Herb J. Villers Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Dear All, I am using UK2000LondonCityXtreme and CardiffXtreme in connection with Orbx products. Every time, there is an Orbx Update ( even minor update ) this will “kill” UK2000LondonCityXtreme completely and merge with CardiffXtreme : see jpg Seams that Orbx reorganizes the P3D config file in order to get higher priority ( no Idea ) So I have completly uninstall “UK2000LondonCityXtreme” “UK2000CardiffXtreme”and install it again I had/have this problem in P3D 4.5 up to P3D V5 HF2 and this problem is only in connection with Orbx True Earth Britain South UK2000 sceneries (EGPH, EGAA etc ) outside Orbx True Earth Britain South scenery are working fine ( EGPH in ORXYScottland / EHAA und EGAC in Orbx NorthernIreland ) I am using : Orbx True Earth Britain South Orbx Base Pack Orbx Building HD Orbx Terraflora v2 Orbx looots of other Orbx sceneries Any idea how to solve this other than reinstalling ( in P3Dv4 I solved the Problem by using Orbx EGLC .. but this is not yet available in P3D v5 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hello, the best way to use UK2000 airports with TEGB is to remove all of the airports from TEGB and place their files outside the 05 scenery folder. Please note that there are some that are in TEGB but not in UK 2000. Once you have done that, if you run verify files for TEGB and all the airports are replaced, you can simply copy them all back in from your store and when highlighted by this process, delete them.

Christopher Low Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Are you aware that you can set an insertion point for all Orbx scenery packages, Herb? They do not automatically need to be placed at the top of your Scenery Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Nick Thank you for your help ! I was not aware,that the insertion point of all Orbx could be changed in Orbx Central . So I did this accto Christophers suggestion ... I think this is the solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb J. Villers Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 And here for all in detail : Open Orbx Central Click Setting ( the gear symbol ) click insertion point Orbx Airports and Regions Click Insert below … and here you can determine the insertion point below any 3rd party scenery ! By that all Orbx update etc will be placed below this defined insertion point and never interfere with any 3rd part scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi Christopher But despite doing this, wouldn't there be a duplication of airport elements? Would it take longer for the sim to load? I had understood that every Orbx bgl related to an airport should be placed off to avoid conflicts with 3rd party products.. I know there is a certain .bat file that can be created to place things back in order after an update but I can''t remember where I read that So by your saying, having UK 2000 airports above Orbx products is enough to match a good compatibility with no need to put Orbx bgls off? Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Low Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 To be honest, I am not sure about that, Carl. I have only recently started using Orbx TrueEarth photoscenery of Great Britain (instead of the Horizon scenery), and my own personal philosophy has always been to remove all other versions of the same airport to avoid any conflicts. In fact, I have been deleting the entire suite of default UK airports ever since I used FSX over a decade ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb J. Villers Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Actually this insertion point procedure described by christopher solves not only the problems with UK2000 and Orbx TEGB but also Flytampa EHAM in Orbx TENL , Taxi2gate KSEA in Orbx NorthPacific etc etc . I have also either experienced any longer loading time of P3D , dublication problems nor any other disadvantages . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
