So far been flying non stop and didn't encounter any error.  Having 30+ FPS in MisterX LAX + Orbx TE with 3 monitors is sweet!

  • I've seen a substantial increase in FPS from the scenery changes in this, especially on large scenery areas. 

  • Paging @DeltaWho: That is something I've NEVER seen before! 🙂 X-Plane 12.4b + Orbx TrueEarth Great Britain South over London downtown + Zibo 4K @ 2560x1080 Max World Objects, Max

  • Well what a nice surprise. Christmas has come a little early today even if its beta. 😁

Are you using symbolic links for Orbx TE?

That I still have no answer for somebody may have a better idea.

It pains me to see you go into these rabbit holes of false conclusions that lead you even further and further astray. 

There are some steps needed to get it working in X-Plane 12, apparently, which I think you are hopelessly getting tangled up in.

I reinstalled it as its original XP11 version into 12.4 fired up the sim and got the menu to show me the XP11 models and loaded it. The original XP11 version now works perfectly in XP12.4 all of it, menus, switches manipulators engine control flight behaviour whereas before it was a bust and half of it would not work due to scripting problems (SASL) etc.

Fascinating. I’m going to take a very low probability shot and try that with a couple of my XP 11 refugee addons.

That seems strange - AFAIK, Orbx always creates symlinks rather than shortcuts (as shortcuts aren’t always reliable).

EGCC loading with A LOT of errors for me.  ORBX TE no longer rendering.  Check scenery_packs.ini and check xToolbox and xOrganizer … reporting conflicts that didn’t exist before?

Live weather doesn’t seem to be working and/or conflict with ASXP.

Nose wheel steering back to being extremely sensitive … settings seem to have disappeared?

Correction to my earlier post, my 182 was Carenado (for XP11)  not default.

Checking out my DA62 (aerobask), King Air 350, and C172 (airfoillabs).

Something is up with the night lighting also, far more reflective than it should be or used to be … living in a world of chrome.  

I have Reshade but not using it since it doesn’t officially support XP12.

Just loaded a quick flight with TE and East Midlands (I don’t have the payware EGCC), using the Default CirrusJet. 

No issues here, and OMG I’m seeing 60fps for the first time ever in TEGB!!!

Not if one is using external views for their visuals. If you run a 3D flight deck no problem, but go external view and your nice rain is gone.

Why would you want to use an external view? I am speaking as viewed from the cockpit as a flight sim where we are supposed to be flying from the cockpit. But perhaps it’s just me…

I’m AFK, but will be happy to share my scenery pack ini when I’m back. 

from a quick glance, yours seems okay  

you might be missing the Orbx Library, in re the airport errors. It’s separate from the individual sceneries  

Tragically , eglc v12 doesn’t seem to be compatible with TE v12. I checked the forums months ago go and Orbx are deflecting to the airport dev…

I disable it. Haven’t messed around to try and fix it as my performance is  poor in London so I only fly areas well away from where the city renders.

I run a full flightdeck solutions 737 dual trainer, I have no use for the 3D flight deck nor is the capt. view good when running three 75" monitors for a complete 180 degree view.

No - I don't think Steam has anything to do with the issue. They don't really mess with anything in the game other than the install location.

Here's my scenery ini for the Beta (slimmed down from Production, natch).

As related previously, the mesh for EGLC v12 is incompatible with TE GB S v12. Note also that EGLC v12 has a separate mesh folder, which is what messes up the area around EGLC, anyway...

I installed the v11 version of EGLC (which has no separate mesh, unlike EGLC v12) and have no issues. It is the older airport layout where a back taxi is required, but it DO work - and blends beautifully with TE GB S v12 😉

See highlighted items below. AFAIK, you are missing TWO Orbx scenery libraries (one for v11 and one for v12). Those will definitely cause the error messages you're seeing in your screenshot (one is probably the missing separate mesh, i'm guessing).
If they're not in your Production XP install, you can get them from Orbx online.

That is something I've NEVER seen before! 🙂

X-Plane 12.4b + Orbx TrueEarth Great Britain South over London downtown + Zibo 4K @ 2560x1080

Max World Objects, Max Vegetation, Max Rendering Distance!

No, the frame rate isn't fantastic, but it's actually flyable!

When I've tried anything close to this before, i was down in single digit FPS slide shows.

KUDOS to all the folks at Laminar! 🙏
