ORBX Sim Object Display Engine problem

Featured Replies

Every day, when I go into Orbx Central, my Sim Object Display Engine shows that there is an UPDATE.  I update it every day and the update message goes away.  However, when I go back into ORBX CENTRAL, it shows update message again.  It NEVER gets updated, and I really don't know why the update is not "taking".  

Do you have the same problem recently as well?  I've never seen this before. I have synced my simulator (P3dV5.4) in Central and I have run the Verify Files on the SODE, but the update never really gets installed.  

I would appreciate your help.

I'M wondering about that myself.

    I asked that question in the Orbx forum and was told that if you update to the latest version of SODE, 1.8.0, Orbx central doesn't recognize it, so it prompts you to update SODE every time you open Central. At least this is what I was told.

I uninstalled 1.8.0 and installed 1.7.1

All is well.

Happened to me so I manually installed SODE and updated to 1.8.0 and finally got my jetways operational.

I deleted SODE from Roaming folder where ORBX puts it and manually downloaded [ installed ] latest version from 12b's website. I am still not sure is it working or not, but recently I noticed that at KSEA I did not had jetways.

This sounds like the solution.

"The solution" would be if OrbX Central recognized version 1.8.0.

The solution is not to manage it via ORBX, no?

Is there a choice? They just installed it, without concerning that I had it installed already. And ORBX has completely left P3D. They don't care at all i fear.

OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons)
Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft

It's a big leap from a small problem with Orbx Central to "They don't care at all i fear".
Orbx Central does not install SODE without first asking you where you want to install it
and at that point, you can simply choose not to install it.
You can either install SODE with Orbx Central and then ignore the update message,
or you can uninstall it with Orbx Central and install it directly from SODE and ignore
the Orbx Central update message.
Either way, you will have version 1.8.0 and SODE will work.

Even if you uninstall it in ORBX central it still pops up. This is so annoying. I was banned in ORBX forum, otherwise I would create subject there.
