Captjames748 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hello everyone, I purchased GCTS this morning and it seems to have made my Canaries Orbx Tenerife become a default scenery island. All the other islands are as they should be. The airport scenery of GCTS is beautiful by the way! Log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Please attach (not a photo) your scenery_packs.ini. Thanks It may well be a layering issue in your scenry_packs. I will adjust the scenery_pack as required. If that does not rectify the situation then you will need to ask Digital Design as it is their product.

francesco ripandelli Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 so the problem was the airport of Tenerife sud... I did a clean install of both and I followed the instructions for making the airport works with the main scenery of the island but still same problem. as the instructions said I delated the folder of digital design Tenerife v2 mesh and I put the two folders in costume scenery but there were already 2 folders with the same name...so I said to the computer to replace them with the new ones... but didn't work. maybe I had to merge the new files with the previews ones? now I am doing a new clean installation.. getting a bit stressed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 There is obviously an installation problem your end. It is not a product problem otherwise the forum would be full of reports like yours. You say you "deleted" the mesh part of Tenerife. I hope you mean you used Orbx Central to Uninstall . Deleting is not the correct way to do it as it will not remove all the data from that file. You have 2 entries for the same folder because an uninstall was not done. Are you installing onto the same drive as XP is installed or are you installing into a library?

francesco ripandelli Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 here there is my new scenery pack ini. Canary Islands work. but if I try to follow the installation guide to make the airport of Tenerife sud compatible.. it doesn't work. in the instructions they say that I have to do this: For compatibility with Orbx Canary, copy files from folder "Orbx TE Canary" in X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery and remove folder "Digital Design GCTS Tenerife v2 Mesh". the problems are this: inside the folder Orbx TE Canary there're two files (digital design gcts Tenerife v2 and Orbx c eu Spain canary..E_orthos). Inside the costume scenery folder there are already two files with the same name (this is not because of a wrong uninstall but because when Orbx installed the scenery he installed this two folders together with others). Since I can't have two files with the same name my pc asked me if I wanted to replace them with the new ones or to merge them, I said to replace but it didn't worked. my question is: did I had to merge them? and finally the instructions said that I had to remove the folder Digital Design GCTS Tenerife v2 Mesh... I did it by simply dropping it into the bin... you are telling me that I have to do something from the Orbx application? The scenery is installed onto the same drive of Plane. (now I don't have installed the airport... hoping to have some clear guidance on how to make it compatible) thanks scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 @francesco ripandelli -- As I also have Digital Design GCTS - Tenerife, maybe I can be of some help. First, do as the "Read Me" file instructs re old versions of Digital GCTS. Now, as you have the payware Orbx Canaries A-B-C folders and the "Orbx_A_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Airports" folder already installed, open up the payware "Digital Design GCTS_Tenerife v2_ORBX TE Canary Islands" folder and copy and paste the "Digital Design GCTS Tenerife v2" folder into your "Custom Scenery" folder. Copy the "Orbx_C_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Orthos" folder and paste into your "Custom Scenery" folder selecting "Replace" when instructed. Start XP Your "scenery_packs" ini file should be layered in the order somewhat like the following. SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Digital Design GCTS Tenerife v2/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Orbx_A_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Airports/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Global Airports/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Orbx_A_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Custom/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Orbx_B_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Overlay/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Orbx_C_EU_Spain_Canaries_TE_Orthos/ and hopefully, "GCTS - Tenerife" should now look something like the attached screenshots.

Sentry11 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 @Captjames748 -- This "SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Digital_Design_GCTS_Tenerife_v2_Mesh/" is for the default MESH. You don't require this as you already have Orbx for the Canaries installed. See above. Also I did a little surgery on your "scenery_packs" ini file and Jon may want to layer it further when he comes on. scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry11 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Well that's a corker. Could you attach your log.txt and scenery_packs ini files? Do you have "Runways follow terrain contours" checked? If "Digital_Design_GCTS_Tenerife_v2" and the Orbx Canaries were installed correctly it should look something like the attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captjames748 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Also where can I find "Runways follow terrain contours" ? **DISREGARD** Yes that box is checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 @Captjames748 -- The log.txt you attached, is not a complete log, it doesn't show XP loading the sceneries and other required info. When the log was generated, did XP crash? If "Runways follows terrain contours" was checked, and you are still having problems with elevated buildings and taxiways then Digital GCTS - Tenerife may have been installed incorrectly and you may have to do a clean reinstall of "Digital Design GCTS Tenerife v2".

Captjames748 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'm installing via Orbx Central so it'll install the mesh automatically. How can I install the scenery without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The "patches" are within the Digital Design addon files for GCTS for use with Orbx TE Canaries. Not an Orbx issued patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
