ORBX Transfer to P3Dv5

Featured Replies

So I have migrated my sceneries from V4 install to library, But ORBX central does not seem to be aware of my V5 install. 

I have updated to latest version (4.1.1x I believe) 

Am I missing something?

Have you closed Orbx Central, restarted and closed P3D and then re-opened Orbx Central?

Forgive the obvious question, but since I saw someone else make that mistake:

Did you choose V5 in the dropdown menu in Central? 

I have opened and closed both several times and V5 does not show up in the ORBX central pulldown...

i reinstalled central and it worked

Does it take up twice the space or from same library folder v4 and v5 installed? How do i move Global.?its the only ORBX that needs to migrate. Hitting the button nothing happens.

Did you follow the instructions? Have to move to beta "fastlane" and central will then update and recognise v5. All in the link I posted above.

It was a simple as reinstalling... The site read that the current version was 4.11... I. reality it is 4.1.6

Reinstalled and all is working... Thanks to everyone for helping!

The Global Base cannot be "migrated". It must be reinstalled.

From Nick Cooper:

"you cannot migrate Global Base to an Orbx Central Library because that would leave the simulator

without any default textures in its own folder and it would not run.

You can install Global base into an Orbx Central Library."

Sorry, that's all I know. Never having done the migration.

Great idea.  I did it all tonight.  Moved everything into ORBX Libraries.  Thanks for the excellent tip.  Well, we'll see how it goes when I install P3dv5. It only took me about 45 minutes or so to get everything converted from "inside the sim" to the ORBX Library.

Thanks Nemo and Farlis

Stan, 

I'm about to do this myself.  Did you notice any issues with V4 after migrating or are things good?

As for the lake itself....I'll put it back in the next v5 content patch.  The water data set is completely different in North America for v5 so we haven't found all the bugs yet, but we should have caught this one!

Let us (I'm part of LM's Prepar3D team)  know if you find more omissions like this!  You guys make a list we'll be sure to review what we can!

So I downloaded the Orbx Central, and everything went fine. However, there are some airports I had in V4 that are not listed for v5. I am using a new machine for v5 that doesn't have v4 on it. Are these airports not yet compatible? For instance, Melbourne.

Cheers, Pete
