Jack Sawyer Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Did ya’ll do something with the new Central? Because all of a sudden I no longer have the seven black buildings in the city, it looks awesome. Many thanks!
Mitchell Williamson Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 We've been changing lots of things, so can't say for sure what fixed it for you. Either way, I'm glad its working for you now!

mschwartz Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 How did you fix the 7 black buildings in Canberra. I've reinstalled it, verified it, but still have the same 7 black buildings (see pic). Seems its the Barton Building and the Russell Offices. I checked the texture directory and there are dds files with those names on them. Anything else that can be done?
Jack Sawyer Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 Hello M. I recently had the same problem. A few questions. 1) Do you have the new Central installed? 2) Do you have the new Australia v2 installed? For now please do this: Run Central Click on Settings Click on Help Click on Sync Simulator THEN go back to Canberra CityScape and IF you have version 2 installed put a check in “Orbx Australia Version 2 Installed” And then finally, Verify Files. Post back with your answers/results. Best regards. Jack
mschwartz Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Hi Jack, I'm running Central V4.06 and have Australia V2 installed and checked in both CityScape and Airport sceneries Ran Central, Synced Sim successfully. Ran the sim, no change 7 black buildings. Deactivated Cityscape in the sims options/addon menu: no buildings at all, as expected. Reactivated Cityscape and deactivated Airport scenery in the sims Options/Addon menu. Viola, 7 textured buildings. Reactivated Airport scenery again,. Back to 7 black buildings So, we have a conflict between the Cityscape and the Airport sceneries. Had a rummage around in the airports scenery directory and changed the name of CANBERRAbuildings.bgl to CANBERRAbuildings.bgl.OFF, as there is a file of the same name which is both larger and newer in the Cityscape Scenery directory and now have the 7 buildings textured. A work around until ORBx can update it. regards Mike

Unfortunately, for people who buy one or other of the products but not both, those duplicated files are part of the packages so it's not possible just to remove them from one of the installers.

It would be great to have an option in the Configurator for the product(s) to enable/disable the files as needed.

That's very odd John. Mine had the same black buildings and then Central was updated. Now it's fine. Curious.
