HappyCactus Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi, I purchased the UK scenery and installed it on an external hard drive to save space on my pc. Everything was working fine - scenery/airports etc. I forgot to connect the hard drive and started Xplane. Closed down and restarted with the hard drive connected. The scenery works fine but now the airport buildings are missing. If I don’t connect the hard drive I get the airport buildings but not the scenery. Any ideas as I don’t want to reinstall the scenery again. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I would say from what you've said, uninstall and reinstall is the easiest and quickest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCactus Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 This is the second time it’s happened, I have reinstalled the scenery the first time but it take such a long time to install each part of the UK scenery I’m hoping there is a quicker fix.

Jon Clarke Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Not really any other option I am afraid. There maybe some details missing so first of all i suggest that you try a Verify Files option via Orbx Central. Which airport are the buildings missing from? All airports?

Sentry11 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I maybe out to lunch here but the ini may have become rearranged, or not layered correctly on hard disk disconnect and connect thus the missing airport buildings and vice a versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCactus Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi Jon, it seems to be the airports in the UK when using the Orbx uk scenery - tried three so far. Will try to re-verify and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCactus Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Re-verifying the scenery works - the airport buildings are visible. Saves me a lot of time re-installing if (when) I forget to attach the hard drive next time. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help The other side of the coin is that if you have Orbx backups enabled, an uninstall/reinstall is pretty much the same as verify files anyway.

Jon Clarke Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 If a backup is available then that copy is used for both the Verify Files option and also for any reinstall after an uninstall. There is the chance that if initially the original download/backup is corrupted in any way, then the problems will be perpetuated unless the backup copy is removed.
