Is there an alternative to central to download a scenery?

Hi all,

I recently purchased the EHAM scenery for XP 12 and actually cannot download it. I'm running mac os Ventura so the download link does not work. The issue is within Orbx central EHAM is not showing up at all. Central is connected though to my account and only SAM appears in "my products"

Any clue on how to download this scenery?

 

Thanks!!!

I may add that the store tab shows nothing (black screen) and the download icon states that there is nothing to download

 Hello,

I can see all of your products waiting for you in your Orbx Direct account.

You must log on to Orbx Central using the same email address that you used when you made the purchases.

Hello,

I see that all of your items are in the same account and that it now carries the same email address that you are using here.

You will be able to access all of the products that you bought if you now log on to Orbx Central using that email address.

I did that. Changing back to my former email address (which soon will no longer be available). But logging in Central with that one did not change anything. 3 last bought items not showing up

Thanks

Hi Nick,

How can I know the email address linked to my products?

I tried 3 times with possible adresses and it did not work

Thanks much

Can you start Central and see if EHAM now appears? Enabling visibility on MacOS was overlooked in the set up.

Other point. I did not find any user guide????

Thanks!

In Orbx Central on the EHAM page is a link to support at Fly Tampa.  https://www.flytampa.org/support.html

EDIT

  I just installed EHAM (to an outside Library but that shouldn't make any difference)

 My scenery packs ini is different.  The order of FlyTampa EHAM's four entries should be (from top to bottom)

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_Amsterdam_0_airport/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_Amsterdam_3_mesh/

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_Amsterdam_1_overlays/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/FlyTampa_Amsterdam_2_default_overlays/

 

It looks like you have the mesh entry below the overlays.  Maybe this will help.  I toured the airport and don't see any mesh issues on my setup.

Thanks Rob for your response. You may be correct as it works for you although I had understood that mesh files should always be below the rest……strange 

will give it a try….

As far as the user guide is concerned , a support page ( here more a FAQ page) does not prevent from delivering a user/installation document. To my knowledge, this is the first time I do not see this

Fly Tampa has their own type of support.  I'll make a note of this option in Orbx Central basically giving an error message when you click on User Guide and there isn't one available.  Here's what my scenery packs ini looks like in total.

Thanks much Rob. Will try with your order.

last question: did you change it? As the order I have now is the one defined by the FlyTampa installer 

thanks

 

No, not at all.  This was the order I saw after installing via Orbx Central.  I did first start the sim and go to EHAM first before checking the scenery packs ini.

Weird…. I might have done something wrong

If you installed directly to the XP sim itself instead of an outside Library that might explain it?   I'll try that myself and see.

 

EDIT

  I uninstalled EHAM from my outside Orbx Library I had set up for XP12 scenery.  Checked the sim and the scenery _packs.ini to be sure and made sure no Fly Tampa folders were left behind in the sim.

  Installed EHAM to the main XP12 / Custom Scenery folder and took another look in the sim.  Looks good here and the new scenery_packs.ini file is an exact duplicate of the one I posted above.

Maybe you have another EHAM installed from 3rd party or as part of a larger addon?

 

Installed into the main sim:

Hi Rob,

Changing manually the scenery order in scenery pack.ini like you made it. Thanks!

But I confirm the auto installation did not rank the files the same way, this indicating there XP 12 4th direct. 

Problem solved anyway

Thanks for your kind support

Herve
