UKJim Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi, So I recently purchased Fall City 1WA6 and installed it - the runway is grass? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKJim Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks LOL - I remember seeing the images on the website and thinking, MMmmm my comanche needs to go there. But I am not messing up it's tyres on that dirty grass Hopefully there is a fix soon. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just checked mine in P3D V4.2, and my ground poly/runway is showing fine. If you go to FTX Central - P3DV4, in the settings, is "Use ObjectFlow 2 in Prepar3D v4" ticked? Could you post a screen shot of the contents of your 1WA6 scenery folder, as that may hold a clue. ".....Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_1WA6\Scenery" Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I tried a reinstall and nothing helped - I have attached my folder contents and also the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi, I'm not sure what the problem is. Everything there matches what I have and mine is displaying OK. Here are some suggestions of things you can check/try: Check PNW is installed and activated, and below 1WA6 in the scenery library. Make sure your mesh is set to 5m. Uncheck "Use ObjectFlow 2 in Prepar3D v4" , restart FTX Central, recheck the box, then save. It does seem to be an issue with Object Flow, as turning it off is the only way I can get the runway to disappear. If "resetting" object flow doesn't work, you might want to try reinstalling the libraries. Go to ".....Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ORBX\User Documents\Versions", and delete the file "FTX_AA_ORBXLIBS.TXT". Then open FTX Central and install the libraries. Let us know if anything fixes it or not. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hello Jim, it is quite clear that objectflow is not working, you are also missing a windsock, buildings, trees and foliage. If you can sort that out using Scott's advice, the airstrip will look as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks Nick. Disabling and then re-enabling ObjectFlow fixed my P3Dv4.0 problem..........Doug (now I wonder what else I was missing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi, I have tried all the above and nothing. I have had a few issues lately with my Orbx scenery and it is furstrating me now. If I run the 'MigrationTroubleshooter.exe' I get missing files next to FTX Global - I have repaired p3d scenery, deleted the version files for global_base and orbxlibs - re-installed both and run migration tool again, still missing files. I think all this could be related but who knows? I love this scenery, but how it all does not work with one another is beyond me Is there any way to install the objectflow on it's own? or delete and replace somehow? migration_missing.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 @Triplane Haha, no worries Doug. You are probably just used to thanking Nick like most of us. @UKJim Jim can you please post a picture of your current scenery.cfg file for P3D V4? Also, can you attach the following files: addon.xml from "......Users\Admin\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Orbx ObjectFlow 2\" OF_Config.xml from ".......Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\Scenery\OF_Config.xml" Unfortunately I am not qualified to offer advice on the migration issues, but will still try to help out how I can. I will just check the above files for any errors. Hopefully someone else can chime in regarding the migration errors too. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I am just in the process of reinstalling again - so unfortunately lost the files. But if it happens again this time, I will post them here. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 OK so fresh install with only PNW and Fall City installed - all good. So I will continue to install other ORbx scenery and see if it messes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 When do you need to run the migrator? Everytime you install new scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hello Jim, not all products need this, in fact most of them don't. FTX Central should have asked you to do this once already. If not and you see no problems, don't do it until you have finished installing all your products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 OK so I now have installed all scenery apart from all the Global products and 1WA6 is fine. I now have an issue with EGHA Compton Abbass where the plane loads beneath the apron when parked at parking 1 I have run the migrator too and still no different. Once this is fixed, I will install global products and see if it changes everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hello, that's an old one that should have been fixed but hasn't been. In scenery\world\scenery, you will find 000_EGHA_FTX_Exclude_ALT.BGL Please rename it to 000_EGHA_FTX_Exclude_ALT.BGL.OFF, restart the simulator and the airport should look as intended.

Thanks that did fix that - is it something my end that is not installing correctly or has the package regressed somehow? I also have missing trees at darrington municiple 1s2 I have tried reinstalling the libraries, but no good. Also, at Bear Gulch as part of Cushman Meadows KCMW - There is a weird elevation issue with the bridge. Sorry for all these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi, I think it may be worth backing up your cfg file, then delete it and let the sim make a new one and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do this but this is fresh install of P3D so the cfg is pretty clean and fresh. Something worth a try I guess. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 OK so all I did was move 1s2 and kcmw to the bottom of the scenery library list the first airports above the regions. This fixed it somehow So it looks like I now have all regions and airports installed successfully. I will now try and install Global packages eeeeek!!

Stewart Hobson Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just be aware, when you run FTX Central, they will be placed in their (correct) original positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKJim Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 OK so, I have run FTX Central again and reloaded sim. I have the issue again - so I went into the scenery library and did not move any entries. When I click OK, it reloads scenery and all is fixed. If I move airport and move back again it comes back. I have manually deleted the 'SceneryIndexes_x64' folder and let the sim regenerate them - the problem still remains as above with Bear Gulch bridge elevation. Any ideas?

UKJim Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 So just an update again. The tree's have gone again and I cannot see why. It's doing my head in so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 OK so when I load into the sim I now get no trees as in screenshot 'no trees' If I go into the scenery library or update the settings in P3D - it then reloads terrain data and autogen, trees now appear - as per sceenshot 'with trees'. My settings are attached in screenshot 'settings' and my scenery library is in screenshots 'scenery lib 1 - 3' Any advice as this is really annoying. Is there a log or something I can check? I have also deactivated PNW in the scenery library and loaded the sim - the trees now appear without any issues - could this be a conflict of some sort with PNW and 1S2? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJim Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Just to add to this - if I deactivate 'FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY' the trees work as expected. But as soon as I activate this - they vanish. In case that helps in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hello, though I do not see the problem that you do, you could try disabling the four 1S2 files in ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY\scenery and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I can't replicate this at all. Perhaps try reinstalling PNW, though the problem seems to be limited to autogen. What happens if you disable entries 1 - 16 in your scenery library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have uninstalled all ORBX products, removed the ORBX libraries entry in scenery.cfg and deleted all ORBX directory. I am going to download ONLY PNW, 1S2 and ORBX Libs - see how that goes.

Holger Sandmann Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi there, there's a recent thread about a similar issue in which the poster describes how the autogen draw distance slider appears to have an odd influence. I haven't been able to replicate this but perhaps others can cross-check this on their P3Dv4.2 installations: https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/151456-p3dv4-autogen-lod-radius-issues-at-ensg-some-other-ftx-airports/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
