kronovan Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hello all, 1st time posting here. I did a search, but after wading through 4 slow to load webpages, couldn't find anything related. I found the FSX Orbx Configuration Tool shortcut in my Steam > Tools library, so I downloaded it. However, whenever I launch it I receive the following error message: "It appears you do not have any Orbx products for FSX: Steam Edition installed. The Orbx Control Panel will now quit." I recently bought the Orbx Meigs Field DLC in the Steam summer sale and when I check the "Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition" > Properties > [DLC] tab, I see both "FSX Orbx Asset Library" and "FSX: Steam Edition - Meigs Field" listed. So I'm wondering what exactly constitutes an Orbx product as far this tool is concerned? I also own Orbx Pacific North West, Orbx Pacific Fjords, Orbx Southern Alaska and Orbx Wales. Perhaps as important a question; where do I get a similar tool for my non-Steam purchased Orbx scenery? I have next to no configuration options in Orbx Central - certainly nothing like what I see in the screenshots for that Steam FSX configuration tool. As well, I've checked my Orbx sub folder within \FSX and there's nothing installed that resembles a config tool. Before purchasing Orbx PNW I was using UTX USA v2 for Washington state and that scenery has an excellent config tool and more importantly; Seattle city looked as good or better and allowed for superior frame rates. That of course was in part due to me disabling 2 frame-hogging features in the scenery; residential streets and traffic on roads other than major ones & freeways. I'd really like to similarly throttle back a some of the scenery details for Orbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello, you cannot manage Steam products developed by Orbx using Orbx Central and you cannot manage Orbx products using Steam. You can of course use either matching facility for the product in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't I use the Steam FSX Orbx Configuration Tool to configure Meigs field though - it's an Orbx product I purchased via Steam? Despite that product being successfully installed under my Steam DLC, the config tool doesn't recognize it and only gives me the option of quitting it.
