[KMBS colour]

The effect files for both KMBS and KIDA have been updated to rectify this problem. I’ll check they were included in the library updates recently released.

[KBLU and 74S in P3Dv5]

Drop this file into your Orbx/FTX_NA/FTX_AA_KBLU/Scenery folder and it should reposition people at the airport.

 

I'll have this file included in the KBLU installer.

 

ORBX_KBLU_PLC_PF2_ObjectFlow.xml

 

I'll look into the issue with 74S Anacortes.

[EGLC - what are the latest new ?]

EGLC has now been updated and is currently in testing. Should be released soon.

[KRDD- too many taxi signs]

I just checked KRDD on my system and can only see one set of taxi signs as appropriate. Could you provide a screenshot or two of what you are seeing so we can investigate this further.

[Aust and NZ AI Fly Tampa Enhanced APX]

Unfortunately, the Control Panel option for the YSSY APX swap will not work when the Traffic Pack is installed via the xml Add-on method. The best advice we can offer is to go to your FlyTampa/Sydney/Scenery folder and manually deactivate the base APX (ADEX_YSSY_GL_2020.bgl) and activate the FTX one (ADEX_YSSY_GL_FTX.bgl).

[Airport ICAO Code Changes in P3D V5]

FWIW, I moved all my Orbx files from the \p3dv4 folder that Central created in my off sim Library folder, to the new \p3dv5 folder created by Central for (obviously) P3Dv5. Only the products that show up in Central are those currently updated to be v5 compatible and that happily is most of Orbx products. Even though the YSCH folder was copied over verbatim to \p3dv5 and doesn't show up in Central while awaiting update, when I set the sim to take off from YCFS, there, to my pleasure was all my beautiful Orbx YSCH Coffs scenery to fly in. I'm not complaining, I am enjoying. And I know it will be properly updated in due course.

 

 

You will need to remove the files you have copied over from V4.5 for YSCH Coffs Harbour, YPEC Aeropelican and YMUI Murray Island otherwise you will have everything duplicated at those airports with the default airport files now and then when you update those airports with the new Orbx version. New file sets have been created using the new ACIO code for each of these airports. The older file sets are not usable in P3D V5.

 

When you select YSCH or YCFS at the moment you will actually see two airports on top of one another, the Orbx YSCH and the default YCFS. Best to remove Orbx airports from V5 until they are listed as compatible. 

[Airport ICAO Code Changes in P3D V5]

Lockheed Martin updated many airports to their current ICAO code in P3D V5. We did request a list of these airports but they were unable to provide that information.

 

We are aware of a few but without going through all 24,000 or so default airports, the task of identifying them all was a little beyond us in the short term. We will therefore be updating any of these changed ICAO codes as they are discovered and would request your help in this regard.

 

Could you please post any code changes you identify to this thread and we will track them from here. I will make it a sticky.

 

I'll start the list with a few we are aware of and have updated:

YPEC - YLMQ     Lake Macquarie Airport

YSCH - YCFS     Coffs Harbour Airport

YMUI - YMAE    Murray Island Airport

 

61B - KBVU     Boulder City Municipal Airport

[Orbx buildings repeating roof texture]

You can fix this by returning the problematic roof textures to their defaults. Download and copy the 7 files in the attached zip into your main P3D Texture folder. This will be fine for both P3D V4.5 and V5.

If you have installed Buildings HD to an Orbx Central Library, copy the files to

Your Orbx Central scenery library\p3dv5\Global Buildings HD\Orbx\Scripts\BuildingsHD\Core\Texture

 

I will alert the Orbx Central guys to this issue.

[LOWI AI traffic landing on the grass]

Check that Traffic 360 does not have it’s own APX file for LOWI which may be overriding the Orbx one.

 

The Orbx APX takes the grass runway out of play for AI traffic and brings ILS flights in on a curved approach through the valleys for a safe touch down on the main runway from either direction. If your AI flights are approaching straight in, that would be a sure sign there is another APX file somewhere on your system.
