andiflyit Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi all, will Orbx please add a checkbox in the settings menu where one can choose if it writes a new scenery.cfg or not. And than add another switch where one can write a new scenery.cfg manually. Same system as with the updates. The reason is that I very often use a smaller scenery.cfg for a certain area which gives me very short loading times and so. But Orbx Central of course overwrites this one. And if I don't remember that I opened Orbx Central before, the simulator of course creates indexes for all of my sceneries. Don't need that.

Nick Cooper Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello, I don't think that the simple act of running Orbx Central does anything to the scenery.cfg file. You need to do something yourself, such as add a product, set the Insertion Point or resynchronise the simulator. All of those require that the scenery.cfg file is written to or there would be no point in running them in the first place. As you wish to manage your own scenery.cfg file, I would imagine that you must already be using a utility such as SimStarter or the SCE, so you could easily restore your scenery.cfg file after doing any of the things described above?

andiflyit Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Nick, as far as I know FTX Central "activates" the scenery in any case and to do so it overwrites the existing scenery.cfg. Should be the same with Orbx Central. But I'll check this again next weekend. I don't use SimStarter but I have a collection of different scenery.cfg somewhere and copy it over. Of course also a backup of the big one created by Orbx Central. Cheers Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right, so this is much better now. Orbx Central does not do any overwriting during startup. Thank you very much.
