Working fine for me. I fly VFR mainly and don’t use the night textures. Malcolm

Looks like I've fixed it. Got to "Batch process completed in 19m54sec" now. Haven't actually installed the scenery yet. Poor debuging on my behalf, I changed too many things. Firstly, I renamed the directory all the ortho4xp stuff is in to "Ortho4XPforP3D" no spaces. Put resample.exe in this directory and updated the config accordingly. Secondly I used the "Erase cached data" option to remove all data. I remember doing an early run with "Extract overlays" ticked in error and thought maybe that left some rubbish. Anyhow after these changes resample.exe ran without issue. Malcolm

No problem, hopefully it’s a simple issue that Alfredo can resolve. Looking forward to his response. Malcolm

Thanks for the response Alan, think I'm nearly there. Didn't spot the red hatching on the video so using shift click solved the problem. Worked like a dream until resample and I got this error message. ESP_build_dir is None inside of resample... something went wrong, so can't run resample my config file has this line: ESP_resample_loc=D:\\P3Dv4 SDK\\World\\Terrain\\resample.exe And the resample path is: D:\P3Dv4 SDK\World\Terrain. I downloaded resample from LM the other day so its the latest version. Am I missing a directory structure or something? Do i need resample in a different location? Malcolm

This looks like a really good solution for creating photo scenery. I've downloaded and installed as your video and link above and am running Orthi4XP_v130.exe dated 28/8/2018 16:15, did the tools bit and selected an area (+52N/+0E) clicked [Batch Build] and nothing happened, no error messages, nothing. I did get the "ERROR: Providers/O4_Custom_URL.py contains invalid code. The corresponding providers won't probably work" message on start up so thats probably got something to do with it. Help please. Malcolm

I see your point. But aren’t the tiles totally dependent on the quality of the underlying photography and if there is significant colour differences or clouds in the way that will show in the scenery. Freeware is not going to be perfect. Malcolm

Hi Kevin Thanks for the prompt response. Good to get a straight answer. I better get downloading then. Malcolm

I’ve read the topic with some interest. However before I start to download and learn how to use the software can somebody confirm if the resultant scenery with work with P3D v4? Is it simply a matter of having the config point at the appropriate resample.exe? ive seen a hint in one of the posts but nothing defiant. Malcolm

Well guys reinstallation of Win 7, fully updated and updating the bios and the graphics card seem to have done the trick, i have got FSX back again. Now just got to reconfigure FXS, reinstall all the addons, peripherals and other software to complete the rebuild.

Yeah I've got the same problem, just reinstalled win 7 64 bit and installed all updates. When I came to install FSX started removing applications it just stopped and I started it again at about 11:03 with the same result so i'll leave it a while. Hooray, it continued with installation at 11:15, so on to the next issue. Don't you just love FSX I'm trying to get rid of FSX hanging at the initial splash screen after I've installed Delux and Acceleration.

Here's an interesting thing. After re-installing FSX Deluxe the sim worked fine. After installing SP1 the sim worked fine. After installing SP2 I get the fatal error during start up. Not that its much help as I still don't have a sim that works but it does narrow the problem down a bit for those who know about these things. So here I go with re-installing Win 7 and reformatting the C: drive Here's the plan Reformat the FSX drive Pull the plugs from the FSX drive and the Data drive (Photos, Software Backups), belt and braces to ensure they are not impacted by the Win 7 re-install. Re-install Win 7 on the C: drive with the reformat option Install all Win 7 updates Plug the FSX and Data drives back in Install FSX Deluxe Install Acceleration

The Win 7 topic relates to starting windows it's self not starting FSX once you are in windows so it's not really relevant.

This topic relates to a windows 7 system. Bit of a coincidence that my problem occurred after updating my windows 7 system. I am going to check out the windows 7 forum, is it on avsim?

That's really strange, you problem sound the same as mine a couple of posts down from this one. I have done all the checks in the CTD document, reinstalled FSX on a completely cleaned machine but still getting the same error. Going to reformat the FSX drive and the reinstall Windows on the C: drive with the reformat option and the reinstall FSX on what should be effectively a new machine. Have you installed any windows updates recently? Malcolm
