June 20, 20178 yr LM have confirmed that v4, as previously, does NOT merge different specified autogen files. However, Arno has said he will be updating ACM to support P3D4. If you havent heard about ACM but have suffered from problems with missing autogen, conflicting sceneries or commercial developers having semi public spats about who should control autogen definitions (think OrbX, FranceVFR and Earth Simulations) then ACM can help.. It is IMHO one of the most useful yet least known addons ever, and its free...who else here has used it? Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS

June 21, 20178 yr Kevin, I assume that the modified version should be capable of sorting out any autogen compatibility issues between P3D v4 and the Earth Simulations scenery packages? For example, are the ES TreeScapes packs currently working in P3D v4?

For example, are the ES TreeScapes packs currently working in P3D v4? Treescapes already works flawlessly as far as I've tested. I just added scenery layers pointing to the same folders used in v3 and it seems to work, certainly for vols 1-3 which is what I've tested so far. ACM is only necessary for merging additional autogen definitions. Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS

June 21, 20178 yr FranceVFR has updated their Autogen Global X : http://www.francevfr.com/agx_EN.htm Several scenery developers have their own Autogen / descriptions entries and one can cause issues ( not seeing autogen objects ) at the other. The developers below now use 1 merged version. Their is now a P3D4 version. This is not compatible with several Orbx scenery...

Kind regards, Michael As I use FTX Global and HD Trees only I can use this . Specific Orbx regions are not compatible.

Kind regards, Michael No this is why we need ACM :) Although it is a shame our devs cant play nicely together regarding sharing autogen definitions, instead of acting like spoiled primary school children.. *sigh* Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
June 21, 20178 yr Commercial Member I thought Orbx stopping overriding other developers autogen these days but that is still not the case? Also, I was under the impression ACM was for developers, not end-users? I am not aware of how a simmer would apply ACM on their own?

I have dozens of Orbx Scenery and lately installed Austria Professional HD and a France VFR scenery. As far as I can see all of these kill the other's autogen descriptions so it is not possible to run them together. Can the Autogen Configuration Merger help with this situation and make it possible to have all these sceneries work together without having to swap the autogen folder again and again? And if it can, which files / folders exactly do I need to put where? The manual provided by the ACM is quite sparse. Thanks for your help.

Supposedly yes 1 hour ago, RALF9636 said: And if it can, which files / folders exactly do I need to put where? It is described in the ACM manual. You need an additional Autogen folder alongside the traditional scenery and texture folders relating to any scenery you wish ACM to merge autogen for. Any autogen description files containing custom autogen for that scenery go in that folder, Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
