nplo Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Having now successfully updated to EGCB Barton Manchester, I find that the transparent roads option is missing. See attached screenshot. Please reinstate this option. Thanks, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I've got the option in my Orbx Central for EGCB. Don't know why you wouldn't have it. Maybe do a Verify Files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hello, I have updated to version 2 and there is indeed no control panel. I think I remember reading that the need for one has gone because it takes its settings from the surrounding scenery now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have TrueEarth Great Britain Central set on transparent roads, but this seems to have no effect on EGCB Barton. Does your EGCB Barton take the settings from the surrounding scenery?

John Dow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Version 2.0.0 installed yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nplo Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Interesting, particularly after Nick’s post. Thanks for screenshot. Just a thought, have you got TrueEarth Great Britain Central installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hello, if we are to trade screen shots, here are mine. Presumably the Australian version is not the same as the European one. then verify files, just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 If I was asked to guess, it would be that the control panel is missing form the Orbx Central Library installation files. It is certainly missing from mine. There are two roads folders, as expected but no control panel xml file. Perhaps John can let us have a copy of his?

John Dow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Here you go control_panel.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks John, that seems to be the TEGB Central control panel. I have done a bit more research and it seems that Orbx Central does not install the control panel at all, either into X Plane 11 or an Orbx Central Library. FTX Central however does install one into the X Plane 11 folder of course and once added, it works in both FTX and Orbx Central. I will attempt to bring this to the attention of the Orbx Central developers and see if it can be fixed. control_panel.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nplo Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks Nick and John. Which folder does the Control Panel go in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nplo Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 OK, I’ve put the control_panel.xml in the EGBC folder (not the Overlay folder) in Custom Scenery and the ‘configure’ choice has appeared in Orbx Central and I now have the choice to choose transparent roads. Trouble is, it makes no difference and I cannot get rid of the default roads. I have tried choosing default then transparent and back again and started and quit X-Plane several times, but the default roads do not disappear. Any thoughts?

Nick Cooper Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hello, I think the no roads option always leaves the motorways, doesn't it? If not, try deleting the roads folders and verify files. See if that does it. There is a persistent problem of the roads folders being the same, presumably because they are except for the actual content of the files.

nplo Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Actually, the motorways are a good addition, it’s the other roads that, in my opinion, never look right. I’ll try your suggestion re deleting road folders. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
