Paul140 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 To clarify things first. I recently had to completely re-install my OS (Windows 10) due to a drive failure. This has always sat on a drive of its own (C). My XP11 set up was as follows:- X: Xplane 11 (Steam Version) W: Custom Scenery (This had all True Earth Products connected by symbolic link) U: Other scenery an libraries connected by shortcuts I was hoping that I would be able to fire up XP11 however that didn't work so I had to re-install that along with orbx central. I also had to recreate my symbolic link. All fires up however none of my Orbx stuff is there and when I look at central its asking me to install everything which I don't understand as the files are all still on the W drive?? Any ideas out there I can't understand why its not working, but there again after spending a week trying to fathom out what was causing my pc to go slow (corrupt hard drive) then having to re-install stuff my brain has turned to mush cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Could well be that Central has lost track of the instal location due to reinstallation of Central. I also assume you symbolic linked each file/folder of the Orbx addons and not just the "heading folder" by that i mean for example True Earth Oregon instead of the files within the Custom Scenery that Central creates when you install outside of the XP directory. This is what i mean: I also suggest you check your Users/name/AppData/local x-plane_install.txt file which is right at the bottom of the AppData/Local folder that there is only the correct XP installation entry listed.

Nick Cooper Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hello Paul, there are two utilities, one named FTX Central and the other named Orbx Central. Which Central are you trying to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul140 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Nick,I re-downloaded Orbx Central. That was what I was using prior to the problems John, previously I only did the Symbolic Link with the heading folder i.e X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery to W:\Custom Scenery and that worked, effectively I double click the custom scenery folder in xplane and it opens the custom scenery on the W drive.

Paul140 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well Xplane is now seeing all the Orbx stuff, however Orbx Central isn't?? I noticed however that EGLC wasn't installed so I installed it and it went to my W drive where the custom scenery is. When I tried to load it, XP11 got to "finishing asynchronous loading" seized up and CTD?? all the other airfields are Okay which is strange. I have uninstalled Central because my logic says if Xplane can now see everything a re-installed Central should too. Albeit that won't sort the problem above out, a bit more digging I suspect Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul140 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Update on the situation. After a re-install of Central, it now picks up all of my products. With regards to the other issue, when I re-installed my OS I reduced the paging file, at the same time I unchecked the "let windows manage on all drives" hence the problem.. Just as a matter of interest, I have got 32gb RAM and RTX 2070 Black (8gb), isn't that enough to cope?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 32GB of RAM is way more than enough for your needs. So can you confirm if your problems are now resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul140 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Its strange Jon, everything is now working but that's only because I went back to having the system managing my pagefile. Biggest issues were EGLC and EGNX which I suppose with all the new textures is understandable. I'm now going to have a go at OC the RTX 2070 a little. Thanks I've been put back to a newbie as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
