nopatio Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi There. I hope I am in the right forum. I have just reinstalled P3D V3 and started to install all my ORBX sceneries with the new installer for P3D V3 . The FTX Central 2 tells me that everything is installed correct and OK, but when starting the sim, there are absolutely no ORBX sceneries. I use the Scenery Config Editor, so I can see there, that nothing is registered. It is pointing to the correct location of the scenery.cgf file: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ , but the cgf. file is without any ORBX scenery entries. But there is a scenery.cgf_Orbx_Backup file where all is registered. I tried to install KEGE manually and enabled it, and it worked fine, but it should be done automatically by the installer. So my question is why is that, and how do I get it to work properly? Best regards Bjarne Otto Last Order Number: FSS0465750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi Bjaerne, the scenery.cfg entries will be added when you press the "Apply Group" button. Try cycling a couple of times between groups to see whether that does the job. If it doesn't then either your scenery.cfg file somehow denies access to FTX Central or there's an issue with the registry entry for your P3D installation.

nopatio Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi Holger. Thanks for your answer, I have tried cycling the FTX Central, but that don't help. What I don't understand is, why it registered in the Scenery.cfg_Orbx_Backup, and no in the scenery.cfg. That mean the connection is there, otherwise there wouldn't be a backup. I could of course use the backup as scenery.cfg, but it should go automatically, and I think that is the whole idea with an installer. I have attached the Backup file, maybe there is a clue in there. I have deleted all files left from P3D V2, according to the P3D V3 forum at AVSIM, so there should be nothing left from that installation. Cheers Bjarne Scenery.cfg_Orbx_Backup.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 If you visit the freeware page you will find at the bottom, a Registry Tool. Download that and run it, you may well still have your P3D v2 entries and FTX Central may be writing to the V2 scenery.cfg file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have installed Global, vector and Open LC Europe, but nothing is in Central, scenery library and scenery.cfg . I tried that registry tool, but it already point to my p3dV3 installation folder. It doesn't help. I have parallel FSX installation and there it works with FTC Central 2.

Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 When you start FTX Central, does it open a menu where you can choose between FSX and P3D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I choose P3DV3 every time. FSX works fine, something happened with new P3DV3. Maybe I installed it to early when FTX Central 2 is still not prepared for V3.

Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I see that the Orbx libraries have an entry in your scenery library, did you add that yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTX Central for P3DV3 shows Global, vector and Open LC EU in the regions page. But in the Insertion points Tool there is nothing. Also in scenery.cfs is nothing. Scenery library opened from P3DV3 nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbtonse Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 No, libraries are probably added by installer. I didn't add anything manually (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Have you installed all of your products into P3D as well as FSX, or just the libraries? You must install them all into both simulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbtonse Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yes. I installed into P3DV3 all 4 products: Global , Vector, Open LC EU and libraries. I repeated again, but still nothing in Insertion points and scenery.cfg. During installation , installer points correctly to my E: drive where P3D is installed. All files are there. Shall I just just manually add now in scenery library? Pitty that Tool doesn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nopatio Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 OK, thank you so much for the help, problem solved with the help of Nicks advice about the Registry Tool. There were still a entry left in the registry from V2, but it had the same cenery.cfg file address as V3, so by deleting this in the registry and check that there were no more V2 entries, I opened the FTX Central and activated FTX Global, and everything is fine.

zbtonse Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 for me the registry tool does not help. it does not do anything but just shows the correct location of P3D V3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbtonse Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Finally got it done. Manually added Vector and OPENLCs to scenery library ! No problem with registry because PNW and other regions went smoothly. Thank you all for trying to help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopatio Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi again. I found out that in my case, and maybe also in zbtonse's and others with similar problems, that it was my use of the popular " migration tool" earlier, that had created a cfg.file (P3D v2) in P3D V3 scenery. cfg. file.

zbtonse Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I run once more FTXCentral2_setup.exe which is in ORBX/Scripts folder. That solved all my issues with Vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
