades old issue that you will be able to learn more about by doing a google search using a criteria for example "FSX OOM". The new version simulators are now 64 bit programs and do not have these issues anymore.

  4. Hi Tom

     

    If you still can not find the folders, you may need to adjust your windows folder options settings as shown in the below attached image.

     

    Please type in the windows search box "Folder Options"

     

    Then open the File Explorer Options.

     

    Then click on the "View" tab.

     

    Then select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"

     

    Then click on Apply and OK.

  5. Hi Dean

     

    The TE products are photo based scenery and will always over ride land class scenery regardless of scenery library priority, so it does not matter.

     

    To get rid of the bright lime green trees, Please Untick the “Dynamic 3D Autogen Vegetation” option in the P3D settings Options/World, then restart your sim.

    Hi Doug

     

    Thanks for the reply.

    One additional question. I have Netherlands True Earth. It states that it requires 200Gb for temporary installation. My drives are a sfollows:

     

    C:Local 63.5Gb free              E: P3D installed here, has 164Gb free out of 223Gb          F: Orbx library has 820Gb free.

     

    Must I change the temporary folder for downloads to Drive F?   If so, how do I do that?  I tried but did not work!

     

    Regards,

    Tom

     

     

    Hi Tom

     

    Yes, you will need to use your F: drive for your temp folder location. To do this, first create a new folder on your F: drive and call it TEMP, then open Orbx Central and go to Settings\Downloader and for "Temporary Location" click on "Edit" and navigate to your new folder and then click on select folder as in the example image below of mine.

  7. Hi

     

    Your P3D E:\ drive is not large enough to install very many Orbx products, so as Smudger suggests, you will need to create a library in a location such as your F:\ drive, hopefully it has tons more space.

     

    In Orbx Central, you will also need to go to settings\downloader and move the windows temp folder to a location with more space than what is on your C:\ drive, as Orbx products are downloaded and unzipped to your C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp folder and sometimes need up to 3x their install size before they get installed to the simulator location, then after the install is complete, they are removed from your C:\ drive. You can move the Temp folder to a drive with more space using the option in Orbx Central settings\downloader.

     

    Also, make sure, before you close Orbx Central after you create your libraries, to got to settings\help and run the sync simulator function, this will create the "connection between the Orbx scenery files and the simulator".
