    WF Scenery VHHH no 3rd runway

    in Prepar3D

    Posted

    Hi guys

     

    I just bought the WF Scenery VHHH scenery today via Orbx. It was mentioned on the WF scenery website and also in FSElite that in August 2022 WF had updated the product and included the 3rd runay. However when I load the airport (installed today and also verified again) I only get a construction site and no 3rd runway.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Kind regards

    Daniel

    I bought my version elsewhere but it came with a v1.2 patch that added the new runway. Can you see this anywhere in your downloads or instructions? 

    NZQN extreme stutters on runway

    in Prepar3D

    Hello Nick,

     

    thanks for testing it on your setup! I'm sorry that I first assumed your scenery is the culprit. Today I've tested a bit more and found out even in the stock P3D scenery (completely without Orbx NZQN) I get the exact same behavior with stutters on the runway.

     

    I'd like to try if it's possible to remove the stock NZQN and only using Orbx NZQN.

    Do you know or can help me what files exactly I have to disable in the stock scenery folders of P3D to remove the default airport? Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea and talent how scenery developing works and for which file(s) I have to look to disable.

     

    Would be really thankful for help, even when it's no issue on your side.

     

    I'd like to mention and clarify again for other readers that the Orbx NZQN scenery is absolutely fine so far and it was my mistake to blame the issue on this scenery by Orbx. Sorry for that.

     

     

    ====

    EDIT:

     

    I figured out through a software called 'Airport Design Editor' that the NZQN airport is in a stock P3D .bgl-file named 'APX92480.bgl' under ...\Prepar3D v5\scenery\1106\scenery. But still have no clue how to remove this stock airport, so help would be great. :)

    I think simply deleting the stock file is no good idea because I heard these stock .bgl-files contain more than one airport usually.

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    Regards

    Just go to that folder and change that file name to APX92480.bgl.off. This is not recommended though as it may not contain just the airport and you will lose all functionality associated with that file. Be reassured that NZQN works fine with or without Orbx so it is fixable. Try a system repair in P3D?

    Buying products as a gift breaks website

    Hi, I have an issue regarding your website (orbxdirect.com). A lot of my friends have the same problem (tested). Several (if not more) tickets have been sent to you regarding this issue. Nothing has been fixed these few days and the promotion is ending today (and I was going to buy some airports, but I can't..) After trying to purchase a products (Orbx ENTO, Orbx LYNI, AmSim UGSB for MSFS) as a gift the website freezes and upon trying to reload it, comes up with error 504. VPN, deleting cookies, incognito mode or using another device or network don't help. I've talked to some of my friends in other countries and they also have this issue so it's an issue on your end. On top of this I'm unable to check out using Orbx Central (logging-in works). I am writing this here so that more people know about the problem, maybe you (Users) can help… I am really embarrassed by your attitude.

     

    it seems to be working fine here in Australia, by the way, it is the weekend...

    Now that is outstanding. Two forum members on the same bridge at the same time. Though... it was quite crowded, no wonder we did not recognize the other flight enthusiast there... :D

     

    Sorry mate, I was paying attention to the Globemaster going over me at a very low altitude, not people watching :lol:

    AI Traffic program for P3Dv5

    in General Discussion

    I'm newbie in this kind of software (AI traffic) and my questions may be dumb but need to ask anyway.

    With any of these programs will I see any aircraft with its virtual airline? Like someone connected as QFA or AAL or BAW...?

    Will I need to have these AI traffic flying everywhere (unrealistic in simulation but...) or is it possible not to?

    Tks

     

    The IAG server is temporarily down, but shall hopefully be back to normal soon. 

    The flightplans are derived from real world schedules, so you will see plenty of QFA at Sydney, AAL at Dallas Fort Worth etc, and nothing unrealistic . I have about 1400 flightplans installed but if you only fly to certain areas you can just install the flightplans that interest you.

    Hi Ian,

     

    Difficult to know exactly what to suggest but here's my experience.

     

    There is a CP option to use 2k textures for the city - using that and setting the texture resolution to medium in the sim (1024) I'm getting about 5GB out of 7.1 with the cityscape, AUv2 and Fly Tampa under circumstances where I'm getting about 4GB usage without the Cityscape (fair weather with the Bell Jetranger helicopter).

    Setting texture resolution to High (2048) in the sim I'm getting about 5.5GB with the cityscape (but at times creeping towards 6).

     

    I have an 8GB card and am using P3D v5.3.

     

    All the best,

     

    John

     

    Thanks for the advice John, that 2K option may well work.

     

    cheers

    A320 landing at NZQN

    I wonder why he did that approach - since the windsock at the end of the runway shows zilch wind - and so why did he not do a straight in 

    approach and landing - saving time and Juice ?

     

    The wind at ground level might be doing something very different to that at 2-3000ft, especially in the mountains

    P3D 4.5 move to P3D 5.2?

    in Prepar3D

    Advice please. I've been with P3D 4.5 for a while now, exclusively VR with Rift S. But I'm now being tempted by P3D 5.2 in view of all the positive comments. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has - or is - moving from 4.5 to 5.2, with Rift S...worth the move?

     

    Thanks, Don.

    I don't use VR but am also considering the move from 4.5 to 5.2 and have the same graphics card as you so shall monitor this thread with interest. I am inclined to just give it a go, without uninstalling 4.5 just yet.

    The Aussies will get this.  While getting YOCB Orchid Beach going, I discovered an "Easter Egg" in the scenery, a bloody Dingo with a baby in its mouth !!  :lol::lol:. 

    Sick sense of humour, but I did have a good laugh.

     

     

     

     

    You can't be serious, I can't believe someone put that there. I am going to have to find one myself. Have you looked around Uluru, I wonder what is there. Maybe a broken down combi on the Stuart Highway too?  :D

    Oh boy!

    I had to Googled your location and zoomed it to the maximum, and move the cursor all around to find it :o

    Interesting location.

    Now there is no doubt Orbx definitely has worldwide presence  :)

    Merry Christmas!

    Cheers

    I am not sure if Seanmo really lives there, but wasn't it something to do with Kiribati being the first place to see the new day that people moved their VPN to Kiribati to get the MSFS release first?
