RE: Orbx Region updates for Prepar3D v5


Recommended Posts

Since the topic, for no explained reason, was locked considering the issue(s) with airport elevations remains unresolved, I'll ask here.

 

How truly compatible are your products with v5 if you have to make all these modifications?  Shouldn't these modifications be addressed before calling and releasing a product compatible for a sim?

The topic was locked and responses hidden as it was meant to serve as an advisory only of when regions, and specifically some of the included airports, were made compatible with P3Dv5 due to how the airport exclusions changed.

 

Now, what specific airport and which region are you referring to?  I looked at KHIO & KSTS (payware & region included) as you had mentioned and I don't see any elevation issues.

Regarding KSTS.  My issue is that the product has not been in updated in a number of years and does not include the RWY extension which was completed in 2014.  Maybe giving some of your older products a little "face lift" is in order.

 

Here are at least examples of issues after installing vector - openLC S./N. America - N./S. California - Pacific N into P3Dv5.1 w/ HF:

 

Please be advised that I have NO other payware for these airports installed.  Issue does not exist without Orbx products.

Hello,

Vector for P3D v5 has nothing in it that affects airport elevations.

Are you perhaps trying to use Vector for P3D v4 in P3D v5?

Here is how KHIO looks in PNW and P3D v5.

This is KSBA in SCA

In both cases, Vector for P3D v5 is installed and active.

Hello:

 

My issue may not be vector.  However it might be another Orbx product since I have no other add-on scenery at HIO or SBA.

 

In your picture of HIO Nick, HIO is out dated.  HIO has parallel RWYs 31L/R which are updated in vanilla P3Dv5.

 

I do not have P3Dv4 installed on my computer.  As such, I can only assume the Orbx installer automatically - and properly - installed the current and correct versions of my Orbx products.

 

When installed P3Dv5, I did it from a fresh Windows 10 install so there was no trace of v4 on the computer.  

 

Thanks.

Hello,

my picture of HIO is the PNW version, as seen in P3D v5.

This is why I wrote

I did this because you indicated that that is what you were using.

Hello,

your Insertion Point needs to be correct, your scenery order needs to be as it should be and

there must not be any add-ons that interfere.

If you can achieve that, you will see the same as I do, because you will have the same files

configured in the same way.

Thank you.  How do I correct Insertion Points?  All my add-on sceneries are above Orbx.  It's possible some of the Orbx points are in the wrong order perhaps.

Nick:

Below are the Orbx Global And Regions packages I own.

 

Each of these has an order in which they are to be installed. Beyond that, each has multiple "layers".  Can you please direct me to a location where I can view not only the order of which each is to be installed, but the order of the layers for each package.

Hello,

Orbx Central is very good at layering the Orbx Scenery as it should be.

You could visit the Insertion Point page and set Airports and Regions to under

the lowest of your other addons and openLC below Airports and Regions.

Wait for the blue notification to turns green and it should be done.

You don't need the purple entry, you can delete or disable that.

Thank you Nick.  Did as you suggested but I'm having same issues at KHIO.  KSBA is no factor.

Hello,

I think I can more or less replicate your problem at KHIO by disabling the PNW version

and therefore trying to use the P3D v5 default version with PNW.

Thank you Nick.  What is your suggestion?  If it's to disable KHIO in PNW, how do I do that?

Hello,

I am wondering if in fact you have disabled or not enabled the PNW version?

Issue resolved Nick.  I am running FSAerodata.  Little did I know, the program includes BGL files.  Those files need to be placed UNDER ALL Orbx products.  Thank you for helping me explore.  Now, could we get the Orbx team to update airports PLEASE.  Thanks again, cheers.
