hi oliver

hoping you can help i have a problem with scenery order not staying where i put them and scenery order changing eg orbx airports

can be under regions and land class

i have ran orbx central set insertion point to last third party airport and set open land class below airports and regions then i check with

your addon organiser everything seems to be ok apart from a couple of third party airports eg uk2000 which i have positioned close to top of scenery library all in order i find when i check these they are split up so i try to change them and put them back in order but when i click save they move and change order again and will not stay where i put them i have auto layer ticked i always have

i could then leave this for a day or two have a flight then check addon organiser and find scenery order has changed again and orbx airports 

below regions and split up i then use a backup in organiser to restore and save then it looks ok again i keep going round in circles forever it seems every time i open organiser everything has changed

i hope you can understand what i have written and the problem i have i do not know what is changing the scenery order

running p3dv5 latest windows 2004 latest graphics driver

hope you can help

Hello Jeff, 

do you have strict package law on or off in P4AO? Always be mindful of the dependency of Scenery and Package sequence, especially if you have scenery areas that don't have layer tags. Also, when a lot of scenery is disabled (red), in some cases you can't change the layers (because technically the dark red scenery areas don't even exist).

But this sounds more like issue with ORBX Central, which in my experience likes to shuffle things around every time you start it (there is an option in Central to make it compatible with advanced layering, maybe that is not on?). And maybe access restrictions and/or incorrect xml files. Don't know if UK2000 have a manager tool too, that may be running in the background.

If you don't have scenery problem in the sim, I wouldn't put too much effort into the layering. Layers just have to work, they don't have to look nice...

Best regards

thanks for reply

i will have a look at the things you mentioned

no i do not have strict package law on never have

i see what you mean about the dark scenery layers technically do not exist

i think the advanced layering in central has been took off

thank you
