Doug Sawatzky Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi As has been already clearly stated, Vector is not and will not be made compatible with P3Dv5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Hugo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Munich looks amazing in V4 with Germany South. In V5 like some forrest with buildings within. I guessed it’s just because of the missing Vectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpol471 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi Doug, I know perfectly well that Orbx_VECTOR is not compatible with P3D 5 but these two folders and not "the whole" program, they make road traffic work for me, obviously at my ... risk, but so far I have not detected any problems in any part of the scenarios seen where road traffic was completely absent before.

robpol471 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi Juanjo, I took them from my Orbx library for P3D 4.5 with this path:...\ p3dv4 \ Global VECTOR \ Orbx \ FTX_VECTOR \ FTX_VECTOR_OBJ AND FTX_VECTOR_CVX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know, Nick, could you please say. It's not in his post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello, as you cannot install Vector to the p3dv5 folder, they are referenced from the p3dv4 folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello, you would need to manually add scenery library entries and probably put them just below Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpol471 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 After the manual procedure with "Add Area" in Scenery Library of P3D 5 I put them in this position of Scenery Library:http://imageshack.com/a/img923/6749/gaRwg7.pngI moved them to this position but also when "Add Area" placed them in first position of the "Scenery Library" of P3D 5, everything worked properly.If moving to "Scenery Library" P3D 5 does not allow it, you can use the free Lorby Prepar3D 5 Addon Organizer which moves, deletes or installs in "Scenery Library" remembering thatthe startup of the program must be done as Administrator.Finally I remember that in Orbx Vector, where FTX_VECTOR_OBJ and FTX_VECTOR_CVX are located with FTX GLOBAL VECTOR Configuration Tool.exe you can configure it on the page that appears"Trasportation", "Water Features" and "Varius" Features " affecting FTX_VECTOR_CVX.

Hi, Can you link to the message/thread ? I do own vector, I would like to understand what I loose/gain between P3Dv4+Vector VS P3Dv5 without it. Thanks !

Mike Sierra Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi, Doug, I respect the decision of Orbx not to adapt Vector to P3Dv5. But I, too, am missing the traffic on the lower ranked highways. To use Robpol's workaround may solve the issue - with the 'bad taste' of being only a workaround, not approved by Orbx. May I introduce the idea to take - at least - the minor road traffic, the tunnel portals and such 'stuff' and form a new global scenery? For which I'd be willing to pay for. So this could be a win-win situation for all VFR flyers and for Orbx. Thanks for reading, Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian St Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 A nice find, thank you. No obvious performance hit noted, but testing is in early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpol471 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi, As I have already written, any variation of a program or as in this case the use of two files of Orbx VECTOR, is it is " always at risk " for those who do it. IMHO, what matters is whether this use has a purpose and above all ... it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint George Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi robpol471, best thanks for your hint, it works fine. I missed the traffic too, but did not remember, that it belongs to vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
