noted Netherlands not visible

[Francis2704]

Hi guys, I've bought ORBX Netherlands in Aerofly fs2 and installed correctly in a separate directory according to Central, but alas, no scenery???

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance,

 

Francis

Hi @Francis2704,

 

Can you attach your central.log file so we can look further into this for you?

[Francis2704]

That is so kind of you!

Here comes ...

central.log

Hi @Francis2704,

 

I can't see any obvious errors in your current log file. Can you try clicking 'verify files' on TrueEarth Netherlands, waiting for the process to complete then reattaching your updated central.log? This should help me identify if anything went wrong during the installation process.

Hi Josh,

 

New Log file.....

Central.log

Hi @Francis2704,

 

Can you check if the scenery exists at the following path: /Users/francis/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-2-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery

 

Orbx Central should symlink the product from your Orbx Central Library into your Aerofly installation at the above path. If this link doesn't exist Aerofly won't detect the installed product.

Hi Josh,

This is what i found...(Gebruikers = USERS)...

Any suggestions?

Hi @Francis2704

 

The provided screenshot indicates that the product successfully downloaded and installed into your Orbx Library. The only part missing that could explain your issue is a link between your Orbx Library and the Aerofly installation. To check if this link exists can you perform the following steps:

 

- Open Finder

- In the top menu bar click GO -> Go To Folder

- Copy and paste the following path into the box and click go 

/Users/francis/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-2-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery

 

- Provide a screenshot of the contents of this directory.

( In the mean time I've put the files in this directory so it all works now. I thought, however, that I could use the external directory??)

Hi @Francis2704

 

Sorry for getting back to you so late. I've been doing some investigation of this issue to determine why the links aren't being created.

 

It appears to be a limitation of the macOS version of AFS2 that results in AFS2 being unable to read links that Orbx Central creates. This limitation doesn't exist for the Windows/Steam version of AFS 2. 

 

Copying the files directly into the simulator addons directory will work and is the suggested workaround for the current version of Orbx Central.. We're currently implementing a change in functionality in the next update which will place the files directly in the simulator address this limitation. Unfortunately this does mean that libraries can't be supported for AFS 2 on macOS.

Hi Josh, very clear. Thanks for your explanation. I will use this workaround for sceneries I'd like to add...

best, Francis
