CDreier Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 P3D 2.5 Professional Do my add on airports go to the very top of the scenery library - higher priority than my FTX/ORBX objects? In other words, keep all the structure of my exisiting library intact as far as ORBX is concerned but only move the airports above ORBX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divermar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just remember that anytime you install another ORBX region, airport, service pack, update, libraries etc... the scenery library will re-order itself and put your airports below the ORBX entries.

Sorry...I have not found that to be the case. I have Don Grovestine's 6 British Columbia airports and they have remained above the Orbx sceneries no matter how many times I have run FTX Central. The same goes for Vancouver+ and Vic+. Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Stew, You mean run FTX Central to switch between regions, yes I agree that does not re-order the scenery library. But when you "install another ORBX region, airport, service pack, update, libraries etc" this will cause the scenery library to re-order.

Mark Mark, I just recently installed KPSP, S93, and PAHO, and Grovestine's 6 BC airports still remained at the top of the heap, even after running the OrbxLibs. Maybe it's because they all start with "C"? But then why do Vancouver+ and Vic+ still appear above the Orbx entries? Of course, KPSP, S93 and PAHO were all properly inserted in their (alphabetic) order in the Orbx list of sceneries. Maybe I'm not understanding something here??

divermar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Stew, On my system every time I install a new ORBX product including the OrbxLibs the scenery.cfg file is re-ordered to have ORBX on top, and sorted alphabetically within the ORBX products. I've also installed other airports that are higher (alphabetically) than ORBX like "FlightBeam San Francisco International" and I place them higher in priority, but they seem to get shuffled to just below the last entry for ORBX, in my case that is "FTX_NA_PNW08_CUSTOM". I would rather have your situation because I have forgotten to verify the order and then I'll have to stop my flight and correct the order and then re-start the flight.

Stewart Hobson Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Mark, I seem to remember having a similar problem several months ago, when I first started installing Orbx scenery. Have you set an "insertion point" in FTX Central? Usually it's the AddOn Scenery entry where some of your third party scenery is installed by their various installers (like Grovestine's BC airports, for example). Setting the insertion point at AddOn Scenery insures all Orbx scenery is inserted above this point. I don't know if this is a solution to your scenery "re-ordering" problem, but it's worth a try, if you haven't already done so. Then run OrbxLibs and see what happens.

CDreier Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 It would be better if the insertion point was below certain addon scenery. The problem is that ORBX always places itself above my addon airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi CDreier, in case that wasn't clear it is you who determines where the insertion point is set: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/28291-adding-a-scenery-library-insertion-point-ftxcentral-step-by-step/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
