Melvin Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello all, Since upgrading to P3D 4.5, the freeware seaplane bases (YRC, CAC8, CAE3, CAG8, and CAX6) are not loading correctly. I see the static seaplanes, boats, dudes in kayaks, etc., but no docks, boathouses, or buildings. The only buildings I see are autogen and appear to be way off elevation-wise. Here's what I've tried so far: Reinstall each airport Verify PNW Verify Global Vector Manually deleting scenery in P3D, then reinstalling and restaring the sim to rebuild the file. I'm out of ideas.

paulk Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Where are they in your scenery library, they should be high above PNW etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hello, the most likely explanation is that objectflow is not installed or not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_R Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 6 hours ago, Nick Cooper said: Hello, the most likely explanation is that objectflow is not installed or not working. Yes, as per Nick, this is almost certainly the problem; it's a general issue that will affect all Orbx products that use ObjectFlow and not related to the SPBs per se nor is it related to P3D. Hopefully Nick can help you sort it out. If you can't get ObjectFlow working by yourself, be sure to make note of whether you are using FTC3 or Orbx Central to install products. ObjectFlow is handled a little differently by Orbx Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Talk to me Nick. I am using Orbx Central (new version 4.01...) What is my next step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hello, create a Library. Go to your product list and under "Misc" you will see Orbjectflow. Install it. Run P3D and when it asks you if it can run objectflow, answer Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hi Nick, I have a Library created Uninstalled and reinstalled Objectflow Restarted P3D, but didn't get the prompt to run objectflow needless to say, I'm having the same issue. Not sure if it's helpful or not, but when I look for it under "Addons" in P3D, it is not listed. Several other things that I've stored in my Library do appear in this menu.

Nick Cooper Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hello, as the problem now seems to be with Orbx central, I will move your topic to the Orbx Central forum. Please attach a copy of your Orbx Central log to help with the solution. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi Again Nick, I don't understand what you mean by attaching a copy of my Orbx Central log. I so appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi, Another rookie question. Can you please direct me to the help section? Is this a specific forum thread? Is it an option somewhere? I can't seem to find anything. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Josh Koz Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi @Melvin, I have an idea of what this issue may be. In order to confirm my suspicions can you perform a verify files of PNW then once it completes attach you central.log file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi @Josh Koz, Now I seem to be stuck in the Settings window, with no way to return to my main menu and verify the PNW. When I select My Account, I am getting the following error. This is becoming quite the rabbit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh Koz Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 @Melvin Can you try restarting Orbx Central and trying again? Ensure it fully closed and isn't running in your system tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Took a full restart, but it did work. Able to verify the PNW and obtain a central.log file (attached). I really appreciate the help @Josh Koz. centrallogforjosh.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hello, please be patient, it is the weekend. Your question should be addressed by Josh tomorrow. Is Orbx Central working or not working at present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hello, I've actually been quite patient, Nick. I realize that it is now the weekend, but it wasn't when I reached out on Thursday, which was after I hadn't heard anything from anyone since Monday. I realize how fast work can stack up, but even a message such as yours would have been very welcomed. Are you telling me I should now expect a full week before even a "we're working on it" reply comes my way? Orbx Central is "working" in that it starts, and I can manage my scenery files to an extent, but the aforementioned problems with the boat docks, buildings, etc. still remain. I'm also wondering if whatever is causing these issues is also responsible for the problems I'm having with my KACK scenery (Lack of buildings, no runway, taxiway, or ramp markings). I do appreciate your help, but this is a very frustrating way to provide support to your customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Williamson Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hi! As this appears to be an ObjectFlow issue, can you please try the following: Go to 'My Products' on the sidebar, scroll down to Orbx ObjectFlow. Press 'Verify Files'. Go to 'Settings' on the sidebar, press 'Help' and then press 'Sync Simulator' Launch Prepar3D, select 'Add-ons', does Orbx ObjectFlow appear in the list?

Melvin Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi Mitchell, YES! That did the trick! These steps solved the building, docks problem at the Seaplane bases and the building and runway marking issues at Nantucket! Thank you so much. You saved me a few (more) grey hairs. Can't wait to splash the tourists on the docks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
