Orbx Central problem

Featured Replies

Today Orbx automatically updated to v4.5.18. I am having big problems with it. It flashes and the text is super blurry! It is so bad that I cannot even read it! Is anyone else having this problem with the newest Orbx Central??

its ok at my end

☹️ It's almost unusable for me now.

I gave it another try just now and in fact it's more like some pixels remain on the screen when I scroll the item list up and down, like some kind of pollution or ghost effect. They disappear as soon as I release the mouse button though. So everything stays perfectly readable at all times.

Just launched Orbx Central, it updated to v4.5.18, restarted, and everything is working fine. I have no remarks.

By the way, I find it strange that Orbx still sells the KA350i for as much as $58, and the DHC-3T Turbo for $28. Yet Blackbird has long been releasing these and other aircraft for free on their Blackbird Simulations - Freebies portal. It feels a bit odd...

when in fact neither of them is still for sale at Orbx Direct. It feels a bit odd that you would do that.
If you can see them in Orbx Central, it is because they are owned by you and left there for existing owners to install, if they wish to.
Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

I found a video of what is happening with my Orbx Central. Only difference is the text is blurry, and flashing is MUCH WORSE! The whole app flashes not just parts of it like in the video. The previous Orbx Central version worked great for me.

Looks like you’re right, my friend, I just needed to scroll the page down

I was not attentive enough and overlooked all the information about the addon. My apologies.

I was already on 4.5.18 and opening it today reveals no issues. Try rebooting or clearing your cookies for ORBX.

I already tried to reboot the computer and clearing the cookies. It didn't fix it.

 

About a week and a half ago there was a Windows 11 update that I ran. Maybe that has something to do with Central not working for me?

I opened a help ticket at Orbx, let's see what they say first. I will uninstall and reinstall Central if Orbx can't do anything.

There is a forum topic at Orbx that will show you what needs to be done:
https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/216453-how-to-completely-reinstall-orbx-central-in-windows/

As a general rule, if a problem with software is limited to one user, that problem is more likely to be local than systemic.
