Martin Davis Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Good Afternoon All, Please can any one help or advise. I have recently bought TrueEarth EU Spain South SD for X-Plane 11. Once loaded, I have noticed that the smaller roads are missing the default grey colour tarmac ? Motorways / highways appear to have grey tarmac but the smaller roads do not. The smaller roads are transparent and near invisible, but I want the default grey tarmac. All my other great Orbx products (UK, USA, Canary Islands and Balearic) have the grey tarmac apart from this Spain South scenery. I think I must have done something wrong because I could not find any similar posts on the forum. I have re-verified TE Spain South SD but that did not seem to work. I have also checked in Orbx central, the control panel, which shows I ticked 'default roads'. Does anyone have any suggestions what's happened ? I have attached a few pictures to show you what I see. Many thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 HI Martin Please post a pic of yourXP11 graphics settings and also attach a text copy of your scenery_packs.ini. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Davis Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Hi Jon, Thank you for your help with this. As requested, please find attached copies of my XP11 graphics settings for my monitor and VR. The picture with the higher setting graphics is for my monitor and the lower is for my VR settings. I have also attached my scenery_packs.ini I use xOrganizer for my scenery so they are not all running together at the same time. I categorise my flight scenery to Europe, USA, Africa, Rest of World. You know, less resources on my PC. Many thanks Martin scenery_packs.ini Edited December 20, 2021 by Martin Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I have rearranged your scenery_packs.ini for you. Drop this attached copy into your Custom Scenery folder to replace your existing one. scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Davis Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Hi Jon, Thank you very much for re-arranging my scenery. I am away from my PC until tomorrow. I will let you know the outcome once updated. Many thanks Martin Edited December 22, 2021 by Martin Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Davis Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi Jon, Unfortunately, It did not work. I dropped your rearranged scenery_pack.ini into mine and tested it but no change. I kept your scenery pack in my custom scenery file and then went to Orbx Central, re-ticked default roads and verified but it still doesn't work. The smaller roads are still transparent like before. My xOrganiser plugin normally puts all scenery files into the correct order but I am not sure why this scenery file is not loading correctly. I checked again and all my other Orbx scenery include tarmac roads. Strange! Thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Can you try this? Open the TE Southern Spain Overlay folder. In there should be 2 roads files. One is roads_default and the other roads_x Remove the roads_x temporarily and then use Orbx Central./configure (for TE South Spain) and click on Transparent roads and then Default roads immediately afterwards. See what happens Just a note to say that the organiser does not traditionally work well with True Earth addons, but I believe that the very latest version is much more compatible.

Martin Davis Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 Good Morning Jon, Merry Christmas! I have tried again by removing the roads_x file and then use Orbx Central / configure (for TE South Spain) and click on Transparent roads and then Default roads immediately afterwards and then re-verified but when I loaded XP11 the roads are still transparent. I still did not work. Do you have any other suggestion ? Many thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Try removing the 2 roads files from the Overlay folder and then try the Verify Files again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Davis Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hi Jon, I have just noticed that there are 3 road files in my Southern Spain Overlay folder. Should there be 2 or 3 road files ? I have attached a picture below. I will delete all 3 road files and verify again. Thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 3 roads is correct, my error. Delete all 3 and run the Verify files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Davis Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Good Morning Jon, Just an update. I deleted all 3 road files and verified but it still doesn’t work? The smaller roads are still transparent. Do you have Orbx South Spain? If so, are your roads tarmac? Thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I attach 2 pics of what I see near Gibraltar. There are clearly some tarmac and some transparent roads (mainly the minor roads) I have to assume only major roads are affected by the selection of default or transparent. I cannot contact the Dev as he is not available to comment but I will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wroblewski Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It does seem the toggle has somewhat got confused here and are possibly labelled incorrectly (nothing you've done, but our fault). One suggestion that may work is if you have the Canaries or Balearic Islands, you can toggle the roads on in that, and then copy the Roads folder to the folders John has shown above. We're currently beta testing a fix for TE Spain, so we'll get this one looked at as well. (Most are currently away on the Christmas break).

Martin Davis Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thank you Jon and Tony for looking into this. After looking at Jon’s pictures there is definitely a problem. Hopefully this can be fixed soon when the rest of the Orbx team return from there Christmas break. Thanks guys and Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Davis Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Jon and Tony, Great News! I finally have all tarmac roads. I also own both Orbx Canary and Balearics Island sceneries. I followed Tony suggestions and copied the 2 road files from the Balearics Overlay file and replaced them with the 3 road files in Spain South overlays. Hooray! It worked. So the problem is definitely with Orbx Spain South road files. I hope they are able to rectify this issue soon. Thank you for your help with this. Much appreciated and happy flying!
