solved repeating of LPPD add-on enabling request

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so let me first start with congratulations to Orbx team and partners for marvellous add-ons. I'm a flightsim enthusiast for decades, this spring I migrated from FSX to P3Dv5 (with hardware upgrade too, of course) and now I enjoy in lot of Orbx and non-Orbx great products. It seems to me right now that the Orbx label gives the most stable scenery product quality and I also experienced the smallest percentage of post-installation troubles if Orbx Central take care about the installation. 

 

Therefore I was surprised after I installed LPPD (MK-Studios/Orbx) a few days ago: P3D asked me if I want to enable this add-on every time when I started the sim. OK, it was not really a big deal, but I was curious what is going on because, as I said, I already have a lot of scenery add-ons (included a few from MK-Studios) and none of them behaves like that.

Well, I found some forum topics with similar problem, and there was a suggestion for checking if something is messed in add-ons.cfg. Mine seemed fine, but then I noticed that it says:


PATH=C:\Users\xx\Orbx Library\p3dv5\LPPD Ponta Delgada Joao Paulo II Airport

 

It was not correct because Orbx Central installed the add-on into


...\Orbx Library\p3dv5\LPPD Ponta Delgada João Paulo II Airport


(not sure if it will be seen here, so I note that João has a Portuguese ã with tilda – it is a first time that some installer created me a folder with non-English alphabet letter)


I decided to try manually rename the folder name to „add-ons.cfg version“ (changed ã with English one) – and voila: there is no repeated add-on enabling request any more. And everything else seems to work fine too.


I hope this experience will help someone too.

 

Regards,

 

János
