Just did a fresh reinstall of P3D and all of it´s components and since then, the terrain looks like this at night (specially in snowy and sandy zones). I tried to fully uninstall ORBX and repair P3D scenery from the installer, but it didn´t work. So please, can anyone help me with this or pointing me in the right directon for fix it? thank you guys!

P3D 4.5 HF2

Looks like maybe a scenery layering issue?  Try to go into the ORBX Central "Help" settings and hit "Sync Simulator".  Also double check that any openLC is set underneath ORBX Aiports and Regions under the "Insertion Point" section.  If it still doesn't fix it you may need to do a fresh install.

OK so I tried yesterday only with Orbx Europe and it was fine. I installed now Orbx America and South America and the problem is back and sync don´t fix it -.-

I remember that i had that issue when i re-installed the P3D-scenery client. It was solved by doing a complete "installation verification" via the OrbX central for all scenery which is installed. This will trigger that OrbX looks into the installed files and re-installs them in the right manner again. Now i´am doing this always if i changed something to the scenery and everything is fine on my side. 

Of course to set the scenery layering right, as Greg mentioned, is mandatory.

Is that by "verifying files"? Because I also did that and didn´t solve the problem -.-

Oh my.  Yeah you may have something corrupted.  Sometimes it's best to just re-install from scratch and try again.  ☹️

I think OrbX has guidance on this on their forums, but I would assume that a typicla installation order is:

- First all GLOBAL addons, sarting with BASE, then openLC, and finally Vector.

- Second, all regional products.

- Finally, airports and other high-detail local scenery.

Vector in the end? Ok, and install all in one? Or is it better to run P3D after each part is installed?

I think that's how i always did it, yes, and seems to be what is recommended (https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/149289-sequence-of-installation/)

Back in FSX days I remember that it was recommended to run FSX after every single scenery installation. I don't know what the recommendation is now, but in all honesty, I typically install a couple things at a time. The exception is OrbX Global and regions! I do typically install one product at a time for those, given how big they are. But when it comes to the airports, I tend to do several at a time.

Also, use Lorby's addon manager! I personally like to open it up after every piece of scenery I install, to check the ordering of my scenery library and make sure everything is setup okay before I launch P3D.

Ok I will do all the install in that order and run P3D after each tihing is installed. Last time I installed global, then Europe LC, Vector and then the rest of the LC, maybe that was the thing that messed up everything.

And of course, I use Lorby too, nice tool by the way.

Thank you Benjamin

You're welcome. Yes I would recommend doing all of openLC first, and then Vector. It might not matter - but then maybe it might. Better to be safe 😉
