Stuartygr Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi All, This has happened just recently and i am somewhat confused as to why its happened. Basically London bridge for example is missing and the scenery looks different to what i am usually used to on Orbx TE UK North, Central & South. I uninstalled Orbx and reinstalled via Orbx central and verified all the files. Everything seems fine untill i use XP11. When i look at the Custom Scenery folder within XP11 i have notices x2 linked shortcuts to the SAM Library ( I am guessing this was done by Orbx central ) but i also have another folder named SAM Library with similar files. Has anyone else came accross this before i completely reinstall XP11 and Orbx Kind Regards Stuartygr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also confirm that you have the XP London Landmarks file installed. DON'T start uninstalling anything yet. Regarding SAM files. You either install into Resources/plugins which is the newer way of installing, or you just take the SAM Library folder and place that into your Custom Scenery folder. Remove any surplus SAM folders.

Stuartygr Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi Jon, sorry for the delay but its been mayhem at the moment lol. I took your advice and prfixed the custom scenery folder according to the proper scenery layering. I have included my custome scenery pack ini file to show my current layers that work now. Going by the advice on the SAM_Library i notice that i have one in the Resources\Plugins & Custom Scenery folders...i am right in saying i can safely delete the one in the Custom Scenery folder as you highlighted that the other is the new way of doing it. Whenever i run XP11 it also includes a shortcut to SAM...never seen this before untill i updated Orbx scenery...is this a new feature? Thanks for your help, much appreciated Stuart scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Your scenery_packs is not correctly layered and your prefixing with letters is not helping when the prefix is used for all files except the Orbx ones. If you want to prefix then you may want to consider what I do. I only prefix Airports and libraries required for freeware 3rd party addons. What you have done is prefix alphabetically and sequentially which XP logic will then lace alphabetically in the scenery_pack. The XP correct sequencing is: Top down 1.3rd party airports 2. Global Airports 3. Orbx TE series addons with London Landmarks if you have TEGB South 4. Libraries 5. Ortho4xp overlay files 6.Ortho4xp orthos files 7. Worldwide 3rd part mesh. As you can see from your submitted scenery_packs, it means r=that the correct layering will not happen. Take Global Airports for example. It should be placed directly under your last 3rd party airport which is LOWI and directly under Global Airpoprts should be your TEGB addons. Your prefixes have made TEGB addons above Global Airports. if you want me to make it all correct for you I am willing to do so, but need you to remove all the prefixes except the zzz ones., and if you take up my suggestion, thenleave the Aerosoft airports as is because Aerosoft begins with A anyway. Leave LOWI as is. Label all your libraries with Library- and then run XP and exit. Then attach your new sceneru_packs.ini and I will do it for you. my "prefix" pics: 3rd party freeware Airports. My "prefix" for 3rd party Libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuartygr Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Jon, thank you very much for making this better to understand and i think i see what your saying but i will include my new ini file for your perusal along with snips of my custom scenery folder on its layout. Just for info i opened XP11 using the format on the ini file attached and my Orbx Airport for Edinburgh EGPH is showing as Laminars default airport....just when you think you know...lol Much Appreciated scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 @Stuartygr If you look at your scenery_packs.ini you have placed the EGPH airport below Global Airports so Global Airports will mask your EGPH and display the default one. The .ini looks much better, but besides the incorrect layering of EGPH and EGLC and LOWI_A x2 you haven't put London landmarks above the TEGB addons as it is required for TEGB South plus a couple of other issues that needed changing. I have made the necessary changes for you. scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuartygr Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi Jon, Much appreciated for the guidance on how to layer properly and it works a treat. When adding new scenery the file moves about but with your guidance i know now how to resolve it. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
