SOLVED. I have to apologize. I realized hunch as to what had happened here. It was a very simple thing that I should have suspected before now. What I did was, I carelessly (accidently, whatever) moved my entire "Orbx Library" into another folder located just above, rendering Orbx Library to assume I had no Products installed. While browsing File Explorer I moused (moved) the Orbx folder into another folder, not realizing the error of my ways. Again, sorry for all the commotion over this. If you wish Please delete this Post. It is totally irrelevant. Regards, Tom

Oh, Ok I get that. Then I guess it is still a mystery as to why my Orbx installations disappeared from my drive. No matter, I am in the process of reinstalling right now anyway. Regards

Can someone explain to me the benefit of having Orbx Central backup my installed products? The reason I ask is because all the backup folders I have are, I assume, the files necessary for re-installing the Products. That is fine, but there is no means of triggering a reinstall within Orbx Central. I do not see an "executable" within the backup folders, nor is there a click spot to start a reinstall. I am in the process of manually (starting over) re-installing all my products after doing just that almost a couple of weeks ago. This is turning out to be a Long Process, as the downloads and installations are very slow (probably busy servers or something of that nature). Here is hoping my installation doesn't disappear again into the blue. I do not have the confidence in the "Orbx Central" app that I am used to. Regards, T

I got a feeling there is no way around this. so, I am going to begin reinstalling everything and not use the "backup option" this time... how do we know this will not happen again? Regards

...this being a so called "Backup", there must be a way to restore the files into my original folder?

Looks to me like the backup has come up as a useless tool for me. No favours.

...just noticed as well, some folders in the backup have files, some do not. So that means I have to reinstall quite a bit to get back to where I was.

I just went into Orbx Central and clicked on "My Products" and they have disappeared. I know I have the "Backup" option ticked in settings and that the Product files have been moved into the D:\Orbx Products\Central\Backup folder. But what puzzles me is my Library folder I had everything in here, D:\Orbx P3Dv5 has been removed from my drive. It is probably an easy fix, but I am not sure I like the fact that Orbx central is manipulating folders that I have assigned on my computer. I manually added the folder, D:\Orbx P3Dv5 back and copied the product files back into this folder and Orbx Central still does not recognize my installed Products. Any ideas how I can correct this or do I have to re-install everything? As far as I know I did not carry out this action myself. I am puzzled. Regards, Tom

Hi Doug, I think that may have fixed it. I had uninstalled one airport, "AYPY" and it is now reinstalling. I also clicked on verify for GLOBAL Base Pack and it is running now. So it looks like everything is back to normal. Thanks so much for your support and have a great Holiday Season. Regards, Tom

I originally installed the Client & scenery re: P3Dv5.3HF1. Let me retry that now.

It says the simulator was successfully "Synced". But I still get the ERROR message.

Thanks Doug, I have already done that, but will try again and report back. Appreciate the fast response to this. Regards, Tom

I just did a Install for P3Dv5.3 HF1 (Client & Scenery) and i was attempting to "Verify" all my "Global" Installs. In fact when I click on "Verify Files" I get this message: ERROR: It appears that your terrain.cfg is corrupt or missing. You may need to launch or reinstall the simulator to regenerate it. I deleted the terrain.cfg file and had the sim rebuild it. I still get the ERROR message. Do I have to uninstall and then reinstall everything to fix this? Regards, Tom

Thanks Ed, I reinstalled and I have the same or similar file locations as yours now. The only difference is my "REX AccuSeason" (Uppercase named folder) shows up in D:\MSFS Orbx\msfs\REX AccuSeason as well as here C:\Users\rough\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\REX AccuSeason & C:\Users\rough\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\rex_accuseason (Lower case named folder). So, REX AccuSeason & rex_accuseason Folders are both in my Community folder. That seems strange to me. But it seems to be working. Thanks again for your time. Tom
