Blaster254 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Ok I reckon it’s something I’ve done. Of course. Here goes I have Global, Vector and GB south installed. I’ve been using the sim without any problems. when I went back to look through my products, it showed that the ORBX library wasn’t installed. So I installed it, and also added trees HD as that was not installed. when I returned to P3D 4.4, it crashes every time, freezing at the loading phase. I wont ask what part of you product has caused the issue, rather what have I done wrong? Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hi First please apply the below basics. Ensure the Orbx Libs are installed and up to date. (is there a blue notification above the settings button in FTXC3?) Ensure all of your 3rd party non Orbx addons are at the top of your scenery library and above your FTX entries. Then in FTX Central 3 Insertion points, move "FTX entries should be inserted below" just below your last 3rd party addon. Then move the "openLC entries should be inserted below" just below your FTX entries. and click "Save". Then, if you have Vector installed, there is a Vector control panel access button at the bottom of the FTXC3 settings page. When you open it you can select the amount of road coverage etc, be sure to uncheck the "Frozen Surface (in winter only)"option, and check the Australia Add-Ons under the “Settings” tab, then go to the Airport Elevation Correction (AEC tool) tab and run the auto configuration process and be sure to click on "Appy" when it is done scanning.

Blaster254 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 What would have caused the freeze? The fact I installed the library after the add ons? I thought I had installed it, but it wasn’t there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It is usually caused by the scenery library order ends up in a state that P3D does not like and will not start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLSTON Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Had P3D v.4.4 Orbx True Earth UK South loading a flight delay on 6% about 15 minutes. updated to P3D v.4.5 now stays on 6% left for an hour still there no change loading other flight areas, no problem ?

Smudger Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Rolston, could you attach a copy of your scenery.cfg file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 to your next post please. There are 156 entries that are not shown above, that is a lot of 3rd party scenery, plus those below entry 178. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Ok I checked the scenery. All is correct and in the order as you stated above. I unchecked the frozen lakes and carried out everything as you asked. The sim eventually loaded but it took around 10 minutes. I have the freeze at 6%. Second time round it shot up really quickly to around 94% then stopped for some time there. As I said the only changes I made were installing the ORBX library and trees HD. It worked smooth as a babies bottom before I did this. The other thing that has stopped working after this is active sky. Very strange. my specs are as follows: intel i9 9900k 5ghz GTX 1080ti graphics card 32gb DDr4 vengeance RAM. P3D 4.4 this should be ok to run smooth add ons: Aerosoft A320 bundle up to date Quality Wings 787 UK2000 scenery Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Rex 5 and Airports HD Chase Plane GSX and GSX 2 Matt Davies PTA ( I use his shaders) could any of these be conflicting? i think the fault is somewhere within ORBX as others are experiencing the same. Help please. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Also once loaded my frame rate has dropped to 5-12fps. I was getting from 45 - 100 plus prior to installing the library that was missing. I have had lots of problems with P3D. It’s taken a month to get it working properly including my computer upgrade. Please let me know what’s gone wrong so I can fix it ASAP. I was told that p3d was better than fsx. So far not convinced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’ve unticked all the ORBX boxes in the scenery library and the sim is running smooth again. Is it worth uninstalling and starting again? Deleting a config file? My fear is somethings been corrupted and I have to uninstall everything and start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks, no worries I see the Vector entries have been moved to a configuration that will most certainly cause problems, FTX Central installs these to a position where they must stay, but perhaps your Lorby tool is changing this?

Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 And I’ve moved around. Working fine at Salt Lake City and Innsbruck. Appears to be an issue around the Uk. Thought at first it was the uk2000 airports, but I tested some Uk default airports, frame rate right down. Once airborne stuttering. FPS goes up then drops right down. Then up again. Just trying to give you as much info as possible if there’s a bug with ORBX scenery somewhere. As I said. Worked absolutely fine until it said I didn’t have the library installed. Only once I installed the library did the problems occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Sorry Doug I sent that before I read your reply. How do I change it back. That Lorby file is in a different location. Can I manually change it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Is it the area 003 when it should be near the bottom with the other ORBX entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Usually just opening up FTX Central and waiting a moment for the "Activating scenery" should place them correctly, but in my images below you will see there are five specific entries just below the default named entries, and one at the 3rd from the bottom location.

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Ya, the last scenery.cfg you posted had them all at the top under the other Orbx entries, but they are correct in the images above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you will need to pick and stick with one scenery.cfg, then delete the terrian.cfg also found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 so the sim can rebuild a new one when you restart it that matches the scenery.cfg.

Blaster254 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yes I moved them all up incorrectly initially. But they reset themselves. So last questions. Of all appears correct now, can you see anything obvious that’s caused this problem since I reloaded the FTX library, bare in mind I have configs in both programfile and programdata p3d folders?

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Oh, I would also delete the "SceneryIndexes_x64" folder just for laughs and P3D will build a fresh new on startup, heck, you could delete the entire C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 folder with no worries. The sim will rebuild a new one on start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaster254 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hi Doug. so I finally found the problem child. It was two. The Lorby programme needs updating every time there’s a modification so it mirrors the scenery config. i uninstalled GB South. It ran smooth again. I reinstalled BG South, ran everything again and then went to the sim. Same slow load (only a minute or 2 stuck at 6%. The same frame rate issue was back though. So it’s GB South. It’s killing the frames. I don’t have anything set to high. I would have thought with my system specs that it would be able to handle it. Was I overconfident?
