resolved ESSA blurry ground texture P3d V5.1

[weberchr73]

Hello.

I need your help on this topic as I spend now a day trying to set ESSA up on a fresh P3d v5.1 installation and all the topics that I found and followed do not fix the issue for me. The issue itself is know in the forum and I tried to get ESSA running as follows:

1. Create a Library for "Object Flow" in Orbx Central

2. Install Object Flow via Orbx Central

3. Start P3d and Enable the "Object Flow" AddOn 

4. Quit the Sim and install ESSA to my previously created "Airports" library

5. Start P3d, enable ESSA and select  ESSA Gate 14 as the airport

6. Start the flight ...( and start to get a depression ;-) )

 

I tried this steps in various combinations with different libraries on different partitions of the PC, nothing helped so far.

 

The same issue I had when installing ESSA for the first time on P3d V5.0

Somehow I got it sorted then by following the steps in the forum topics, but this time with P3d V5.1 I'm out of luck so far.

 

Is there a way to find out why "Object Flow" appears to be not working?

My understanding is that the issue is caused by the fact that for any reason "Object Flow" is not doing it's job.

 

Best regards

Christian

I have exactly the same problem with LEAS and LEBB (I installed only these 2 airports so far). It is also a fresh P3dv5.1 install with a hotfix.

I uninstalled Orbx Libraries from P3dv5 folder and installed into Orbx Library and everything is back to normal but maybe just reinstalling Libraries will help.

 

Thanks

Thank yo for your support!

After moving the Orbx Library to the Sim directory, uninstalling ESSA and install it again from a fresh download it is now working.

 

Have a good day and thank you again!

The problem is (also facing it) was the fact that ObjectFlow isn't being added to "Scenery Library". Solution is simple instead of installing/reinstalling

 

Go to the ObjectFlow folder (depend where you set the library as ObjectFlow is not installed in default P3D folder - in my case library is set to below folder) :

 

C:\Users\[YourName]\Orbx Library\p3dv5\Orbx ObjectFlow

 

copy this folder to 

 

C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\

 

delete in this folder /bin folder

 

and edit add-on.xml the path pointing the path to your library ObjectFlow folder path.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
  <AddOn.Name>Orbx ObjectFlow</AddOn.Name>
  <AddOn.Description>Allows Orbx scenery to display dynamic content.</AddOn.Description>
  <AddOn.Component>
    <Category>DLL</Category>
    <Path>C:\Users\[YourName]\Orbx Library\p3dv5\Orbx ObjectFlow\bin\Orbx_ObjectFlow_v3.dll</Path>  
    <DLLType>PDK</DLLType>
    <DLLStartName>module_init</DLLStartName>
    <DLLStopName>module_deinit</DLLStopName>
  </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

 

SAVE

 

And it's DONE. Anyway Orbx should investigate WHY libraries are not being added to P3Dv5.

This didn't work for me. Rather the following did in P3dV5.2HF1

 

1. Uninstalled ESSA, Orbx Libraries and Orbx Object Flow.

2. Installed ESSA, which installed the Libraries as well.

3. Re Installed Object flow last.

 

Restarted P3D and all working now.

 

P.S. Location of  Orbx Libraries / P3Dv5

 

E:\Orbx Library\p3dv5

D:\Prepar3D v5

Unfortunately this and the prior solution didn't work for me. The P3d splash screen appears and then a few seconds later it crashes. Bummer because I was really hoping this would be the solution to my ills. I appreciate you posting it though!
