mfannee Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hi! I just saw that some products are now compatible with P3Dv6 (like Base Pack, vector, openLC Europe), which is really great news! But... Orbx Central doesn't see my P3Dv6... (it did see P3Dv4 and P3Dv5 when those were still installed on my drive) Anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullfox Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Yes, and several more products are now also available on v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullfox Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 So far however none of the products for North America or Oceania show as compatible with v6. Looks like they are starting with Global and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullfox Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I'm going to download the personal version next week and then we'll see. I'm going to put it on a 2tb SSD that I installed for Xplane 12. I loaded Xplane 12 on it but then lost interest in that sim so almost 2tb free. My 2tb C drive, which is an M2 drive has v5.4 and all the Orbx on it so only has a little under 200gb free. Still not sure of the process for enabling all the v5.4 add ons for v6 so being cautious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 it can be done by fooling central but I am waiting for an official route... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullfox Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 So am I. However, there are a bunch of non A2A add ons like Carenado and A2A. I can work on getting those moved over while waiting for Orbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressJetXE Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think in the past Orbx had to upgrade the Orbx central in order for it to recognize the new sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, to keep you up to date: The only way to make the necessary tests of Orbx Central is to activate some of the products for P3D v6 in Orbx Direct. The only difference this time versus P3D v4 to P3D v5, it that the last time, they were immediately deactivated, so most customers missed it. You would find that they cannot yet be obtained, even if you tried to do so. Please bear with us while we work on this, it is not quite as straightforward as throwing a switch. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullfox Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I am going to install a personal copy of v6 some time in the coming week. I will report back what Central does after that. Also, one of the products I don't have in v5 is EGTB So if it becomes available in v6 I will buy it and see what happens. I bought Xplane12 earlier this year but after trying it decided not to go further with it so never bought any Orbx or other add ons for XP12. It shows up in Central for me and shows the Orbx products I never bought as available, but I guess that's a different situation with setting up v6. I very much appreciate the work you guys are doing to make v6 available and am in no big hurry. Setting up v6 is going to be one of this winter's projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toorop58 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) On another Forum someone wrote : "It is annoying as all Orbx scenery has to be installed using Orbx Central. You can't download and install a package yourself. Your product is captured by Orbx" I totally agree : One particularly unfair behaviour of Orbx is to describe products as compatible with P3D V6 in Orbxfdirect writing you will need to use OrbxCentral to install the products while OrbxCentral still does not work for V6 I do not even know this can be considered as legal : the compatibility with V6 indication should be removed until OrbxCentral is available.

toorop58 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Even if it appears that for he moment, despite their are announced compatible, you cannot buy products for the V6, what was the need to indicate in the store they are ? First : to put in the website considered as a store a false information without other clear indications is not correct After that, this may lead people to buy V6 and finally make the constatation they cannot access the products Definitely Orbx should not have mentionned the products as compatible with V6 before they really are [url=https://goopics.net/i/p6vn8j][img]https://i.goopics.net/800/p6vn8j.jpg[/img][/url] Edited October 11, 2023 by toorop58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a problem of faith and I don't mind if they will solve it or not : it's a problem of disrespect of the customer showing false informations on a commercial website I have been defending Orbx when people were complaining the products were not compatible saying thet needed time, but I cannot accept without reaction to see them showing their products as compatible on the store(i.e. OrbxDirect) while they know it's impossible to install them without Orbx Central being compatible : there was absolutely no need to mention V6 on the products website before getting Orbx Central compatible with V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick Cooper Posted October 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hello, to expand a little more, for now, all of the products that were labelled as compatible with P3D v6 have had that label removed. As a reminder of what I already posted, they were only labelled as such to enable some testing, there was never any intention of creating the "problem of disrespect of the customer showing false informations on a commercial website". It was an unintended consequence, now corrected and apologies are offered to everyone who was affected. Anyone who bought the products for the sole reason that they wanted to use them in P3D v6 and who is unable or unwilling to use the workaround to install them, is entitled to a refund. However, I think that the release of the new version of Orbx Central that recognises P3D v6 may not be too far away, so it might be a better choice to wait for a little while longer. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrunge Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I wish everyone would turn the whinging volume down a bit and give Orbx the time to prepare a product that will be reliable and excellent. They have ALWAYS done the right things by customers and although this particular issue is not exactly curing cancer, it understandably may take some time to catch up to P3Dv6. Just IMHO of course... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 gotta say Nick you have explained this many times so far, let's all just wait a little while, at least Orbx are doing something, most devs have said 'we aint going there'...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your answer. I appreciate I have been defending Orbx from the begining saying after Prepar3D V6 was released we had to expect quietly for your products being compatible (if ther is any doubt you can find my previous posts). I think you shoud have done the same before puting the label V6 on the products Even if it was not possible to buy directly a V6 version yet, the problem was for people ho may have bought V6 thinking they were able to use their Orbx products or people like me who own V4 and V5 and may have bought Orbx products for these versions thinking they were also able to use them in their V6 release. As there was absolutely no need or reason to display this label yet, I felt I had to react... Everything OK now : many thanks to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a340500 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Just my 2 cents, I too purchased Prepar3dv6 but not yet installed it. Am waiting on official compatibility from not just Orbx but other favorites like QW, FSLabs, and PMDG to name a few. All apart from QW will eventually get there but may take some time - given other priorities at the moment.

AlexB Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I Have also purchased V6 but am yet to install it. Given the amount of items I have already in P3DV5 from Orbx, I don't want to forgo the excellent work provided since AUv1.... I can wait....

Airwolf Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Dear Orbx Team, Can you guys at least get the global products for P3Dv6. I know it is all about the ROI on the product. I run a business too, but I will be glad even if you charge for P3Dv6 (P3D is now at v6.1+). But please do not tell me there has to be "testing done". I know if you guys charge, then you will have to provide support but I am sure there can be a happy medium where we all can reach and it is beneficial to both parties. Thanks Edited January 18 by Airwolf 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzac1977 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 When will Orbx just come out and say that they will not be supporting V6.
