AlanJ Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Firstly thanks for getting me addicted to the ORBX sale (don't tell the wife ) and the fantastic products you produce. I do however have a few minor issues, i recently purchased California South, California North, Global vector and OLC Europe, i don't have any elevation issues with FSDT KLAS but i do have two sets of markings on the runways and wondered if there was a fix for this? The other issue is with Aerosoft Sacramento where i have buildings over roads and on using GSX to park at a gate it was in the middle of a fenced off lawn area and a pinging telling me i'm about to have an OOM and so wondered if there was a fix for this, if indeed it is even an ORBX issue or some other problem. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Alan, welcome to Orbx and thanks for the kind words! We've collected guides for helping with integrating third-party add-ons with FTX SCA in a sticky thread in our Compatibility subforum: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/107874-sca-compatibility-index/ Let us know if you have specific questions about any of those instructions and discussions. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Holger and thanks very much for the reply. I seem to have fixed the Sacramento issue by moving it to the top of the scenery list as i did with LatinVFR KSAN where i had all default buildings until i did so, i had already tried the FSDT KLAS fixes in the link but the double runway markings remained.

Holger Sandmann Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Alan, perhaps you still have another airport facilities file active for KLAS. I'd suggest to run a Windows Explorer search of your entire flightsim folder tree for all .bgl files that include the airport's ICAO as part of their names -- e.g., search term *KLAS*.bgl -- and post a list or screenshot of the results with full file names and folder paths.

AlanJ Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks very much for that Holger, i'll give that a try and let you know how i got on. The ORBX addiction continues i had to get OLC North America today she's going to throttle me , at these prices it would be rude not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ok, i've done an explorer search of P3D v3 and all my KLAS bgl's either belong to FSDT or FTX there are no others.As long as FSDT KLAS is below all the FTX scenery i have no elevation issues but i do have double runway markings and FSDT scenery merging with default scenery If i move the FSDT scenery above the FTX scenery then this brings on elevation issues, if i then apply the fixes in the link the elevation issues remain. So only by being below the FTX sceneries do i have no elevation problems but do have the two issues above. Sorry to be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi again Holger, i think this may be an FSDT/P3D issue and not have anything to do with ORBX at all, i switched the Las Vegas.bgl off in the P3D NAMW folder and i have only one set of runway markings and the KLAS scenery seems to be fine but i do lose the Las Vegas strip.

Holger Sandmann Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi there, those default LV files are the same in FSX and P3D and Las Vegas.bgl should indeed remain active as it contains the casino models. With the file manipulations as per the FSDT KLAS thread the airport and strip should display correctly as long as the display priority is FSDT KLAS above SCA above default. Perhaps you should double-check the list of file steps posted here: and then post the list of active .bgl files as I suggested so we can cross-check.

AlanJ Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks once again Holger, i'll double check and see what i've missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Holger i've double and triple checked the way i applied the fixes and it's still the same, here are a few images:- 1. Fix applied and KLAS scenery above SCA but below other ORBX scenery 2. Fix applied and KLAS scenery at the top of the scenery list 3.Fix applied and KLAS scenery below all ORBX scenery Here's the list of BGL'S KLAS\scenery AP_KLAS CVX_KLAS KLAS-sprelev jt_KLAS KLAS_parte3APR KLAS_parte4APR KLAS_strice_A-B_term KLAS_strice_set01 KLAS_strice_set02 KLAS_facility KLAS-parte1APR KLAS-parte1RNW KLAS-parte1SFND KLAS-parte2APR KLAS-parte2RNW KLAS-parte2SFND KLAS-parte3RNW KLAS-parte3SFND KLAS-parte4RNW KLAS-parte5APR KLAS_strice_cargo KLAS_strice_set03 KLAS_strice_set04 KLAS_strice_term_int KLAS_strice_termC KLAS_strice_termD KLAS_light_1sett KLAS_light_2sett KLAS_light_3sett KLAS_light_4sett KLAS_terrain SCA05\scenery:- ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS_CVX ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS FTX_SCA_OBJECTS_KLAS_PLC World\scenery:- ADE-FTX_SCA_KLAS_elevation_adjustment FTX_VECTOR_APT\scenery:- ABP_KLAS APT_KLAS VECTOR_AEC\scenery:- AEC_KLAS Just to let you know i'm a 53 year old idiot that really should'nt be allowed anywhere near a PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi there, sorry, but that list isn't very helpful as it's difficult to see which files got deactivated with the additional .OFF extension. It would be much better to make sure the search results (*KLAS*.bgl) are displayed in View > Details mode in the Explorer window and then to take a screenshot of that. That allows us to see full file names, extensions, dates, and folder paths all at once. For example, see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/134687-kmry-elevation-issue/?do=findComment&comment=1195382 What I do notice from the \KLAS\scenery list is that the new cvx_FTX-SCA_FSDT-KLAS_compatibility.BGL from the compatibility instructions appears to be missing. Have you downloaded and installed that file? Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sorry, told you i was an idiot The cvx_FTX-SCA_FSDT-KLAS_compatibility.BGL is installed but explorer did'nt pick it up for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi again, looks like you didn't run Vectors airport elevation correction (AEC) tool yet, from Vector's control panel. You'll need to do this after installing new regions and airports, regardless whether they are Orbx or third-party products. Running the auto-scanner and then pressing Apply will make sure that all of Vector's duplicate airport files -- the ABP_KLAS, APT_KLAS, and AEC_KLAS .bgl files in your list -- will be deactivated.

AlanJ Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks for all the help Holger, i'm running that again now as i did de-activate quite a few addons to try and get P3D running smoother.I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Holger, i ran the AEC tool, made sure KLAS is above FTX scenery but still the same I may just uninstall KLAS as everything else is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi there, I've just noticed in your list above that ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS.bgl is still active instead of having the required .OFF ending. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJ Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Holger, i switched that off but no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
