markwlee Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That means you have a PLC file duplicated. Pegleg Pete is there twice. So are all the other objects but if they're not animated you don't notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 alltough it is funny with these oddities, I must advice you to find where you have doubled up your textures, as exactly this kind of little things are a cause to let your fsX run into a brickwall on some occasions and also account for long loading times as the sim wants to load both and can't make it's mind up, so it's up to you fella's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmglads Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 How do you check up on duplicated textures? I guess there's a simple way, but it would be nice to know....OK I admit it - I have "3-arm Pegleg Pete" as well! Any advice appreciated from the experts. Ta.

IW11 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have the same problem, can suggest how we can find the duplicates? regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgunner Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Mark and Wolter - thanks for the warning - but I can only echo the two posts above [presumably also referring to Lismore?] How on earth do I track down the suspect files? Since Pegleg Pete behaves normally at other airfields, it would seem that something at Lismore must be responsible. But I've just combed the scenery and texture files in Addon Scenery/ Lismore FSX and can't see any duplicates - or, indeed, any file identifiable as Pegleg Pete. So what next? Delete Lismore and reinstall? This is important to me, because I'm having the exact PC sticky/slowdown problems Wolter describes, and I badly need any possible solution...

markwlee Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm not at my FSX PC but it will be a jar*PLC.bgl, possibly named jar_YLIS_PLC.bgl or jar_Lismore_PLC.bgl that's duplicated (could be *PLC1 or *PLC2 if there's more than 1 PLC for the scenery, too). Duplication of textures has no effect in this case. Thing is if this bgl is duplicated: it's most likely there are others, too. Look for nested folders or the same folders just appearing twice. But, even then, you'd only expect them to show in-sim if they're all enabled. Keep this thread alive if this doesn't work and I'll have a look this arvo (GMT+10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IW11 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ok, I've been looking for Lismore files & found them in the Ozx folder & I have noticed the following files, which although aren't the same file names they indicate they might be the same thing; jar_lismore hangars_lib.bgl jar_ylis_hangars_lib.bgl jar_lismore misc ga_lib.bgl jar_ylis_misc_ga_lib.bgl jar_lismorefsx_lib.bgl jar_ylis_fsx_lib.bgl There are also another two which might be suspect, but might actual be just two files which are ok; jar_lismoredefault_plc.bgl jar_lismoredefault2_plc.bgl Mark, if you have any suggestions I'd be happy to take notice. I realise from the Qzx folder that Lismore is probably not an Orbx field but as we are on the "sniff" of something I'm sure we can follow this through here. Edit: I just removed all the jar_lismore_xxx_lib.bgl files listed above & I couldn't notice any difference. I then removed jar_lismoredefault2_plc.bgl & "hey presto" a miracle cure for "old peg leg". He's looking very healthy now. This leaves at least 2 more questions now; Do I need any of the Lib files which were removed? If any Lib files should be removed, have I taken the correct copies or should I have taken the other ones? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantok Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Mark will have the definitive answer, but I think you'll find that you only need to remove either jar_lismoredefault_plc.bgl or jar_lismoredefault2_plc.bgl. No need to remove lib.bgl files. The question is whether the field is fine with just one of those PLC files, or whether some developer work needs to be done to combine them.

markwlee Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Looks like a search in your FSX folder for jar_lis*plc.bgl should find if you have doubleups. You are looking for identical filenames in different folders. Pegleg Pete is default FSX so deleting John Ross's LIBs will have no effect. You are looking for duplicated PLC placement files.

Tailgunner Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Google turns up a bunch of payware/freeware progs claiming to track duplicate files. Anyone know if any of these work and are safe to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IW11 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 After Mark's post I have put back the Lib files, which makes no visual difference to me but have not put jar_lismoredefault2_plc.bgl back. Everything still works ok, hopefully. I've also searched the whole of fsx for duplicates as Mark suggested but haven't found any files with duplicate names. That's about all I can do as Lismore & "peg leg" both look ok, except for the wind socks pointing in the wrong direction. Of course the scenery is so detailed that I might have removed something which I hadn't noticed missing. regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgunner Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks, Mark. Searching the FSX folder produces 12 Lismore jar_ files, but no trace of jar_lis*plc.bgl. I'm not worried about Pegleg: a friendly character like that is always welcome to share my PC. My concern is that duplicate files of any kind may possibly be screwing it up, and how to trace them.
