mtn1794 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Just a quick note: With vector installed, the default flight planner is very, very slow and even freezes up. With vector removed, it's back to normal again. Bruce Marten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianV Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I was wondering the same, for odd reasons the P3D v5 planner seems suddenly very slow, hadn't realized that vector could be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpol471 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I also found this problem caused by Vector and my case depends on it from FTX_VECTOR-EXX.Waiting for a solution I did this procedure:since the Enable in Scenery Library of P3D 5 cannot be removed from FTX_VECTOR-EXX with Orby AddonOrganizer I deleted FTX_VECTOR-EXX and then reinstalled it manually in P3D 5 Scenery Library with Add Area and when I have to make a flight planner first I remove the Enable for FTX_VECTOR-EXX + OK then I do the flight Planner and at the end I put the Enable to FTX_VECTOR-EXX + OK.

Guest Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Totally agree so I have removed Vector and all works well now, but...I do not know if the land bridge anomally in TE NCA now has something to do with Vector being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Same here, default flightplanner almost unusable for me with Vector installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperwarner8 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Same here, I had to disable vector as even selecting a gate in the P3D menu was really slow and sometimes CTD Now that i have disabled vector it runs fast Hope for a fix soon, i love Orbx and don't want to have to keep Vector disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Well.....With HF2 and Vector reinstalled "the default flight planner is very, very slow and even freezes up". Something is definately not good within Vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Any word on this from the devs? Or is FTX Vector just moved over to v5 and now finally definitively discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winstonwolf Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Same here , with Vector installed, P3D gets stuck while choosing the Airport or an Plane. Totally slow . At the Moment i uninstalled Vector and wait for an Hotfix from Orbx . Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee H Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Very strange, I had the same problem, then I discovered my insertion points in FTX Central were incorrect, so I put them back to where they are supposed to be, synched everything and it seems like everything clicked correctly in my sceneries, and the next time I planned a route it loaded in no time. Could it all be due to a layering problem? I'll try it out on some more upcoming flights and check back here. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erv/erv49 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Same here, simply removed Vector. Spent several hours trying to over come problems with Vector, hopefully a fix is down road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use what is suggested here in the forums which is place Orbx Airports and Regions below your lowest addon scenery and Orbx Global and openLC below Airports and Regions. Then run Sync Simulator. FTX Central will place everything including Vector in the right layer. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack34 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have the same issue. It’s very unusable right now. Once I remove vector the issue is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hello, when P3D v5 loads for the first time, it seems to index all the Vector files, which extends the loading time. If you open the Windows Performance Manager at its Disk page, you can see this happening. It does this only once in each P3D v5 session. Unfortunately, it seems that making a flightplan triggers the same undesirable effect, which does indeed slow the process to a crawl. I don't know why P3D v5 does this but there is a very easy way to stop it. Before you begin your flight planning, on the same scenario page, open the Options\add-ons menu, because you will all of course have installed Vector into P3D v5 using the add-ons method, and remove the tick from the Vector box. You will then be able to create your flightplan in good time and before you launch your flight, revisit the add-ons list and replace the tick in the Vector box. This is slightly inconvenient and may add as much as 20 seconds to the flight planning procedure but must be better than hoping that the next iteration of P3D v5 will address this odd behaviour.

TextRich Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I purchased P3D 5.2 for the first time last weekend after years of using FSX. I do not have Orbx Global Vectors in the P3D Add-On option - I am guessing that is for an older version of v5. However, in the Scenery Library, leaving Orbx!VECTOR_3DV5_EXX checked causes the flight planner to be very slow, whether creating a complex flight or loading a flight from a planner. The planner/sim also hangs if I tell the planner to move my aircraft to the starting location. Unchecking _EXX before planning and then rechecking it after planning helps a lot. Like Nick said, it is an extra 20 seconds or so to re-check _EXX but it beats waiting ~5 minutes total when leaving _EXX checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Why is anyone using Vector with P3D v5? I seem to have read in the forum that it is no longer necessary. I have not installed it. Am I missing something? Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hello, what the "Orbx Store" says is: This version specifically for P3Dv5 is a derivative of the original Vector release. It goes on to explain in some detail exactly what it is and why the customer might like to use it. Prepar3D v5 itself contains a completely new build of the default landscape and airports, the first time this has happened since the release of its predecessor, FSX. However, while Vector uses the same Open Street Map database, it’s features are more configurable (via the control panel) and uses custom road and shoreline textures, which integrate better with our other Global products. The main difference to the original version of Vector is the removal of the adjusted airport elevations for default airports. This component is not compatible with Prepar3D v5, which uses current and more accurate layouts compared to the original Vector database. Moreover, hundreds of airport ICAOs have changed in Prepar3D v5, which would cause duplicate airports to be displayed at those locations when using Vector’s airports.

TextRich Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thank you for the clarification @Nick Cooper. So basically if we want maximum fidelity with other Orbx add-ons, add Orbx's Vectors. If we have only Orbx Vectors and nothing else, it would make sense to disable it and use P3D's built-in vectors instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
