This needs to go into the x-plane forum not here at the Community Screenshots. I have looked at your scenery_packs and it is all incorrectly layered, but I will assist when you post this to the correct form please. Thanks

I think the marina/boats freeware adds to the detail. The rest of course is MSFS

You don't have to type in the coordinates, just select them from Google Maps and then Control+V to copy them into the Search bar Here i have randomly chosen a spot in Columbia Click on the bottom where the coordiantes are shown And you get this Now just highlight the top left (ringed in Red) and then in the search bar in MSFS just use Control V. and it will copy the coordinates

Thanks to all who appreciated the pics. Yes I thought I would choose an area not really covered much. The boats are are freeware worldwide marina addon, but I admit the boats around the pier are somewhat excessive and probably not realistic, but heh ho!!

There were parts of that question answered in the interview. Austin stated that he always wants any new version of XP to be at least one back version compatible. There was also discussion about the new water feature and how Orbx are trying to resolve the new aspects of water. Trees are also different in XP12 i believe. No one can give a statement that Orbx addons will be compatible with XP12 until it is released. What is clear is that Orbx are working with Laminar on XP12.

There were some details in this link: Unsure if it is the same as the link BradB gave.

Completely unfair Iain. That is a real world photo @iliasr congrats. great shot and so realistic

In Orbx Central click on the Discover option on the top toolbar.

A couple of years ago I wrote a tip about installing True Earth addons. It related to installing into XP as that is the Sim I am responsible for in regard to Support queries. In that piece I mentioned the importance of potentially relocating your Temp folder as that is the folder that the initial download goes into and will temporarily start to fill your hard drive. This can cause issues of lack of free space which in turn can cause an unsuccessful installation. Now we have MSFS and the largest files to download are currently Mesh files as there are no True Earth addons. When we download we are downloading many, many zipped files in order to save bandwidth. These have to be unzipped in order to install. You may have super fast broadband which will deal with the actual download, but the Unzipping/Extracting can take quite a while. This is depending on your PC specs but mainly on your disks read/write speed. So, the best solution is to place your Temp folder on the drive that has plenty of space but also consider putting it on to the fastest drive where possible. The folder is emptied at the end of the installation so all free space is recovered. You will be surprised how much of a difference in installation time it can make.

This is how the Hungarian fire fighting team dealt with fires. The vid also gives a much greater impression of the effects of the smoke causing daytime to be like a dark night and also the sheer noise caused by the well head pressure. Many fires sounded like Concorde was taking off in your back yard

Timeline: August 1990 I returned to Baghdad where I was working and was detained as a hostage for 4.5months December 11th ( I think) released as a hostage and flew back to UK. January 16th 1991 Desert Storm operation commences February 28th 1991 Cease fire declared. 2nd March flew to Saudi to organise purchase of 2nd hand ARAMCO ( the Saudi Oil Company) pickup trucks and essential provisions to take to Kuwait for the few company workers who had arrived in Kuwait City around 3rd march. Left Saudi Arabia leading a convoy of 5-6 pickups and drove to the Kuwait border where the vison of apocalypse became evident. Daytime but all the thick arid smoke from 700+ oil well fires turned day to night. After arrival, got to work in the firefighter support section where we assisted in supporting the eventual 27 firefighting teams. Unforgettable experience but paying for it health wise in my senior years. I just thought some maybe interested also in the linked video made by the company I worked for and available on Youtube here:

I respectfully suggest that if your "issue" is with an installed addon or problems trying to install then you raise a support ticket. If you question is a "general" one for example "will this airport addon work with this Orbx scenery", or similar then you can ask that type of question in this General Discussion forum where all our members can get involved. I would regard that as a pre-purchase enquiry rather than a technical Support issue.

There have been occasions where disabling the Asobo LOWI has been effective in removing a runway bump that some people were experiencing when using the Orbx LOWI addon.

Please use Orbx Central to uninstall TEGB South. Now go and Clear Temp folder and remove Backup as advised in the instructions from the email you get and quoted in your first post. Then open Orbx Central/settings/downloader and check that the disk drive setting under "Concurrency" is correct for your set up and then change the "Conversions" setting to Moderate or Low. The attached pics how you what is required: Restart your PC (don't choose Shutdown, but choose Restart) Now try installing TEGB South again via Orbx central. This process can take up to an hour depending on your PC specs so please let it run its course. Report back when installed.

@Steve Raycraft what response have you had please?

Thanks Sentry11

Have you run the Verify Files option for TE SoCal? If not please do so. Is your World objects set to max in XP11? If not please set to Max. @Sentry11 are you suggesting an installation error of TE SoCal?

No Problem

To my knowledge there are no plans but we can check with @Ed Correia about any planned updates to TE addons.

No Problem You have not answered my 2 questions so please do so. I have opened one of the logs you attached so far and there are references to missing 3rd party libraries like 3D people etc. Anyway, please answer my 2 questions and then I can decide what we need to do. Thanks

I also suggest that prior ot the update you rename your Community folder to Community.x so that it preserves all your existing addons negating the need to reinstall all the addons you have.

Thanks Ed

A couple of points I wish to raise with you. X-Organiser will change the scenery_packs.ini every time you use it to enable or disable a scenery fie. That is why the scenery_packs are never layered the same when you look at them after a flight. That is down to X-Organiser and nothing to do with the Orbx Central/"Enable Automatic Layering". The automatic layering is done when you first install the addon and in this case it was TE SoCal. I don't think Orbx sells the DD Washington XP addon, but you can correct me if I am wrong. The installation of that addon was not done by Orbx Central but by the installer that came with DD Washington XP. I have no knowledge of where these 2 files are supposed to be layered in the scenery_packs so I have placed them just after the True Earth addons DD Washington XP Layer1 DD Washington XP Layer2 The DD Washington mesh file is placed correctly. The attached rearranged scenery_packs will only be useable once if you use X-Organiser. When you use XO and finish a flight where you have disabled some addons, does XO enable the disabled addons again? I know nothing about XO as I explained but when a customer sends me a pic of a problem or submits a scenery_packs for me to look at I can immediately see if they use an organiser, as was observed by me in your scenery_packs. If your addons are correctly layered in the scenery_packs then I personally feel that no more "organising" is required. Many people find XO a really useful tool to have Here is your rearranged scenery_packs file. I leave the decision about the need for any organiser up to you. scenery_packs.ini
