Tristan Hildyard Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hello, I get this message when loading into the sim. Loading into Flytampa yssy, there are strange texture issues, then after a few seconds it settles down and seems normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernieFlyer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yep, me too. I have uninstalled and re-installed AUv2 to no avail. There are no .xml files in that directory. Not sure how this got through? Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I was getting it, I uninstalled and reinstalled last night and i think the message has gone now. Bit of a nuisance. If you're happy to just OK the message for the time being I'm sure a fix will be forthcoming that doesn't involve a new download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Eccleston Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Make sure you are using the latest version of Orbx Libraries and ObjectFlow. The ObjectFlow listing is now generated automatically based on your installed products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hello, running Sync Simulator should fix this. If it does not, please go to Orbx\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\Scenery\OF_Config.xml and delete the contents only, not the file itself. Then run Sync Simulator again. Thanks.

Doesn't work for me - the v4.5HF2 splash screen up for a couple of minutes and then the sim closes itself (and disappears from Task Manager). In my case, the now dysfunctional product is installed in the sim folder (not a library). Looking forward to a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try renaming your scenery.cfg file and see if P3D will open with a default one. If it will not, try doing the same with your Prepar3D.cfg file.

Dieter Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Julio, are you sure everything is ok now? I wonder about the size of the new "OF_Config.xml". Is it really zero (0) ? Shouldn't all installed Orbx sceneries be listed in there? Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Garcia Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I dont know. Now 9KB. Keine Ahnung jetzt hat die Datei 9KB. Ich habe wie ich verstanden habe der Inhlat komplett gelöscht. Wenn man der Inhalt eine Datei löscht sollte meine Meinung nach 0KB haben oder?????? P.s Aber weil vorsichtig bin hatte ich vorher eine Kopie der "fehlerhafte" XML Datei. Die Kopie ist noch da.

Dieter Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yes, after deleting zero is correct, of course. But now, the new one, are your installed Orbx sceneries listed in there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hello Nick and Graham, I'm a bit lost. I'm running P3Dv4.5 HF3. Installed latest AU2 update and getting same note/error as above in posting #1. Going through your suggestions I cannot solve the problem. My former "OF_Config.xml" had following two entries in connection with AU2: <Path>Orbx\FTX_AU\FTXAUv2_04_CS-MELBOURNE\scenery</Path> <Path>Orbx\FTX_AU\FTXAUv2_05_SCENERY\scenery</Path> Do I have to delete these ones? If yes, that's all or do I have to insert new entries? If yes, could you please post necessary new entries here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second run of "sync simulator" will build up a new .xml, so you can really delete its entire content before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernieFlyer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 VHGJG, be rest assured this is a very simple fix. 1. Go to your Orbx folder in the Prepar3d v4 folder 2. Open FTX_AU 3. Open FTXAA_ORBXLIBS folder 4. Open Scenery folder 5. Find OF_Config.xml (it is at top of the list in my folder. If you are concerned right click on it and Copy then paste it into a folder on your system disk as backup. Not really necessary as you will see below that Orbx Sync Simulator will re-build it for you. 6. Right click it and select Open With > Notepad 7. You will now see a lot of what will look like mumbo jumbo. Select it all. Hit your delete key. The file should now be empty. Go to "FILE" at the top of Notepad and click on Save. The file is now empty of any data. 8. Go now to Orbx Central. Up the top of the right hand side you will see a gear wheel symbol. Click on it. Under Settings APP you will see Help. Click on that and you will see the box Sync Simulator. Click on that and your 1 or 2 minutes work is over. The error is now gone. I hope this helps those whose computer skills are a little less than some of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Eccleston Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 This issue can be resolved by deleting the file OF_config.xml referred to above and then running Sync Simulator within Orbx Central.

Graham Eccleston Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 No patch is required. This issue can be resolved by deleting the file OF_Config.xml from the Orbx/FTX_AU/FTXAA_ORBXLIBS/Scenery folder in P3D and then running Sync Simulator within Orbx Central. The Sync Simulator process will reinstate your ObjectFlow config file to how it should be. The Sync Simulator process was developed to resolve issues such as these.

JohnE77 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I understand the work around. But with the amount of money we pay Orbx (developers can check my account history if they want) we shouldn’t have to go in and edit files. The patch shouldn’t have been released if it was causing a missing file/error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Eccleston Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 You are not being asked to edit any files. Please read my post two above yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE77 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I first ran Sync Simulator. The problem didn’t go away. Based on instructors from Orbx personnel I then went in and deleted all text in OF_Config.xml and saved the file. That’s editing a file. I then ran Sync Simulator again. The issue seems to have disappeared now. I work in client relations. When a company makes a mistake (as this was) they should just own up to it and apologize. It makes things better for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Butte Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 So, we are being told that we do need to ‘ edit ‘ any files but to ‘ delete ‘ some file. Same thing! It requires users to mess with files rather than issue a fix that does this for you.. I really do not like messing with files on my computer from paid software. I’m sure there are many users for whom this isn’t a big deal but as a principal it should not be up to users to ‘ fix ‘ stuff that is caused by the software itself.

Nick Cooper Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I did ask, it did not crop up in any testing, I am told. The answer was that we will check but as it is a long weekend in Australia, it will not be done straight away. It's the Queen's Birthday, you might have noticed the sale. In the meantime, the message does no harm and once acknowledged, the products all work as they did before. Or, you could just delete the file and run Sync Simulator. The choice is entirely yours. I must of course apologise for the inconvenience that this has caused you and thank all the customers who just deleted the file and ran Sync Simulator for their forbearance.
