jase439 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello, I am experiencing a total loss of autogen in all FTX NA regions in P3Dv4. If I disable all but the mesh scenery components, autogen comes back. I am also running FTX Global/LC/Trees HD. Is this a known issue?

FreeBird Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Vector hase'nt been released for V4 yet maybe that's your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase439 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 My bad. I just checked my Orbx Central and I do not have vector installed. Trees HD was the other "global" package I had, not vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Have you installed the Orbx Libraries? That would be the first thing I would check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi As far as I am aware, FTX regions do not need FTX vector as they contain their own vector data. kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, No, as far as I am aware, you are the first person to report this problem. If you disable "all but the mesh scenery" you have effectively disabled the region. Have you installed the libraries? If you have, please try disabling the 3D trees in P3D v4 and see if your autogen returns. If you haven't found it, on the World settings page in game, untick "Dynamic 3D Autogen Vegetation" and restart the simulator. Make sure also that your autogen is not switched off.

KVSandleben Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I had this problem both in v3 and v4. It's not related to specific regions. It can happen anywhere. Autogen simply stops reloading. To get rid of the problem I reran FTX Central to let it refresh the autogen descriptions and deleted my prepar3d.cfg. That helped in both versions of the sim. I still haven't figured out what caused it. It's probably a combination of FTX with something else. The first time I noticed it in v4 was after installing Ibiza and Mallorca from Aerosoft. And I had those installed in v3 as well. Not conclusive evidence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Possibly your other third party software also wrote to the autogen descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase439 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 At present, FTX and FSUIPC v5 are all I have installed in Prepar3D v4 (as far as third-party software goes). Will try the suggestions here this weekend and see if I can resurrect my trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jopi190 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have the same problem with Germany North. I have no autogen when I approach a airport, If i depart a airport I have autogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_R Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi there, This is not my area of expertise but I can think of one diagnostic step that may help. From the sim's point of view there are several types of autogen: vegetation, buildings that are generated on the fly and library objects placed by the autogen system. (Library objects can be placed by '.bgl' files too. That's a different system.) Are all three types of autogen missing or only the vegetation? Key files that control the specifics (eg tree species, size ranges etc) are in the [sim]\Autogen folder. Could you post a screenshot of the contents of this folder showing the name, size and date modified of each file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This did the trick for me! Something in the scenery database must have been stale and just needed to be rebuilt. Thank you, Karsten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_R Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks for posting the screenshot of your Autogen folder; it’s very helpful. I’m bringing up what I see internally. Before I begin, have you installed the Orbx libraries? They are essential of course. [edited following info from Holger] Per Holger, chances are you are overloading your system such that it can't keep up. Heres' what Holger says: "A simple cross-check is to go into the scenery library and then click on OK, which will force a scenery refresh. If the autogen shows it's his PC struggling and he needs to lower settings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
