Bolzano to Locher and back is a  favourite short flight of mine 

Any thing making this flight more realistic is a great step forward for me

I was too late taking up this offer so the scarecrows close the runway

Anyway I can remedy this-does buying an other Parrallel 42 airstrip remove the Halloween monsters?

[Orbx Central]

Great to see XPlane 12 appear in my Orbx Central 

Made my first purchase and install

Well done Orbx!

[Orbx Central & X-Plane 12?]

Nick-I am not in a rush for my part 

Enjoying trying X Plane 12

Would I be right in thinking that in due course Orbx scenery will be come available for X Plane 12 and Orbx Central will find the new sim?

Patience is required

Yes it is checked but reading one of your old posts on this problem you said to go to Help in Settings and use the Sync option 

All is now good !

Thanks for your help

Object Flow is installed in a Main Library on another hard disc as it cannot be installed directly into P3Dv5

Should this be a problem?

xxd09

[Vernonia]

I have latest P3Dv5 version and Win11

l used to get parked planes people long grass on field butterflies etc but no longer 

It is as though one “library “ is missing 

Anything  I could try?

PS I particularly miss the horse at Beto airstrip!

Nick- can I use the same procedure for installing this update as you detailed so well for installing a P3D Hotfix?

Thanks for that

It was the Rain gauge in my Sibwings An2 that sorted it for P3Dv5

[Correct order of Orbx TE GB entries in scenery_packs.ini]

Can I amplify my previous post 

I use prefixes ie “a” for airports to order scenery in XPlane 

Works well but not for Orbx because prefixes mean FTX Central cannot see the Orbx files properly 

In fact I use “a” for Orbx airports and “v” for mesh,orthos and everything else Orbx (Orbx own internal ordering system seems to place these files in the right order)

Everything stays in proper place and I can fly without worrying 

Not a satisfactory set up and I have to keep an eye for updates 

Any other way I could try-am I missing something?

[Correct order of Orbx TE GB entries in scenery_packs.ini]

Any thoughts on Thomas Rasmussen,s system for ordering scenery files in X-Plane by the use of prefixes ie “a “ for airports etc

Prefixes won’t work.with Orbx as FSX Central cannot see them for updates etc

Any compromises? Work arounds?

Is it a sensible system?

xxd09

[Correct order of Orbx TE GB entries in scenery_packs.ini]

I too am wrestling through this Scenery placement  "thing"

I found the Rasmussen videos very useful and adopted his ideas-a,b,c, to z,zz,zzz etc for placing Scenery Files

It works! but if adopted for Orbx -FTX Central cannot see the Orbx entries.

I compromised and removed all prefixes from all Orbx files and let them fall where they may

Orbx appears to have a alphabetical system operating within its own scenery Files and they all went into the proper order

So far so good-initial flights OK

Ini file attatched

Best of both worlds?

Hi All

Got my Ikarus C42a v1.10 safely into P3Dv4

Copied Ikarus file from Sim Objects/Aircraft in P3Dv3.4 directly into P3Dv4 equivalent 

All good

xxd09

PS Now when I run my P3Dv3.4 it tells me I have multiple objects with same name

Sorted by adding the figure 1 to first line of the aircraft cfg file(both models)

I did the same with RealAir planes

[Validation Thread]

I just loaded Orbx scenery for Pacific North West and clicked on FTX Central to load scenery into Microsoft FSX and got the message-"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. Cannot find a part of path C\Program Files(+86)Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Sims X\Orbx\Scripts\Backup\default xml

Can anybody help?
