ACTIVE Tipella fixes for P3D v2.5 (yes, I know)

[ZorgroZ]

I have a copy of the former Orbx Tipella package version 1.0.

The installer is only for FSX and P3D v1.

Nevertheless I was able to install the package under my copy of P3D v2.5 (through creating the appropriate registry entry and symlink).

However, when I go to Tipella in P3D, only a part of the scenery shows up. For example, buildings are not visible (but cause a crash if you taxi into them).

I'm aware that Tipella is not distributed any more by Orbx, but as a long shot I'm hoping for some hints on the following:

1. Was there ever a release of Tipella for P3D v2.5?

2. How can I fix my installation of Tipella for P3D v2.5? (I guess this has to do with texture misassignments?) For instance, what tools can I use? (I'm a developer but new to flightsim, thus can be as technical as needed.)

Thanks,

Michael

I cannot go into more detail. Tipella was a Orbx freeware product. Today there are problems that don't want to get myself!

Thanks Voyager, That's helpful. I'll try this out tonight.

There is also a way to do that without using the migration tool...

 

You need to manually add an entry for "Objectflow_CBB7.dll" (including the path, i.e. "[...]\Prepar3D v2\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_CBB7\Scenery\") in your "DLL.xml".

 

Then, copy "ObjectFlow_P3D.dll" from "ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\Scenery\" to "ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_CBB7\Scenery\" and rename it to "Objectflow_CBB7.dll". Alternatively, after adding the correct entry to "DLL.xml", simply run "ObjectFlowUpdate.exe" and it should update all DLLs listed in "DLL.xml", including this one.

 

HTH,

Great, thank you! I'll post back results.

I was able to get the buildings show up with Tym's instructions, and it looks ok from the air.

However I have another strange problem:

All preset starting positions are either right in the water or on the runway. If I taxi from the runway down the little pathway to the village, at the edge of the runway the airplane crashes.

I have tried multiple times, taxied very slowly and carefully in the center, but always get a crash, as if there's an invisible obstacle.

Has anybody ever experienced this? Any idea how to fix or diagnose?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi guys,

 

One more thing to note: if Tipella is removed from scenery.cfg every time you run FTX Central, you need to add a script for it.

 

Go to "[...]\Prepar3D v2\ORBX\Scripts\", create a new file called "scenerylib_NA_CBB7.cfg" and paste the following text in it (leave the "XXX" strings as they are, FTX Central will automatically adjust the library entry as needed):

[Area.XXX]

Title=FTX_AA_CBB7

Local=ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_CBB7

Active=TRUE

Required=FALSE

Layer=XXX

As for crashboxes, I consider the crash detection routines in FSX/P3D to be way too buggy to be usable anyway, so I keep crash detection disabled.

 

Regards,

Tym

Many many thanks

that works also with EDBH Barth

Hi guys,

 

As this scenery is no longer a part of Orbx, and we no longer host the download nor provide support for it, I'm going to close this topic, cheers!
