Jorge Hi Jorge: I haven't noticed that and I applied the update to v1.4.2. In your setup could you please give your new location of these files, Global and Autogen?.

AnkH Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Still no patchnotes? ORBX becomes a little bit annoying in regard of communication to their customers, to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben McClintock Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi all, As mentioned above, the Global update was to ensure compatibility with the add-on package system. It also bundles the Global Lights Configurator and all the associated textures. We would eventually like to show patch notes inside Orbx Central itself, but that will unfortunately have to come at a later time. There may be a larger-than-expected number of files to download because of how our chunking algorithm works. Furthermore, there may have been invalid files in your base install of Orbx Global BASE that are being repaired by Orbx Central when you perform the update. We're sorry for the lack of communication regarding this. As always, please let us know if you have any further questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Anyway, that did not happen here. I have not used the new library system yet due to all the reported issues, and according to ORBX Central my BASE was updated to 1.4.2, and it remains in its original location. The Autogen seems also to remain in its original place. To me, it seems that you pointed the installer to the new path in your new library by yourself, otherwise how it could end up there?. Could you check or develop a bit more on this?. Thanks Cheers, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I have not migrated anything yet using the new feature, due to all reported issues everywhere. My questions are: (1) to where Global BASE v1.4.2 files are going to be installed?. (2) Are they part of an addon-xml or are they going to the scenery.CFG?. Please clarify to check my setup and maybe find an explanation why my terrain display is not correct after installation of ORBX Central.

Traditionally (the legacy way of installation) Global BASE are just exchange textures which where overwritten in the /Texture folder of your sim. Thus they don't require either a scenery.cfg entry or an Add-on.xml entry/folder. However, you had to re-install them every time you reinstalled the Contents-module. That's the way I left it when I switched to ORBX Central 4. I am only going to change this should I have to reinstall the whole sim one day. Kind regards.
