Nick Cooper Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hello Charlie, just to confirm that this is the aircraft crash detection and that with it disabled, all is well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReinFlight Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Nick and Charlie, I got the same problem. When I select ignore crashes then everything works fine. But with crashes selected there is a crash when turning from taxiway to runway. Is for both runways 06 and 24. Aircraft I used is Carenado Piper Seneca II Rein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Rein / Nick, Strange, it even collided with invisible objects when using the P3Dv4 default aircraft but for me only at the EGPH (Edinburgh) any thoughts Orbx THANKS Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Oh yes, exactly as Rein happens when taxing from hold point on to active runway lining up with the centre line. Only at EGPH which I downloaded today 26 March i verified files lies and sync scenery in the Orbx menus etc best regards Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz Goeta Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We have checked and seems like we missed to turn off the crushing boxes in the new bgl's of the update. working to solve it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raz Goeta Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We will push an update through Orbx Central asap. By than, Here is quick fix you can install manauly: 1. copy the 4 BGL files (attached) for the following path: your Orbx library folder\ Orbx\FTX_EU\FTX_AA_EGPH\scenery 2. overwrite the files when requested.

Charlie McEwan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I downloaded the software in to my P3D specific folder as per the recommended option is the destination files link account for that location? Thanks charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hello Charlie, the file structure is the same, whether in a Library or not. You just need to look for it in the P3D folder instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks Nick, i will have a go as per the advice provided hopefully I will get it right thanks both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello Raz /Nick, Ref the four files in Raz message, can I just rename those folders which I see in the location Orbx\FTX_EU\FTX_AA_EGPH\scenery to include the .BGL text, only I did this and get mutiple errors when starting P3D if not do i simply right click on the file s x4 Raz has provided and paste in to the location provided? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello Charlie, you should download the files form each of the four links. Select all four in Windows File Explorer and select Copy. Navigate to Orbx\FTX_EU\FTX_AA_EGPH\scenery and in an empty space, click on Paste. You will be asked if you want to let the files overwrite, answer yes. Job done.

Charlie McEwan Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 The error I see is SCENERY.DAT file error it says then close P3D, and delete Orbx\ftx_eu\ftx_aa_egph\scenery\orbx_egph_lights I get this message for each individual file Raz provided?

Nick Cooper Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello Charlie, you cannot delete files while the simulator is running without causing error messages but if the error messages persist after you have restarted it, delete the contents of C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SceneryIndexes_x64. You should not need to do that, P3D should rebuild the indices when restarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi Nick, I did as you said in previous message just to sure you say download the files from each of the links, you mean right click and save link I am win 10 and dont get option to download, sorry to labour the proceedure.

GrahamTMuir Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Morning all (UK time), Not sure what the state of play is Re the EGPH Edinburgh fix status so this:- I downloaded another update for Edin this morning at 10:00Hrs-ish (Orbx Central) but have to report still crashing at rotate active 24 runway unless I turn off "detect A/C crashes". Also, and maybe connected? - I cannot land in on the 28 at London City EGLC without crashing about a 2 mile distance out (maybe less, I'm a little busy) on the scope and correct speed flaps etc ILS approach in my Phenom 300. Landed here oodles of times in this equipment. But if I turn off "detect A/C crashes then no problems ILS app and land is successful. Removing EGLC Orbx Payware Airport and reverting standard TE South Airport = no issue with ILS app and land whether "detect A/C crashes" turned on or off. Kindest Regards Graham P.S. Have you seen the queues at the supermarkets and freezer centres?? Looks like we picked the right time to hit that diet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the queues at the supermarkets and freezer centres?? Looks like we picked the right time to hit that diet!! Hi Graham, Are you able to get a screenshot at the point of crashing at EGLC? It's a bit of a tricky one to nail down that far from the airport without a visual reference. 2NM out from the airport is beyond the boundary of the airport scenery pack but if you can shoot me a screenshot, I'll see if I can replicate it.

GrahamTMuir Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi Greg, yeeaah, I may have been optimistic in the distance, replay shows approx 600Ft AGL I estimate within a mile b4 touchdown, that's inside a mile for sure. Hope that helps, but listen, when I downloaded the first EGPH update I got a report that five files failed to load, did the verify files as instructed and it reduced to two files failed to download, did synch, tried verify several times, still 2 files not opened and downloaded. The latest update I downloaded this morning, same again i.e. two files failed, tried verify and synch etc but no joy. Thus I am two files short from day one of updates and no idea which two since not specified. This may be importanty to you Tech Chaps. Hope this helps. Graham P.S. Thank you Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinFlight Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi, This morning I downloaded the update. Now I have version 1.1.1. But the problem still exists although it's slightly different. I can make my turn from taxiway to runway and accelerate the plane. Just before rotate the plane crashes. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi All, Exactly samr issue as reported by Rein , taxi from stand OK pull on to active rumway OK invisible collision on rotation! Kind Regards Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
