Secret Sphere Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Quote Your Central log file provides us important information, please attach it to your support requests. You can find it at the following locations, or by pressing Control + Shift + L. Windows: %APPDATA%/Orbx/Central/central.log macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Orbx/Central/central.log Linux: ~/.config/Orbx/Central/central.log You can delete this box/quote once your log is attached Central v.4.04. I now have 98 blank entries near the top of the scenery library. What are they and where shall they sit? A few addons are above and the rest of my addons are below. Also the insertion Point for open lc dont work correct i have it set to below UTX but instead they are below FTX Airports which are correct below my last addon Airport.

Mitchell Williamson Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi! Central v4.0.4 included a fix that would prevent blank entries in the scenery library from causing issues with Central. This may be a potential side effect of this issue. Can you please attach your scenery.cfg file? It can exist at either: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.CFG or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE\Scenery.CFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Sphere Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 I tried to delete one but it wont go away. I actually have some 300 blank entries because they are among the BASE entries at the bottom also. Those came already with central 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doeke Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have exactly the same problem and it is not solved by 4.04 and also not solved by resync. lots of blanc parts which you cannot delete due to importantcy it says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh Koz Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi, We've created an internally task to look into the cause of blank entries in the scenery library. We'll follow up once we have an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Sphere Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I uninstalled Central and reinstalled Central3 but the blank entries wont disappear. Found out they are the base entries so now I have 4 copies of them spread around the scenery library. It's a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello, I am still on the latest version of Orbx Central and do not see the problem that you are having. I wonder if your scenery.cfg file is the problem and I attach a copy of the default file. Please rename or delete yours and replace it with this one. First open FSX and look at it to satisfy yourself that there are no errors in it. Then close FSX and run FTX Central, let it "Activate Orbx scenery" and then start FSX again and look at the scenery library. If it is still OK but with the Orbx entries added, your problem is solved.

Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 In that case, don't delete the file, make a backup somewhere safe. If you like, attach a copy here and I will see if I can repair it but in the meantime, please try what I suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no blank entries in central3 so if I do this while I'm in Central3 I'm sure it will be ok. Blank entries problem came with new Central. You know my 300+ addons are all sorts free and pay (most) gathered through the years with many updates added found on different sources and some probably gone. As for my scenery.cfg I've deleted some blank entries but some were not possible to delete so I gave up. Here's how it stand at the moment.

Secret Sphere Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 To make it easier I will delete all blank entries that can be deleted and come back with a new scenery.cfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello, no need, I have managed on my own. Your scenery.cfg file was well and truly corrupted and not by Orbx Central. I have made the necessary repairs and attached the file which I have tested in FSX. It is named scenery.cfg and you should replace yours with this one. I have also run the corrected file through Orbx Central to prove to you that Orbx Central does not corrupt an unadulterated scenery.cfg file. I have given this a name to ensure that you do not use it but by all means take a look. scenery to look at do not use.cfg Scenery.CFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Sphere Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 @Nick. Seems ok now, what a relief! Many thanks for what you did with my scenery.cfg. I think the blank entries appeared when I did the Insertion Point in new Central. I will stay in Central3 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doeke Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Nick, I have replaced your cfg scenery with my excisting one even after I installed fsx se and orbx central again but the strange scenery within fsx se is still the same (a mess) looking forward hearing from you doeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello Doeke, replacing a corrupt scenery.cfg file will of course corrupt the scenery. I offer you the same service as I offered to "Secret Sphere". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shown you that the problem was not Orbx Central but your already corrupt scenery.cfg file. However, you must do as you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doeke Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 i dont understand it I used the cfg file from you which was on the right site. that was the good one you said. so changing my scenery into yours should then ok isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 No, the copy of the scenery.cfg file attached to post 9 is a default version, to be used only to replace the damaged one and to allow you to build a new undamaged one. If you wish to attach your damaged file, that does not work, I will try to fix it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello, that is not the scenery library at fault. Possibly it could be the terrain.cfg file, for which there is a fix here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doeke Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 no it didnot solve the problem, is there another file maybe for fsx se this one was for p3d perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 There is no need for a file for P3D v4, it replaces the file itself. The P3D and FSX files are the same. Can you show a screen shot of the problem please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks, that does look like a corrupt terrain.cfg file. I attach a copy of mine, put it into your FSX root folder and let it overwrite.

doeke Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 thank you but it did not work and also my scenery was a mess again.

Use the scenery.cfg Nick fixed for you. Then everything should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Sphere Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 @doeke. Do this before you install FSX:SE again to get rid of all possible problems. Then you should not need to change scenery.cfg if you use Ftx central 3. https://dovetailgames.kayako.com/knowledgebase/article/View/78/0/how-do-i-reinstall-microsoft-flight-simulator-x-steam-edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
