  1. Hi Marcus, you are, without doubt, a genius, and a very helpful genius too! I simply searched the Orbx Community Forum for ESSA and Objectflow, a couple of uninstalls and reinstalls later and all is beautiful! Thanks for the rapid response. Excellent. Walter
  2. Hi, last night I discovered that I had a load of ORBs, I never knew that they existed nor what they were. I was so excited that I used them to 'purchase' ESSA Arlanda without looking at the product's prerequisites, a really stupid move on my behalf. ( I understand the refund policy rightly doesn't allow for stupidity) The configuration options in ESSA however seem to allow use with its neighbour EU Norway (which I have) even though the store description does not. Would loading ESSA with EU Norway and not Global BASE produce the following situations, or am I doing something else wrong? Flat images of aircraft parked at stands and taxiing on taxiways, all statics etc options are OFF. I use P3DV5.4. Thanks Walter
  3. Nick, thank you for that. For the safety of all those innocents in the University and Business Park I suppose I should remove any AI traffic in or out of EGTH (Hatfield). I will just practice Touch and Go's on my own at Old Warden - at least give the maintenance people there a reason to cut the grass and maintain the runway. Thanks Walter
  4. Hi, whenever I want to fly around an area or fly to an airfield, I normally look at the airfields on the flight plan and around that destination and put some AI Traffic in some of them, just to show some aircraft in the skies at low-ish levels and to complicate landings and takeoffs for myself a little at my origin and destination - just a few GA aircraft doing touch-and-go's. On some airfields there is not the necessary taxiway and/or parking spot provision to facilitate this. I am well used to popping in to those airfield files using ADE and constructing the bare necessities to get AI working. So, when I bought Orbx Old Warden at the weekend I created AI Traffic to touch-and-go there. None showed up. So I went in to ADE and did what I normally do - created the taxiways, runway and parking spots there to get the AI working, and it looks fine. Still no AI Working. So I have an airfield that looks very well, has loads of stationary aircraft there, but I am there on my own with no other traffic movement. It gets lonely... This caused me some confusion - this methodology of mine normally works - so I have pored over the problem for some hours now, without seeing any problem with the work I have done on the airfield. What I did find though, on the map within P3Dv3, was a second airfield called EGTH, Hatfeild Private (spelt that way). It is south of Luton and Panshanger, between Bovingdon and Brookmans Park VORs. I am wondering if this airfield is causing my AI to go missing. Can anyone else see this airfield on their map? I cannot go to it in the sim, it doesn't come up as an option, it just appears on the map. If anyone has any idea if this is actually the problem, or any solution to it, like renaming or deleting the second airfield, or even renaming Orbx Old Warden to EGT1 or the like, I would be very grateful. I realise that the problem is not 100% concerning an Orbx product, but the Orbx product is certainly involved in my problem, and might be involved in any solution. Thanks, Walter
  5. Hi Nick, hey, twice a saviour in one day - what else can this man do? Old Warden is now as it should be. Thanks, Walter
  6. Hi Nick, since I am on a roll with solutions from you today.... any chance you have a fix for Orbx EGTH Old Warden, which is exhibiting similar problems to Compton Abbas, not loading, causing CTDs when trying to go to it or to fly near it. Thanks Walter
  7. Hi Nick, well, I have had my cup of coffee and a hot scone in Compton Abbas now, thanks to you. Your file didn't overwrite anything and I had to rename the existing file EGHA_ADEP2_TRB.BGL (as EGHA_ADEP2_TRB.BGX) in order to get it to work. I went to Bournemouth too, so that problem is also solved I travelled from Bournemouth to Compton Abbas - wow, it is very hard to find the airfield - it took a lot of experimentation and low-flying near misses to locate it, but it certainly exists! I am still not 100% convinced that it is visible from 1500' AGL!! :-) Thanks for the quick and effective response. Walter
  8. Hi, Smudger, I set Crash Detection off in the sim and tried again, without success. Actually, while I was uninstalling and reinstalling Compton doing the above check, a notice came up on Orbx Central saying that there was an update available for the product. I thought it was Christmas and my birthday together - that Orbx had seen my problem and fixed it the same day! So I tried it - what a downer - it made no difference! at all! Thanks, Walter
  9. Hi, today I bought Orbx Compton Abbas to add to my Orbx EU England. When I try to go to the installed Orbx Compton Abbas airport, P3Dv3 CTDs just where "Loading Terrain Data" would be displayed. If I reload and try to go to the EU England Bournemouth it also CTDs. If I go to the EU England Southampton it loads fine. If I then fly from Southampton heading towards the West to overfly Bournemouth it CTDs just short of that airport. If I fly from Southampton heading west to overfly Compton Abbas it CTDs just short of the airport (10 -12nm). If I then uninstall the Orbx Compton Abbas I can visit the EU England Compton and EU England Bournemouth without any problems. I tried the above with all the configurable options defaulted and then off with the same absolutely disappointing result. I also tried the Verify Files which gave no indication of any problems. I see no reference to this problem in the forums, to my knowledge. Any ideas? Walter Byrne
