darem Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Good morning from Austria. Can someone please tell me what we gain from Vector in V5? I have been told that coastline and road networks are covered pretty well in V5, and in general the vector data is much better. So, what does Vector bring to V5 then? Apart from prolongued loading times, of course :-) I have the free update from V4, and I already installed it in V5, but didn't see a noticeable difference where I flew. So I deinstalled it.

Nick Cooper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hello, your choice of action makes perfect sense. As ever, there is a compromise. Some of the Vector data in P3D v5 introduces anomalies that are fixed by Orbx Vector. Some anomalies in Orbx Vector are fixed by the vector data in P3D v5. Overall, Orbx Vector fixes more than it breaks but if you see no difference, your answer is simple, you don't need it. In your position however, I would have left it installed but disabled, thus available if one of the anomalies appears. LM seem to be fixing the anomalies, but they can only do this if customers take the time to report them. As stated in the release announcement and on the Orbx product page, it may take some time.

Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hello, if it is installed inside the simulator, there are three Vector entries to untick, you will find them under Africa. If installed into an Orbx Central Library, there is one entry in the Add-ons list, please untick that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Got it!! Thanks!! I want to try some comparison, but not remove it just yet. EDIT:::: It seems that I can't uncheck any of the vector files? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator49 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hello RobC, What I have done is just to untick all entries in "vector configuration tool". Make sure to click on "app[y" button. I too am unable to untick boxes within scenery. Regards Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nick wrote, since yours are in an Orbx Central library, you need to uncheck Vector in “Add ons”. I think it’s just above Scenery Library in the menu where you found Scenery Library.

Euphonist Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I also unchecked the Orbx Global Vector. I had a lot of trouble which is gone now: Today I landed on Salt Lake City (KSLC) and the whole airport got houses, bushes and trees. Terrible: At Tanger: At Hawaii: And Brussels Airport (EBBR): I hope that there will come an update soon to resolve these issues and we can check the global vector again. I know that the people of Orbx do their utmost best. Have a nice flight, Wil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
