resolved TE Great Britain Configure roads

Issue:  Road textures in Configure

 

Just updated Orbx Central and Great Britain Central.

 

All three Great Britain TE's have the same problem now.

When I go to Configure and select default roads, or transparent roads, none of them will stay selected.

Hi Jack,

 

This is likely a symptom of the product originally being installed via FTX Central 3. Orbx Central has functionality in place when updating a product to first revert it to the products default settings, apply the update, then reapply the users settings.

 

These products when originally built for FTX Central 3 don't contain any default options within their control panel xml files so Orbx Central can't revert it to defaults before updating. This results the issue you're seeing.

 

The easiest fix to simply remove the control_panel.xml file from the product then perform a verify in Orbx Central. This will download the Orbx Central version of the control_panel.xml which should resolve the issue.

Thanks Josh but there’s only one problem. It wasn’t installed using the old FTX Central.  I can’t say more publicly because I’m not sure if it’s allowed yet.

 

But I can try your advice about deleting the file. 
 

And this is all three Great Britain products doing the same thing.

Hi Jack,

 

Was this installed via Orbx Central Closed Beta by chance? It's also possible the defaults functionality wasn't in place at the time.

 

In addition to deleting the control_panel.xml file can you also delete the roads, roads_x and roads_t  directories before verifying in case the product has fallen into a state the control panel can't easily recover from.

Yes sir it was.  Can you give me paths to all these referenced files?  Many thanks Josh.

The paths to these folders are: 

 

Custom Scenery\Orbx_B_GB_North_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads\
Custom Scenery\Orbx_B_GB_Central_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads_x\
Custom Scenery\Orbx_B_GB_South_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads_t\

Hi Josh, this worked perfectly.  I did exactly as you described and now all three will remain ticked on Default Roads.  I very much appreciate your help!
