TallTanBarbie Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hello -- I've got land appearing in rectangular blocks in the water off of the shore of the southeast coast of SE Georgia and the Atlantic coast of Florida. I have lots of Orbx terrain and TE Florida installed. So far, I've tried deleting the scenery.cfg file, deleting all the scenery, and re-installing the default and Orbx scenery, but the problem remains. I upgraded from v5.2 via the client / content / scenery delete and re-install method. Any suggestions? I can't figure out what's wrong, thanks scenery.cfg central.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTanBarbie Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Since no one bothered to reply, I had to figure this out myself. Installing P3Dv5.3 HF1 gave an opportunity to find out what was going on since I had to re-install. It was definitely an Orbx problem as it didn't happen with a "stock" P3D setup with no extra scenery and mesh installed. Yellowish, muddy looking land showed up again off the Florida coast after doing a resyncronise via Orbx Central. After lots of searching, I found this: To fix this, I did "Verify Files" on all the Base files including Vector and also LC North America. I then spent all day Friday sorting the scenery.cfg file in this order (http://c-aviation.net/fsx-scenery-library-order-Orbx-global/) with Lorby: scenery libraries (e.g. FlyTampa, 29Palms / other than Orbx) airport sceneries city and POI sceneries (e.g. landmarks) area sceneries (e.g. Aerosoft’s Night Environment) fotosceneries Addon Scenery FTXAA_ORBXLIBS FTXAA_YSCH FTX_AA_xxx (Orbx Airports – several entries) FTX_EU_xxx (scenerie europejskie – several entries) … (FTX NA, FTX AU) Orbx!OPENLC_EUROPEx (openLC Europe – several entries) Orbx!OPENLC_NAMERICAx (openLC for Northern America – several entries) Orbx!OPENLC_BASE (openLC base) other landclass add-ons (e.g. Scenery Tech – Africa) FreeMeshX-xxx (FreeMeshX folders or any other mesh you use – several entries) Edwards_AFB Berlin … (all named FSX sceneries) Asia Africa Orbx!VECTOR_OBJ Orbx!VECTOR_APT Orbx!VECTOR_CVX Orbx!VECTOR_EXX 1107 Base … (all numbered FSX sceneries) 0000 Base Orbx!VECTOR_AEC Default Scenery Default Terrain (optional / deselected!) FS9 World Scenery After all this sorting, I checked again to see if the Orbx!VECTOR_* files were placed together in the following order: Orbx!VECTOR_OBJ Orbx!VECTOR_CVX Orbx!VECTOR_EXX This finally worked. No more land off the coast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
