nikejp63 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I noticed that I am missing downtown Toronto buildings and CN Tower in P3D v4.3. Also, a few buildings have black texture. I have Orbx FTX Global, Vector, Global Airport pack and openLC NA installed. I removed CYTZ files from the Global Airport pack folder and this didn't solve the problem. I also disabled FlyTampa's CYYZ and this didn't solve the problem. I see red lights where the buildings should be. Are there any files in openLC NA that conflict with the default P3D downtown Toronto skyline? I'm thinking it's a conflict with openLC NA because I didn't have NA installed in P3D v3 and didn't have this problem. Thanks. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, I have Open_LC NA installed, along with the other addons you mention, and I do see the default Toronto buildings. There is something else going on. Can you check if the default Toronto.bgl is in place and active. Check the following location for "Toronto.bgl": ".......\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Scenery\NAME\Scenery\Toronto.bgl" Let us know. A screen shot of the affected area may also help if the issue persists. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached two screen shots of downtown Toronto from CYTZ. One day and one night. If you can see, there are red beacons where CN Tower and other buildings should be in the night picture. Thanks.

Scott Harmes Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi Nick, Thanks for the screenshots. At this point I have tested all combinations with and without ORBX, and to me it seems like an issue with your P3D installation. Please check yourself by disabling any ORBX scenery via your scenery.cfg file and see if the buildings reappear. Did you install P3DV4.3 using a full installer from scratch, or did you update from an earlier version? Make sure the NAME folder is active in your scenery.cfg file. [Area.*] Title=Eastern North America Local=Scenery\NAME Layer=* Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Also check if you have any other APX files (airport files) with the ICAO codes CYYZ or CYTZ anywhere in your simulator. They may be contained in scenery files put there by 3rd party AI traffic addons. Have a look at your Toronto.bgl file. The size should be 3,875,665 bytes. In the NAME/Texture file there should be the following files relating to Toronto: 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_Air_Canada_Centre.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_Air_Canada_Centre_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_bloor.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_bloorSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_bloor_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CadillackFVTower.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_CadillackFVTowerSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CadillackFVTower_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CanadaLifeBldg.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_CanadaLifeBldgSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CanadaLifeBldg_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_charles44.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_charles44specular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_charles44_LM.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CityHall1.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_CityHall1specular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CityHall1_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CityHall2.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_CityHall2Specular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CityHall2_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CommerceCourtNorth.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_CommerceCourtNorthSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_CommerceCourtNorth_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_Dundas.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_DundasSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_Dundas_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_hbr.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_hbr_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_HumbBrdg.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_HumbBrdgSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_HumbBrdg_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_KingWest.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_KingWestSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_KingWest_LM.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MarriotECenter.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_MarriotECenterSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MarriotECenter_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MarriottHP2.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_MarriottHP2Specular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MarriottHP2_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MTCCenter.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_MTCCenter_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_OldCityHall.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_OldCityHallSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_OldCityHall_LM.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_on06a.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_on06aSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_on06a_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_RoyalYork.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_RoyalYorkSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_RoyalYork_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_the250.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_the250Specular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_the250_lm.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_UnionStation.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 Toronto_UnionStationSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 Toronto_UnionStation_LM.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 toronto_westinharbour.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 349,648 toronto_westinharbourSpecular.dds 24/05/2017 09:50 PM 174,888 toronto_westinharbour_lm.dds Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikejp63 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Ok thanks, I'll check that out. Also, I only updated the P3D v4.3 client. I also checked downtown Cleveland which is in the NAME directory and it looked correct. And I have no trraffic addons. I think it happened either when I installed the updated FlyTampa CYYZ or when I installed the Orbx freeware airports. But, I have disabled both and the problem is still there. Unless the Toronto.bgl file is corrupt. P3D is very frustrating sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikejp63 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Scott, The NAME folder is active. The Toronto.bgl file is the correct size. All of the Toronto texture files listed are in the NAME/texture folder. I searched and didn't find any CYYZ or CYTZ APX files. I disabled Orbx Open LC NA and the freeware global airports. Nothing changed. I'm wondering if my Toronto.bgl or Toronto textures are corrupt. Another frustrating P3D problem. Thanks. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ok. Thanks for the updates Nick. I will have another look and see what I can find. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have exactly the same problem. I have tried disabling and re-enably scenery etc to no avail and had given up getting them back. I also did a 4.3 upgrade not full install. Will be following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hello, as far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the default toronto.bgl. although there seem to be errors in the default scenery, like the step in the sea. This is with all the sliders fully to the right, although you have most of the Toronto.bgl buildings missing, you also have missing ships and hardly any autogen. The Toronto.bgl used in my image is attached for you to try. Toronto.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Did you try the replacement file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well, may I jump on the bandwagon? This is fishy. I'm running P3Dv4.3, no additional Toronto scenery, Open_LC NA and Vector installed, all sliders right hand side, NAME folder correctly installed and active, toronto.bgl is available, also the above mentioned Toronto.dds files. Nevertheless is my Toronto display different to the one Nick posted above. Most big buildings are in place, nevertheless I'm missing some buildings on the left side of the picture comparing to Nick's screenshot. I tried the attached toronto.bgl file but this seems to be the same as the standard one (and makes no difference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yes, I am seeing what you are seeing too Dieter. I'm not sure where the difference comes from. Some more clues to solve the OP's issue, maybe? This is with Fly Tampa Toronto installed but disabled, with FTX Global Airport CYTZ active, OpenLC_NA active and Vector active.

Scott Harmes Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 @nikejp63 Hi Nick, The pics you see above show what the scenery should look like with the Toronto.bgl active. Here is what the scenery looks like with the Toronto.bgl inactive: As Nick mentions above you are also missing a lot of autogen, boats etc. Do you have your scenery complexity and autogen settings at maximum for testing? Please do so if you don't. Are you having autogen or scenery issues elsewhere? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No difference. I don't know what the problem could be. Unless the actual building.dds files are corrupt. I don't know how to extract that out of P3D. The weird thing is that the red building lights are there at night, but not the building. I really don't want to reinstall P3D just for this issue. I have not seen any other problems like this in my scenery. Thanks. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aig Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Apologies for re-activating an old thread, but was anyone ever able to overcome this as it has now happened to me as well, and with Toronto being my home base its extremely annoying. I used to have the buildings and its been a while since I flew around the city so not sure what has been added since to cause this. Nothing in the Toronto area however. Running P3D4.5HF3. If anyone was able to figure out what caused this and has a solution I would be eternally grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
