Ray Smith Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The upgrade to Orbx Central went well and I migrated all of my products to a new main library, also without problems. However all my settings from FTX Central were not carried over and I have had to do the insertion point once again, particularly all the FTX Vector settings.. The end result is that my scenery.cfg order of scenery is totally messed up with some items that cannot be edited or moved. Loading the sim creates many errors with scenery not found (only Orbx items). A sample few of the 53 (fifty-three) errors are as follows: Image of part of the scenery in P3D V4.5 showing unordered items. Those scenery items with the selection highlighted cannot be moved or edited in the sim. Also after the upgrade the old Lights Configurator is there but unnecessary as it's now in the Global Base. Do I uninstall the old one at the bottom of the screen in Orbx Central? I think I only have one word - HELP! Thanks Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Smith Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Further information. Using the Lorby Addon Organiser I can see duplicate entries for Orbx entities at different layers. I'm assuming that the library migration process has created additional entries. Example index entries for Barcelona The one on the left is showing as an addon xml whilst the right is shown as a scenery config item (non-xml) Also attached is a list of all the load errors and central.log. Please advise of next steps. Ray Windows 10 64 bit P3D v4.5 ORBX SCENERY LOAD ERRORS.xlsx central.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Smith Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 This problem is 7 (seven) days old and is yet to be resolved. I have had no response from Orbx concerning this issue and no contact either. I would like to get this resolved so that I can get back to trouble free simming.

Mitchell Williamson Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi! On 8/10/2019 at 4:00 AM, Ray Smith said: Those scenery items with the selection highlighted cannot be moved or edited in the sim. Add-on.xml layers can't be manipulated by the scenery library like scenery.cfg entries. Those entries at the top can be safely left there. These leftover entries will be removed in future product updates. On 8/10/2019 at 4:00 AM, Ray Smith said: A sample few of the 53 (fifty-three) errors are as follows: If you have any duplicate scenery that you have successfully migrated to libraries, you can remove these scenery.cfg entries and the corresponding folders in the P3D directory. You can then try running 'Sync Simulator' which can be found in Orbx Central under Settings/Help which should clear up the duplicates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Smith Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've now deleted the areas which reported by P3D v4 and performed the "Sync Simulator" as recommended above. Scenery order all over the place in P3D. Insertion point in Central gives top of scenery as the only option (I have the latest version of Central - 4.0.10). I used to have the insertion point after the last scenery item and can't do that anymore. I am seeing all the individual items for e.g. Netherlands TE and a single line address in addition. Fails to sync. Attached is Central log file. Ray central_log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Williamson Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hi Ray, This may be caused by duplicate empty scenery.cfg files. Do scenery.cfg files exist in any of the following paths? %LocalAppData%/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3D v4/scenery.cfg %AppData%/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3D v4/scenery.cfg If so, can you attach either (or both if they both exist) to your post?

Ray Smith Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Attached are the scenery config files found for P3DV4 at the locations below. %AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 There isn't one in the %LocalAppData%/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3D v location. Please note that I have just purchased EGLC. The purchasing process had problems of screens not displaying and after the purchase the install through Central is not working. The process hangs in the install process. Having a rough time at the moment with Orbx and wonder what's the best course of action - whether to remove all Orbx products and start again or wait for a solution from you? scenery.cfg scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Smith Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Members 1 13 posts Report post #10 Posted August 28 As this problem has been with me for some time I bit the bullet and uninstalled all Orbx products making sure that there were no references to ORBX in the scenery config files. I then did a re-install of all the Orbx products. This did not fix my problem and in certain respects was worse. So I organised the scenery using Lorby Addon Manager and now, at last, I am able to fly. The scenery order is not perfect but it's working for now. It would be good if Orbx can properly sort this issue out for me. Attached are the updated scenery config files found for P3DV4 at the locations below. %AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 This has been and issue for me since 9th August and we are now into September and I haven't got a fix yet. Please, provide me with support and a solution to fix these problems. scenery.cfg scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hello, the scenery.cfg file on the left looks to be in order but only Orbx Global Base is installed, not even the Orbx Libraries. Naturally it also includes an extensive collection of other developers' scenery. The scenery.cfg file on the right is corrupt, with an empty entry below Default Terrain. You should not have a scenery.cfg file of any description in AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4, so please delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
