curt1 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm having problems with my Orbx regions, Global and LC products in P3Dv4. Elevations, textures, etc..are not accurate. I have FSDT and other airports installed with the .xml method and they are showing in the Scenery Library (pic 1). These airports don't show up in FTX Central because of the .xml method, I believe. I'm setting FTX to be at the top of the library, with Open LC below FTX. I click save, run the migration tool, but nothing is correct. Pic 2 shows Orbx below default scenery and I can't get that to change. I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed, please. Thanks for your assistance.

Doug Sawatzky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi Curt, You will need to take the grey side bar shown on the right side of the insertion points list (your first picture) and scroll to the top of the list to see your FSD entries and place the FTX under the last one.

curt1 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Doug, The FSDT airports don't appear in FTX Central, so I can't move the insertion point under them. Are .xml addons supposed to appear in FTX Central? I'll also add that I uninstalled FSX yesterday, and my problems in P3D started right after that. I uninstalled my FTX addons through Central, but there were gigabytes left over in the Orbx folder. I then deleted them manually. When I started up P3D, the scenery file was updated and everything was out of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Curt, Do any addons show up in the FTX Central Insertion points list? Does your #25 entry Glenn Johnson KPIA show? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello, even though FTX Central cannot see the airports added using the .xml method, you can still see in your scenery library that the correct position, just below the lowest of your other addon scenery, is just above Bathymetry. You should be able to use "at the top of the scenery library" for your FTX setting and below FTX for your OLC setting. As I understand it, the .xml entries will always be placed above the highest item in the scenery.cfg file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 No, they do not. Glenn Johnson's KPIA does not show either. All .xml added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ok, then proceed as per Nick's #5 post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I already have, but nothing changed. I suspect I have lost needed files somehow by uninstalling FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'll need to start from scratch. Doing that FSX uninstall must have grabbed files from my P3D install, because all my issues started at that point. I'll uninstall all my Orbx sceneries, then P3D since I believe my scenery/world/scenery has been impacted also. Based on my experience, I hope others are very cautious about uninstalling a sim where Orbx is active in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Orbx team can close this thread if they choose. I uninstalled everything and am in the process of putting it all back together. I'm about half way done, and I'm glad I'm retired for occasions such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curt1 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 My final note on this, everything has been reinstalled and is running great. All Orbx entries are in the proper order now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
