active Scenery Library, items greyed out

[donbrindles]

Hi All,

I've installed Global Base, Vector and OLCeu into P3Dv3 and everything seems fine. I'm just curious though: in the scenery library the following entries are greyed out:

 

Edwards AFB

Berlin

Longleat

Istanbul

Reno

Global Generic & Vehicle Libraries

 

Is that ok?

At least MY list shows the same phenomenon. I suppose, that these entries are essential for correct display of scenery, maybe not only in the mentioned regions, but globally.

Hi

Yes it is OK.

If you ever install Southern California, however, the notes that come with the software instruct you as follows :

 

 

 

If you are using the Gold, Acceleration, or Steam-Edition versions of FSX, or any of the P3D versions, you'll have two default entries in your scenery library menu named "Edwards_AFB" and "Las Vegas", respectively. Both contain local photoreal ground textures. You should deactivate the "Edwards_AFB" entry as FTX NA SCA includes much larger and more recent photoreal coverage of the Air Force Base (KEDW). Deactivating the "Las Vegas" entry is optional; the default photoreal coverage doesn't blend well with the surrounding SCA landclass textures but better matches the location of the default casino models and also has brighter nightlighting. Note: if the checkbox for either entry is greyed out you will first need to load the active scenery.cfg file into either Wordpad or Notepad, search for the entry, and change the [Required=TRUE] line to [Required=FALSE]; the active scenery.cfg file is located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX or C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{#}, respectively).  

 

Hope that this helps you.

 

Kind regards
