Hello,

I've got some ORBX issue with ORBX Base and LC Europe

Here are 2 Screens from EDDL (Justsim)

You can see that there are some issues with Landscape. Trees and some Buildings are placed in water (river) and some "cities" are merged with other landscape. Where is the Problem?

In my scenery libary everything seems to be okay. ORBX starts below the last payware Add-on.

Hope someone can help me.

 

ORBX Base, LC Europe and Vector is installed - everything is up to date

 

 

If you installed their new ORBX Central for sure you are in trouble. Even with no migration of any ORBX products to a locations outside the sim, for some reason ORBX Central messes up everything and the result is your odd looking textures. Seems to me they are now blaming Lockheed Martin for problems they should surely avoid if they were able to beta test their new software with more detail or care.

I'm too suffering from the same problem as you have and I've been patiently waiting for a solution from someone capable at ORBX.

I strongly suggest posting your issue at the ORBX forums, where you could see you're not the only one that's been affected.

I've stopped for now any new purchase of any ORBX product as to me it's clear their current software, I mean ORBX Central, is not reliable enough.

Cheers, Ed

 

 I installed Central the day it came out and migrated a bunch of my products to outside of the sim including most of the FTX regions, Vector, Global textures, the Euro and NA LC as well as a few airports and the libraries of course. One big issue I had from it all was the FTX regions being returned to a default state from the very customized hundreds of now-deleted modified and deactivated ADE files due to addon scenery and custom work. The other and I do believe it's being worked on is the library insertion points doesn't seem to work properly. Still a good idea to check though that yours is set just to see if it helps make a difference for your issue.

Okay but I'm still using FTX Central 3 because I already read about this issues.

In my scenery libary everything is located on the right place

I want to echo what others have said above. I installed ORBX Central about four days ago and used it to update my Global Base package. Immediately I saw trees growing out of the runways and taxiways of my default airport. I'd never suffered this problem previously. I desperately tried to figure out what was going on -- to the point where I eventually had to completely delete and reinstall every flight-sim-related item on my entire SSD. But ORBX Central made it extremely difficult to succeed. It kept asking me to install the scenery into a Library folder but refused to create the correct Library folder when I clicked the "Create Library Folder" button. I ended up having to manually download and install "England" and "South Germany" outside of ORBX Central. The previous FTX 3 was far superior.

A very bold and erroneous statement! Just because you had a problem (and to be honest , so did a lot of others) it doesn't mean that Orbx Central is a problem per se. 

I downloaded it and installed it in the week it was announced and nothing changed on my system. I migrated Global Vector to see what happened and the answer was nothing, everything worked as it should and subsequently the program has updated itself automatically. I have created a new library, where I put my "competition entry" and everything still works as it did before. You don't need to migrate if you don't want to.

So you will not necessarily be "in trouble" at all.

(In case you think I have only one product I have about 20 Regions/trees/buildings and about 25 airports).

Thanks for your response but I don't know what I really can do beacause I use FTX 3 but issue appears.

I also tried to enter ORBX products in scenery libaray manually but it doesn't help

 Have you tried to deactivate the Justsim scenery in the Scenery Libray and check again ?

If the problem is still here do a VERIFY in the OpenLC Eu product page of FTX central 3.

If that doesn't work head to the OrbX support forum.

 

 

 

 

I deactivate and activate the Justsim scenery but the issue still already exists.

The OpenLC product is still veriflied.

 Also by adjusting things manually in the scenery.cfg etc you could be semi creating the issue. FTX Central is particularly good at keeping itself in check assuming the library insertion points are correct which needs to be setup by the user.

FTX entries are below the last Airport Add-On in this case FlyTampa EKCH.

openLC are below FTX, this is also set in FTX Central settings

 

In my scenery.cfg the first entries look like this, maybe here is a mistake:

[General]
Title=Prepar3D Scenery
Description=Prepar3D Scenery Areas Data
Clean_on_Exit=TRUE

[Area.001]
Title=Default Terrain
Texture_ID=1
Local=Scenery\World
Active=TRUE
Required=TRUE
Layer=1

[Area.002]
Title=Default Scenery
Local=Scenery\BASE
Active=TRUE
Required=TRUE
Layer=2

[Area.003]
Title=ORBX!VECTOR_AEC
Local=ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_AEC
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Layer=3

[Area.004]
Title=0000 Base
Local=Scenery\0000
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Layer=4
 

...
