    WF Scenery VHHH no 3rd runway

    in Prepar3D

    Posted

    So I did a full uninstall and manually deleted the xml file in SODE-Folder and did a reinstall via Orbx central and that seems to have solved the problem.

    Can't really understand what the difference could be, as I am still on verison 1.2, but as long as it's fixed :)

    Thanks for the help.

    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? 

    Hi Ian

     

    I bought directly from Orbx and downloaded the file via Orbx central, so there in no option for me to check for a patch or something. I also try to verify the files within Orbx central, but everything seems to up to date.  So I assume Orbx should make sure here, that the patch is ready within there files structure.

     

    Also tried to email the developer, but no respone so far :(

    WF Scenery VHHH no 3rd runway

    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

    Hello Nick

     

    I did some more testing. I was able to install all new ORBX products without a problem. So it looks now, that the problem seems to come from the combination of Microsoft Office and RAAS from FS2Crew. Somehow this two seem not to get along very well :-)

     

    So from the ORBX side the topic can be closed and I can confirm that the problem was not at all an ORBX problem. And I remember for myself, never install 2 softwares after each other without a double check if P3D is still performing.

    Thank you anyway for your much appreciated support.

    Hello Nick

     

    As I said earlier, I already tried the Delete Generated Files without any success.

    I did now a windows system restore prior to the ORBX installation and my sim came back to a normal start.

    Yes ORBX does use .dll files. At least I have them under AppData\Local\Orbx\FTXCentral\v3.3.1.4\Orbx_ObjectFlow_x64_PRE43.dll

     

    I am trying now out further what actually did cause this strange behavior. I see a possibility that the problem could also be connected with the newly installaed MS  Office 2016 Home&Business. I don't see the connection from the sim to office yet, but it might be an option.

    Good morning guys

     

    Thank you for your replies. Well I am not agreeing with you on the point that it is not an ORBX problem. I had a perfect working sim and then I installed the 6 ORBX products and since then my sim does not start anymore. I haven't touched anything else on my flightsim drive. The only other thing I did was installing Microsoft Office on an other drive. I had similar problems once before when I got stuck on the splash screen, this also came up after I used FTX Central. So I am pretty sure that the ORBX installation has screwed up one or more files in my flight sim directory.

     

    I always keep an backup of my last working scenery.cfg, so I tried this and the problem is still there. So the problem is not in the scenery.cfg I also already tried the "Delete Generated Files" also this did not sort the problem. However it also didn't help in the passed when I got stuck on the splash screen.

     

    What I read from google that this mistaskes is most probably by a faulty .dll file. I tired the option Doug was suggesting. Once I start the sim does start to Generating scnery file indexes as you would expect. But in task manager it still sits in the background process and does not start as an App.And it will get stuck at generating scenery files indexes at 98%.

     

    What I tried as well. I desktoped the User/Documents/P3D/Add-ons folder. When i start the sim then I does come up as an App. It asks me then if you want to active my add-ons again. I tried both ways, all yes or all no, still can't get a good start so far.

    Hello again

     

    i tried that as well. I even took all the folders from Documents / Add-Ons out without any improvement.

     

    What i found out, if i delete my add-on.cfg then the sim comes back to App (away from background process) for a moment. But still doesn‘t start.

     

    Is there any support from ORBX available at all? Which files are effected by your installation?

    Hi there

     

    I used the Halloween sale and got myself

     

    - open LC South America

    - NA Southern California

    - USMV Monument valley

    - ESNQ Kiruna

    - LDPL Pula

    -KPSP Palm Springs

     

    Installation was fine via FTX Central as always. After installing I wanted to have a go and check my new beauties out in the sim. However my sim does not start anymore. It passes the splash screen as normal, bringts up my UT Live AI icon but then just nothing (no icon in task bar), I noticed in the task manager that P3D doesn't start as an app as normally, but as a background process.

     

    Any ideas what could have gone wrong with the installation? The Orbx products are the only thing I installed into the sim until I last worked 2 days ago.

     

    Kind regards

    Dani
