Bill Bingham Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I have everything installed into a Library disk outside the Prepar3d folder. If I need to completely reinstall Prepar3d from scratch, say after a Windows reinstall, and the Library disk is intact, would I be able to re-link the files, or will they need to be re-downloaded again to install? I have half a terrabyte of data in the Library disk, and downloading that much would be quite a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hello, welcome to the forums. An Orbx Central Library can be linked back to a new version of P3D using the Sync Simulator function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrap23 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I had to completely reinstall P3Dv5 HF2. All of my Orbx sceneries are in a separate P3Dv5 library. Orbx Central shows all my sceneries installed but they are not in the P3Dv5 scenery list or add on list. I verified files using Orbx Central which confirms my sceneries are installed. It appears Central is just confirming the sceneries are installed in my Orbx Library NOT P3Dv5. I've tried adding the Orbx sceneries using Add Area in the P3D Scenery List. Nothing works. What is the correct way to get my Orbx sceneries working again? I thought that was the advantage of creating a separate Orbx Library outside the P3D root. When uninstalling P3Dv5, I did remove all folders associated with my P3Dv5 install as recommended in the LM P3D guide. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hello, verify files should add back all the necessary entries to the add-ons.cfg file. Could you attach a copy of C:\programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\add-ons.cfg please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrap23 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Wow Nick that was a quick response! I think I requested support in the wrong area. I did a search and just added to this topic. My apology. At any rate here is my add-ons.cfg. It doesn't appear to have an Orbx entry add-ons.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hello, thanks. Can you confirm that you have added back your Orbx Central Library folder as a Library in Orbx Central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrap23 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sorry I'm slow...Orbx Central shows my Library as E:\Orbx Library. My actual path is E:\Orbx Library\p3dv5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 That should be fine. Could you now attach a copy of the Orbx Central log please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 You can open it on the Orbx Central\Settings\Help page and then save a copy to attach to a post. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Many thanks. I have moved the topic to the Orbx central forum, as it seems to me, as a non-expert, that Orbx Central is behaving oddly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use the Sync Simulator function in Orbx Central Help area. The Central User Guide under "What does ‘Sync Simulator’ do?" does give a list of operations that looked like they would solve my problem and they did! The Central User Guide, as expected, is full of good information. It would be helpful if there was a section on "What to do after reinstalling your simulator:" This is what I was looking for and the index nor body of the Guide seem to address this. Thanks again!
