Hello pilots
yesterday I downloaded and installed the update of Orbx Central 4.4.0. It is loading extremely slowly. At the moment the black area says: Loading Simulators. I have only installed P3D 4.5. The previous version worked great. What should I do? I need help.

I have just started it again and it stays at: loading simulators. It does not continue. Should I delete Orb Central and reinstall it? Will the settings be taken over?

Regards
Julio

 

I updated to 4.4.0 yesterday. It took some time before the new version was installed. This morning there was another update tot 4.4.1. I would not recommend to delete it. Just wait a few hours and then retry again. It is known that the connection can be quite slow from time to time.

I just updated Orbx to 4.4.1 10 minutes ago and I had no problems at all. The new version loaded in seconds. (I am using P3D v5.4)

Thank you friends for the information. I got an update to 4.4.1 10 minutes ago and installed it. Afterwards as usual: it stays with loading simulator and does not continue. But I can see that something is happening in PC. I will let it run.... and see how long.
I find it interesting that I have posted the problem in the Orbx forum and get no help there. I have been an Orbx customer for many years.

I found this from Nick Cooper:

In fact, it is necessary to first uninstall Orbx Central, using the Windows Control panel.
Then delete:

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Orbx and

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Orbx-central-updater

Then reinstall Orbx Central, using any of the "Get Central" links on Orbx Direct.

Maybe the alternative if it still doesn't work.

Okay. You can always do a reinstall. I for myself can't remember ever have done this before. Central always just works fine for me, but sometimes it can take some time to update. Lets see how you go. 

I have deleted Orbx Central as described by Nick. Downloaded and installed new version 4.4.1...same problem. Can anyone here confirm that versions 4.4.0 or 4.4.1 recognize and support P3D 4.5??? I'm starting to get the feeling that the new P3D 4.5 versions no longer support P3D 4.5.

I just launched Orbx Central, it loaded and updated in 10-15 seconds. Then I logged into my account and everything opened fine. No problems. I am using P3D 4.5 simulator

Nick once wrote that you should post the central.log file here. I show an area which I think is important. As I said, I have the feeling that Orbx Central does not find my P3D 4.5
 

Here is the text of the Central log file
