fjacobsen Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I had the same issue as reported here today in P3D V3.2: I flew from Vancouver+ V3 Fort Langley to 1S2 Darrington via 3W5 Concrete. When I got near darrington all autogen had disappeared together with objects. Only the runway was visible. Simpy reloading the the scenery got all autgen and objects back.

HeH Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I had a thread about this issue a couple off month ago. Try to disable the ground-poly in the scenery Folder of 1S2 by adding .off to the filename. That should give You the scenery back. But the tarmac and runway will look more like a gras-Strip then. So You either have the scenery or the runeway in good coditions after a long flight. There was no final solution for this as far as I know just the Workaround. I prefere the scenery in good condition. You could also to a scenery-refresh but I don't like the interuption of the flight and have switched the ground-poly off until there is a solution.

fjacobsen Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks for Your feedback. I have seen issue noted in other threads in these forums. It´s not just related to P3D, but also FSX. It´s strange that the devs haven´t looked further into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdata Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi all, I want to add to this topic and hope that somebody at OrbX would be able to find a solution eventually. I am on P3Dv3 with OrbX Global + Vector + all NA Regions active + about 90% of the OrbX NA airports installed and the FS Global 2010 mesh underlying. Similar as described here: I started a flight at Concrete heading to Darrington. Arriving there I realized the models of the scenery were not visible. Please see the following screenshots. Simply refreshing the scenery did not help. I went into the scenery library and disabled 1S2, this made the PNW version of Darrington show up. When I re-enabled Darrington and hit OK then voila the Darrington scenery would show up in all it's beauty (no screenshot taken sorry). I instantly transferred the aircraft back to Concrete (World -> go to airport) and repeated my flight. But again, when arriving at Darrington all objects of the airport were missing. Once more I went into the scenery library and unticked then ticked the entry for 1S2 again, then clicking OK and having P3Dv3 reloading - this brought Darrington airport back. Good, it is still there, it is such a nice place to visit! It would be great if you could help me and the others suffering from the same issue. I did one further experiment, because I read something similar in another thread here in the forums. I took off from Skagit and headed to Darrington. About 13-14 miles away from 1S2 the sim reloaded the scenery quite strongly, i.e. it took a good second until all graphics were drawn again. Upon arrival at Darrington everything was there - beautiful and complete. Thanks a lot for your time and your help, Best Regards Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduekev Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have this exact same problem. Exactly as described by the original poster. This was posted almost a month ago and no response or ackowledgment for this bug? Very unusual and disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenToad Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I also had the same issue with the missing autogen at 1S2 recently, but since reloading the scenery fixed the issue, I was assuming it was just a random glitch. Apparently it was not, seems to be something "special" with 1S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeH Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 This one is running now for almost a year from my first mail when I discovered it. Try to disable the groundpoly in the 1S2 Folder. That gives You most of the scenery back. I wonder why None of the Devs comment on this. It's just a five-minute flight in the Sim for them to checke it.

shortspecialbus Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I had something similar at PAKT where almost everything loaded as a solid black object (except for the taxiway) towards the end of a longer flight, but in my case I was getting the warning dings from VAS usage. I did manage to land the plane on a taxiway and shut down and get flight credit and no OOM. Are you using FSUIPC? If so, are you getting warning dings? I think P3D will sometimes try to salvage a flight by stopping scenery loading when VAS is low, but that's just a guess. -stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduekev Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 No warning dings, VAS usage is fine. I have an identical problem persisting at KRDD. It appears to be only these two airports for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I also had the same problem once in KRDD (P3Dv3.2), but right after loading a flight there (so probably not a VAS issue). Again, reloading the scenery library fixed it.

Larry Wigmore Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Same frustrating problem here. I can fly the reverse and Concrete is always there. Only refreshing the load thru the scenery library restores it. I'd like Orbx to comment also. I've spent hours trying different stuff with no luck.

Gandalf21 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I also have Vancouver + installed and active. I made a test flight from CYXX to 1S2 and there also was no autogen at 1S2. After I deactivated Vancouver + the autogen was there. I'll make a new testflight tomorrow with deactivated Vancouver + and let you know. I think Vancouver + is the cause for the missing autogen.

Gandalf21 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ok, this problem have nothing to do with Vancouver. If I'm approaching from north the autogen is not there, after reload the scenery all is ok. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colbert Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well, this was extremely disappointing- I don't have Vancouver Plus or whatever, flew from BVS to Concrete to Darrington and when I got to Darrington it wasn't there! Or at least the autogen etc. Please, fine Orbx folks, look at this? I'm on P3D v3. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colbert Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hmmm....no Orbx developers looking at this? It's vexing to say the least...and too bad, as these two airports are equally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeBird Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was just about to make a post about this. It has happened to me to. Its like the scenery isn't there. It seems to be wiped off the map. very Strange. Mine happened on a short flight to Concrete from Darrington. When I got to Concrete just the base layer showed with no trees or autogen on top. Never seen this before. ORBX where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce e Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Flew into Darington from Concrete & as reported no scenery showing. Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goof2009 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Same problem for me. Only when going TO Darrington not starting there. I tried reinstalling too. The fix with the groundpoly looks really lowres so it's not an option to me. It could maybe help where the problem is though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 From what I have read they cant reproduce it and are stumped on what is causing it. This is the first time it has happened to me. I flew it again and all was alright. I will try again to get it to happen. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeTops Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I should correct my previous post. Yes this thread has been running unacknowleged since April but the issue itself goes way back to April 2015. Perhaps constant posting in this thread will keep it at the top of the list and get some attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Pugwash Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Also previously been suffering with no Darrington scenery showing when I do a flight from Concrete to Darrington... not checked recently but will now and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goof2009 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I also remember now that the trees along the runway sometimes is gone even when starting there. Something odd is definitely going on at Darrington that I haven't seen anywhere before. Another reason to always file an alternate: airport missing. For the record: P3D v3.3, Global Base, Global Vector, FSG 2010 and PNW; latest versions. All recently reinstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Today I flew from ORCS to Darrington and when I got there it was gone just the photo real layer. I paused the flight and refreshed the scenery and it appeared. I flew on to Concrete and then back and Darrington was still there. I haven't experience this with any other airport except for Darrington today and Concrete last week. It sure would be nice for someone from ORBX to at least chime in here so we can get this figured out. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colbert Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 It is a mystery for sure....but I have to believe that Holger or anyother Orbx talent who really understands this code could figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There has been no change in status from the thread referenced in the original post. The reason why the objects fail to load is unknown, my personal suspicion is the large number of autogen objects, but we have no official culprit.

TreeTops Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 So are we to understand that Darrington is junked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think it must be a P3D thing. These 2 airports were made along time ago before P3D so its just one of those things we have to live with. I will just fly from there or refresh the scenery before I get there as the solution. Thanks for the update Alex. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeTops Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Why is this post marked as answered when it very clearly is not? The product is still on sale, with no 'notice' that there is a long standing problem with this airport. 18 months is plenty of time to investigate and overcome an issue such as this. I feel sorry for anybody who purchased this airport in this period of time and also out into the future. If there is no intention to fix 1S2, surely there should be a notice on the purchasing page of a known major problem. This is a favourite airport of many loyal customers who have supported this company through the difficult times in the early days. Please indicate the intention of Orbx is to either fix it, or leave it as is and change the purchasing page suitably. Until then, the issue is not answered. I apologise for my persistence in this matter but really, this feels like something just being swept under the carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Answered does not mean resolved, an answer has been given, even though the problem is not resolved. Continually posting the same does not advance the topic. I do not know what is intended as far as the product is concerned. If it will make you happy, I can change the topic to active again but as there has been no formal resolution after a year or so, do you think it will make a difference?

TreeTops Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi Nick. Continually posting raised the attention though didn't it? Just like not posting about it for 12 months meant nothing happened. Change the topic if you want but results is what counts in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The issue is Prepar3d related, with a not fully known cause and an unknown fix. All we have is the workaround of reloading the Scenery Library which usually forces P3D to load all objects in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Goff Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Steve, A scenery refresh can be carried out by going to "World | Scenery Library" and hitting "Ok", even if no changes are made to the scenery library a full reload of the library will be performed.

I just made a flight there from Concrete. I made a scenery refresh with a key binding but that did not fix the missing objects. I now saw that you have to rebuild the scenery library as quoted above. Not quite the same thing for those wishing to use this fix. I'm now checking off Darrington from the library because of this. I'd rather have a functioning default PNW airport than this odd workaround every time I go there. Now I must remember, always check the forums before buying.

HeH Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 You should try my solution from ID:7 all the way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goof2009 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks, but not an option to me. I already tried that (ID:21) but the ground texture looks awful. Now if there were a way to keep the original texture with that fix. My guess is the solution is inside that file. But as long as the error is only in P3D and as the airport is "old" one can only hope. The airport was not "old" to me when I bought it a few weeks ago.
