resolved Synchronize simulator
Stewart Hobson replied to Stewart Hobson's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
Hi, Doug. Thank you. Any opinion on when this function should be carried out? It sounds like it's a cure for a problematic scenery.cfg or the Add-ons.cfg. or the terrain.cfg. And will it possibly cure the terrain anomalies I mentioned in my post? Or is that the proper use of "Verify Files"? Stew -
Can someone remind me what this does and when one should do it? I'm noticing some terrain anomalies up in Alaska (PFJ or SAK) since upgrading P3D4.5 to version 4.5.14.34698. Thanks. Stew

My version was for FSX originally (in 2014), and I just ported it over to P3D. Running v4.5hf2 and it looks ok. The only difference I've noticed is that the areas between the taxiways and the runways, those areas where you saw the depressions, are not green in my version. That may be because P3D has assigned different textures to those areas. Anyway, the scenery works for me as is, so I'm going to leave it alone. There may be differences in the city of Boise itself, but I haven't checked those.

answered No Parking Spots in ORBX NA PAKT Ketchikan
Stewart Hobson replied to LZScout's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
What I and several other users of this airport have done is spawn on the runway and then use "slew" to move the airplane to where you want to spawn next time, then save the scenario. Any fixes that have been attempted in the past have been defeated by P3D in not recognizing the "old" parking spaces which were available in FSX. -
Thanks for this valuable information, Louis. Cheers!

I have previously run the auto configuration tool and subsequently have run the tool manually to correct those airports added after the auto config tool was run, and saved all the corrections to a profile. Will that profile be saved when the new Vector is installed, or will I have to run the auto AEC again, thus losing that profile which was saved previously?

There is a FreeMesh available--don't know the details, but several folks here use it and haven't had any issues. At any rate, NorCal has its own mesh, so I can't say what might be the problem. Also, it's not reasonable to suppose the four Orbx products you have mentioned are somehow in conflict with each other, so there is a conflict elsewhere, I would guess.

useful tip Orbx Freeware Airport Packs

Thanks for the tip, Sherm. You are correct--these two spreadsheets are easily saved as pdf files. Cheers! Stew -

FYI, the airport designation is correct in the release announcement, however. Stew -
useful tip Orbx Freeware Airport Packs
Stewart Hobson replied to woodhick803's topic in Orbx Freeware Support Forum
No problem, Larry. Thanks again for all your work on the freeware airports. It's most appreciated. Some of those out-of-the-way little airports would ordinarily escape any notice were it not for the freeware packs. Thanks again! Stew -
useful tip Orbx Freeware Airport Packs
Stewart Hobson replied to woodhick803's topic in Orbx Freeware Support Forum
@woodhick803 and Larry Isenor: Just a heads-up fellas. I'm in the process of adding the 04/19 Update to my Google Earth kmz library and have discovered that Carlyle Airport's designator should be CJQ3, not CJQ5, which is Arnes Airport next door in Alberta. Cheers! Love these freeware airports, btw! Stew -
resolved P3Dv4 going to background process
Stewart Hobson replied to Swissdani's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
Thanks, Sumdger, that's good to know. My SimStarter NG allows disabling any add-on.xml entry--it's difficult to know what additional software folks might have that would allow manipulating such add-ons. Still, I can't imagine how UT Live has anything to do with the op's issue. But anything is possible. -
resolved P3Dv4 going to background process
Stewart Hobson replied to Swissdani's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
Smudger, Probably not. The program is activated via an add-on.xml entry, unless you somehow deactivate it. Besides, I very much doubt UT Live is the culprit--it's fairly benign in its interaction with the sim. -
resolved P3Dv4 going to background process
Stewart Hobson replied to Swissdani's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
Sorry, Dani, I can't be of more help, since this has worked for me and I haven't had to try something else to get P3D to start. I will defer to someone else who might have a better idea what's going on. Stew -
resolved P3Dv4 going to background process
Stewart Hobson replied to Swissdani's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
I've had this happen a couple of times myself. Turning off the computer, then turning it on again and starting P3D fresh usually solves the problem. Good luck! -
Thanks, Scott. I missed the fact that I had already transferred the product and re-installed it with FTX Central.

Doug, The transfer procedure isn't working. Perhaps the airfield isn't ready to be made an Orbx airfield? Stew Edit to add: KMBS isn't ready to transfer either, for those who might be wondering.
