resolved texture problems at KHRT

[bvdboomen]

I started to follow a topic in the ORBX Central forum about black textures and made settings changes given in that topic.

Then things god worse and now I think I'm having a Vector problem?

 

I use ORBX Central without libraries, so just as FTX Central 3 was; straight into the sim. (p3d v4.5)

I was following this in particularly: 

 

1. So it started like this which made me move to the ORBX central forum

 

2. The, when the black textures remained, I decided to verify Global Base and OLC NA and Vector and I got this: The airfield got buried and the ocean disappears.

 

and:

 

 

3. Disabling Vector brought the ocean and airfield back and made the black textures disappear.

 

What in heavens name is going on?

 

Cheers,

Ben.

Good question. Difficult is to find someone able to answer it.

Welcome to the club.

Meanwhile I refreshed terrain.cfg and scenery.cfg and erased the scenery cache to no avail.

It's clear that ORBX Central is placing Vector AEC above 0000 Base. Moving it below doesn't make any changes either.

Hello,

 

assuming that you have installed everything into an Orbx Library, can you show the order of the Vector entries in your scenery library please.

Ignoring the AEC entry for now.

Thanks.

Hello Nick,

 

I have no library. Everything is in the scenery.cfg.

I hope this is a good way to show.

Vector is placed between Africa and Asia:

Local=Scenery\AFRI

Hello,

can you open P3D, look at the Scenery Library and rearrange the entries like this:

Bump for fix request from ORBX...!

 

 

The fix needs to be a sticky until ORBX can squash this reoccurring bug!

 

You have to completely delete the effected LC and reinstall.

 

However, it's been reported a full delete from ORBX/FTX Central leaves behind several files in the LC Folder that have to be found and manually deleted.

 

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the NA LC 3 times and finally fixed it.

 

The problem is that any change or update to the LM scenery causes the issue to reappear again and again ad nauseum...

 

The easiest way for me to test is to fire up the default EGLIN Airport and fly to the other airport to the right along the shore when taking off over the water...

 

Every time this issue reappears this area is always effected.

 

Not sure about the Europe LC cause I don't fly in Europe currently so I haven't checked there in awhile.

Thanks for the answers. I'll try Nick's proposal first this afternoon.

[bvdboomen]

Nick, that was the solution. Thanks!

But the developers should look at ORBX Central because I erased the scenery.cfg file to let P3D built a new one. Then I started ORBX Central to get the ORBX scenery into the scenery.cfg file. ORBX Central is putting the Vector entries in the wrong order then.

Hello,

yes it is and a fix has been requested and promised.
