I have a problem installing a scenery with AddonOrganizer and xml . I have followed all the instructions in "How to sdd legacy scenery". This applies to Aerosoft Trondheim Vaernes V2. The difference between the airports shown in "How to add legacy scenery" is that in the case of Trondheim there is another category except Effects and World base secenery and that is Simobjects. I have added the SimObjects folder to Other addons. In that folder are Avatars, Ground Vehicles and Misc.
The installation does not work the airport is completely without buildings and only a number of red large X.I P3D Add-ons the scenery are active.

How can I troubleshoot this?

You should be able to run the .exe file from Aerosoft, and the install script should do the rest.

 

Hi Jude

Thats right. Normal installation with the exe file is not a problem and the scenery goes to the scenery.cfg. In this case I want to use .xml for installing the scenery.

Hello Thomas,

Make sure that you have added the SimObjects properly. The Path is the parent folder of where the SimObjects themselves are. So if you have \whatever\SimObjects\Misc and \whatever\SimObjects\Avatars, these are two separate Addons of category SimObjects. Using "\whatever\SimObjects" as Path will not work, P3D will not parse the subfolders.

A large red letter "X" is usually associated with SODE telling you that it is supposed to display objects that it can't find. As far as I know, SimObjects that are to be used with SODE need to be in a specific location (possibly C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects), and there may be a config file involved (possibly in C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml)

Best regards

Very interesting... I have had ImagineSim ZSPD installed since it  came out and never have had a RED X before.  This morning it started.  Nothing was changed.  Working on it...

Thanks Oliver!

Making separate Addons categorys and pointing AddonOrganizer direct to the three diffrent Simobjects folders Avatars, GroundVehicles and Misc fixed the problem.
