carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello team It happens that I updated my P3D with the hotfix 2 announced on Set 26. I also noticed Central had an update for Base pack and Vector So I updated all and now I find a strange issue in the Pacific Coast of my country, there is large strip of sand that runs into the ocean called Puntarenas, here is Google maps I launched my sim and had an incredible mess! Hundreds of night patches, lakes where there are not lakes, and lots of textures missing and wrong coast lines. I run the verify files tool in Central for ALL global Base packs. Had to pause and close Central and reopen for the products to end installing ( something already reported) Reopened the sim and most of the issues where solved except one with the cost line of Puntarenas. I decided to uninstall Vector and reinstall ( had to pause for it to finishes after reaching the 100%) once it was done it showed, there is an update. So I got no confidence in Central and installed FTX Central just to verify the files of every Global Base product again and this time I uninstalled and reinstalled Vector. FTX Central showed some updated which I run as well. Then closed FTX Central and opened Central just "in case" I have everything installed in P3D root and have not migrated anything. When I launch the sim it takes almost 30 minutes to pass from 6% to a total load of the game and to make it even more sad the problem is not solved. There are a lot of scratches trying to form the coast line of Puntarenas The airstrip is also misplaced, it was mover to the ocean Here the coordinates: Or MRCH is the airport with the issue ( close to this area) Is this due to P3D hot fix 2? or to Vector? Is it caused but Central or FTX Central? I have no clue of how to fix it. I bet on Vector as it is the one that draws the coastlines but I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck Something strange is that after I have updated the products in FTX Central when I went back to Central ( without having uninstalled FTX C) Vector and Gloabal base still show an update to run... Any ideas on how to fix this, please? I'd appreciate all your help Regards, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzer Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Carlos, I’ve also updated the client only. I’m yet to check for scenery issues. Does your global lights configurator still work? Mine appears to save but then if I go back into it all fields are blank. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Looks like my Vector's entries are misplaced I'll put them as per your image and test (hope it won't last another 30 minutes starting) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello Carlos, this is a known problem created during the development of Orbx Central and there is already a fix in testing. I am hoping that it will be released very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 roger that, thank you I moved the entries to match yours but it seems the issue was not solved as there was no change in the image of the map and the sim is currently stuck at the 6% since 8 minutes already and I know it will take longer. The land that goes into the ocean look like islands in my map like in the very first picture I posted. Is like if s sort of image is blocking it to display correctly. Should I verify Vector files through FTX Central again? I'm very intrigued why your image seems to be ok and mine still remains damaged after I arranged the order of vector entries... Still at 6% loading terrain data Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Nick Just loaded and all remains the same I noticed I had a lot of night textures in the capital so I verified the files of OLC NA and that got fixed As you can see the textures look different compared to the first image I posted But I also noted you don't show the elements I have circled in red. These seem to me like left overs of another scenery I had for this area but the problem is that I removed that scenery and even took it out of the add-ons folder (it is a manual add-on, basic one) It's like if the sim somehow would have stored that scenery or part of it, and now that is removed it is not displayed correctly ( I'm just guessing) It could also be FSCrew that every single time a change is done in the scenery it does something like a sort of list of the scenery or so. I'll remove that program first and will test Then I'll remove all add-ons for CR and will test If no luck I will revert Just wonder why it takes so long to load now, from 6% to totally load... I'll let you know my findings Thank you for attention to this matter Nick Good night Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello Nick I'm very frustrated here. I removed FS2Crew UGCX No third party add-on for this area I reinstall the base back, Vector and NA LC I deleted : 1) Prepar3D.cfg file. 2) Shaders folder. 3) SceneryIndexes_x64 folder. 4) Terrain.cfg file? Run the sim then FTX Central I checked my Vector files are in the correct order and they are But the issue is not solved This leaves as the possible culprit the P3D hotfix 2, thought it looks more like a vector issue doesn't it? I replaced the three components, content, client and scenery Have you updated your P3D yet? Regards, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello Carlos, just the client for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Ok Then I think I should revert to previous scenery and content... As yours works fine I think I'll revert those two components I hope not to mess it up worst I'll report Thanks Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Nick I reinstalled previous Content and scenery and no luck I'm getting desperate now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you do something in ORBX Central they will revert to the bad order. You will have to put them back over and over until they fix it.

ArtFlyer Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was able to get rid of the black terrain by verifying everything in the Global range. Remember to also rearrange the order of the vector entries, they will be out of order again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Artflyer I had the impression it was going to happen that way so I'm currently using FTX Central again for now I have reinstalled all Global packs and ensured the vector entries are correct but it seems is not working I'm considering a reinstall of P3D but this seems to me more a Vector issue though as I revert to previous content and scenery components.. It would be terrible to reinstall all to end in the same situation Thank you for your concern Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBlueSkies Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Carlos, I used Central and after noticing your post, decided to check my scenery settings. I use the Lorby Addon Organizer and found my orbx scenery (Vector folders) settings out of order just as you did. I moved them to the correct order using Nick's screenshot and then saved the settings. It asked if I wanted to delete the scenery indexes, which I clicked yes. When I restarted P3Dv4.5, it rebuilt the indexes in a relatively short period of time. When I went to MRCH, the sim looked just like Nick's pictures. Not sure if this will help, but using Lorby's Addon Organizer to rearrange the layers correctly and then deleting the scenery indexes worked for me.

Euphonist Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Carlos, I have the same issues at my location. I tried everything. USA, South America, Australia. Black squares all over: I also reinstalled several products using the Orbx Central. I followed the insertion points from Nick Cooper above. Nothing helps. Also I was already a little bit suspicious of that Hotfix 2 (4.5.13.32097) from LM. I did the complete installation. Happily I always keep the previous installation (in my case 4.5.11.29713). So, I am going back to that one and look what happens. I keep you informed!! Till next message, Wil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphonist Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Oh oh, That was not good. It did not help. It is still very bad. I hope that a solution will come. Anyway we have tried Wil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euphonist Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi Carlos, Just for you to know (but maybe you are not interested at all): I bought a complete new PC based on the AMD Ryzen 7 3700 8-Core and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. That runs fantastic, even with TE GB South and EGLC (London City Airport) installed! I hope you are out of trouble now!

carlosqr Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hi Will Fortunately all is working fine at this moment, though I'm only flying Orbx by now ( just a bit tired of the reinstall of all add-ons I have. In time I'll reinstall them) I'm planning to update my computer too :-) Great news on your side, enjoy it Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
