Sniper31 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 So, I have P3Dv5 setup without issue. I have then installed Orbx Trees, Buildings HD, NA PNW and three airports: KVUO, 7S3 and S43. Of the three, KVUO looks great and has no issues. 7S3 has several trees floating above the scenery, and also some small scenery objects. However, several trees around the airport as well as other scenery objects are on the ground properly. S43 has a transparent copy of the runway and entire taxiway and parking areas hovering over the airport. Everything else looks proper. I have tried uninstalling each airport several times. I have tried the verify files options numerous times as well. I have also tried to Sync Simulator. None of this has worked. In the case of 7S3, if I uninstall it and then reinstall it, it will work fine. That is until I exit P3Dv5 and restart, then the same floating tree problem comes right back. I am out of ideas to try.

Nick Cooper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, I don't see a problem with S43 but 7S3 seems not to be working as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg073 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I am seeing many of the airports with the same problem. Bella Coola has trees and grass floating high above the airport just as an example but there are more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, I don't wish to seem unhelpful but if you want anomalies to be attended to, you will need to provide a bit more detail than "there are more". Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geloxo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi, This seems to be an issue with other airports as well. I tested Meigs (KCGX) and it has floating grass and bushes around the runway too. Something seems to be wrong with the positioning of such objects in the scenery. But yesterday I had also floating rocks, and not today… Could be the know P3D floating objects bug. I used the configuration options in the airport to activate the grass (in case it helps) after a clean installation of all compatible Orbx products (no porting from v4 installation). I have no other scenery nor terrain addons currently installed. Terrain mesh is set to 10m. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, yes, there does seem to be a problem with the grass. I notice that if simply loading at the airport, it looks fine but if you slew to the edge, the grass lifts into the air and does not then come down until the scenery is reloaded. I have added it to the list of things to do. Thanks for reporting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Two screenshots of the issue I have at S43. As for 7S3, strangely, I am no longer having any issues with floating trees. I have done nothing since I posted these two airport issues last night, except that I have turned off my PC last night, and then turned it back on today. S43 floating runway issue still persists as per the above screenshots, but now, for whatever strange reason, 7S3 seems to be working as normal. Let me know if you need any further information Nick, and thank you for taking note. I know you all are very busy right now working on all of the P3Dv5 scenery issues, and as P3Dv5 is brand new, I completely understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello, can I ask you to close P3D v5 and then start again at this airport and see if the anomalies are there after a simulator reboot please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Okay Nick, I did as you said and the results are that 7S3 looks good now, but no change to S43...still looks like my pictures above, with the floating runway and taxiways. I also now have floating grass and floating runway lights at 11S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 You will need to opt in to the Fastlane. It should fix the problems with floating objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, as I suspected, I am already enrolled in Fastlane, according to my account on the Orbx website. Not sure what to do next.... EDIT: Also, under My Account in Orbx Central my Fastlane opt-out button it lit up, so as far as I can tell is have been already enrolled in Fastlane.

Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If you can't see the objectflow icon, have a look at the top for the updates icon. Otherwise, try opting out and in again. It must be there, it has fixed several customers' problems today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you that it must be there Nick, trust me...I have read several posts where people have posted and you posted about the update that has worked. I just don't understand why I can't see the update. I will try the opt-out and then opt-in approach and let you know what happens. Thanks for your patience with this.

Sniper31 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Alright Nick, strange things are indeed afoot....so, I clicked the Opt-Out button, and I was then notified that I would be logged out and then when I log back in, Orbx Central will re-install. This did happen. Then, upon logging back in AFTER opting-out, lo and behold, there are notifications for two updates: Object Flow and Orbx Libraries. Seeing that, I clicked on My Account and in Settings, and sure enough, there is a button to OPT-IN to the Fastlane program. Very strange. I will try the two updates and see what happens.

Sniper31 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Nick, I don't know what's going on...I've never had these kinds of problems with Orbx Central before...it's always worked great for me. So, when I installed the two updates AFTER Opting-Out, they were both very old updates....the ObjectFlow one was 2.0.something. Clearly, that is not current. So, I then Opted back into Fastlane, and there were two update notifications, one for ObjectFlow and Libraries. I ran those updates thinking, okay, now maybe I will get the 3.0.1 updates. Nope, all it did was update back to 3.0.0. I am now uninstalling Orbx Central and re-installing. Don't know what to try after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 After you have uninstalled Orbx Central and before you reinstall it, please also delete C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Orbx-central-updater. You might somehow have an older version in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 That had no effect Nick...I deleted the Orbx-central-updater folder you pointed out, then re-installed Orbx Central (v 4.1.1), ensured that I am Opted-in to Fastlane, but no joy....no update for ObjectFlow...still stuck at 3.0.0.

Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I think the current version is 4.1.6 As a last ditch attempt, I am attaching the latest objectflow.dll. You should put it into Your Orbx P3D v4 Scenery Library\p3dv5\Orbx ObjectFlow\bin and let it overwrite. If it does not overwrite, let me know.

Orbx_ObjectFlow_v3.dll 2.35 MB · 0 downloads Okay Nick, lets see what happens. Btw, that v4.1.1 of Orbx Central is the download, as of today, from the Orbx website. Anyhow, I will try that attached ObjectFlow and let you know what happens...Thank you for sticking with me on this....it's sure a confusing one....

Sniper31 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Okay Nick, a few things: 1) When I reinstalled Orbx Central I downloaded the 4.1.1 version from the Orbx website, BUT, once I logged in it updated Orbx Central to 4.1.6, so good there. 2) I was able to copy the Orbx_ObjectFlow_v3.dll into the folder you said to, and it did appear to replace the existing file. 3) However, when I look at the version of ObjectFlow in Orbx Central, it still says v 3.0.0 Thoughts?

No Nick, still no option to update to 3.0.1 When I go ahead and launch P3Dv5, using your version, S43 no longer has the floating runway, so that is something good. Also, 11S now no longer gas the floating grass or runway lights. However, at 0S9, there are some major problems, maybe related or not. The hangars on the eastern half of the airport are missing, the eastern end of the runway has no runway textures, and the terrain to the east of the airport, all the trees and houses are flat. Is this a separate issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you must be tired from helping all of us and I am sure it is late in the UK now. We can leave this here for now if you like, although my ObjectFlow not updating still has me concerned. As for 0S9, I will do as you suggest and reinstall, and see what happens. Should I post results on that in this thread, or start a new one?

gsnde Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Just so that you know you are not alone - I have exactly the same issue. I can opt in and out of Fastlane, but ObrjectFlow 3.0.0 is the max that is offered to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsnde Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Removed some faulty information I just have provided. Correct is this: "version_lib-objectflow.txt" shows "Orbx ObjectFlow 3.0.0 - April 2020". And "Orbx_ObjectFlow_v3.dll" is different than the version Nick has attached to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Williamson Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello all, I've just released Orbx ObjectFlow 3.0.1 into fastlane and it should be available in Central now. This should resolve a good chunk of the floating object issues There may still be airports that will require updates to resolve 100% of the issues, so if you encounter any please continue to let us know.

geloxo Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Mitchell, I updated the ObjectFlow to 3.0.1 via fastlane but the issue at Meigs Field still persists.

Sniper31 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Okay, here is my latest update: 1) I was able to see the notification for ObjectFlow 3.0.1 and was able to update to it. Yay! 2) 11S now looks good, no more floating objects. Yay! 3) S43 now looks good, no more floating runways/taxiways. Yay! 4) 0S9 does not look good...it looks as if a bomb went off and flattened the eastern half of the airport and also much of the terrain to the east of the airport. Now, the mesh elevation still looks proper, it's just all trees and buildings are either missing or flattened. Please see screenshots : I know this might be an unrelated issue to the floating stuff, but Nick advised me earlier to keep posting in this thread regarding the 0S9 problem. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing 0S9 at least two times in an attempt to solve this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
