If you copy the effects folder into the root P3D it will be merged with the existing one,..simple. Jorge

David that is a bad technique as if you had made any changes to the P3D settings they may not be correctly saved and then cause a CTD or other problems ,.. Jorge

I did not have any problems , I use Windows defender as AV and did not disable it.. Jorge

well...it was always on a Tuesday but last time it was on a Wednesday.... Jorge

As Marc sid can happen for many reasons that is why I keep a clean file wthou any assignmen... Once you clean all your setting (dont forget slew) , export the settings by selecting export and give it a name say Clean and the date , this file is kept as a name.xml in your documents\prepar3d V4 files\ when all is s.t go t controls and import it ...now all is clear again.. Jorge

They will be removed the next time you install a clean P3D... leave them alone for the time being it is safer. The migration only moves Scenery (scenery and texture folders) as they are in the root p3d \ORBX folder ..., as ORBX said Central was not meant for migration , only for new installs. Jorge

Good point Dave , WIN tends to reset all "Run as Administrator" after some of their upgrades ... Jorge

Thank you Mark, great news , unfortunately I am in Australia so no visit for me , although I would like very much to meet you guys!!. Good luck (professionals do not need much) with the certification and looking forward as always to the Magnificent DODO!!! Keep us informed as possible..thank you Jorge

Hi Tony, first is that you assign all your Sw and levers with the UI , say OK and test them to your satisfaction. Open again Controls assignments and click EXPORT, give the file a name , this will be saved in C:\Users\UsER_ID\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files as an .xxx.xml file (xxx your choice) . This file can then be imported later if required. This system is good also if you want to have different settings for , say, helicopter and fixwing. prepar3d.cfg has nothing to do with control settings , so replacing it won't do anything. Do not know why your settings are not being kept, make sure you click OK after setting them up and close P3D correctly. hope this helps Jorge

snglecoil et al, installing from clean P3D (no previous scenery installed) works OK no issues , they start when you have other scenery (not ORBX) , Central was never properly tested in a REAL system nor by REAL beta testers... Jorge

Hi!, just a hello and expecting a reply to say all is good and progressing!!!! Jorge PS 5000+ views has to be encouraging!!!

Oliver , this sims to be a special parser as I can prove that if you create an xml say with 4 components with the same layer number, the bottom component will be placed in the top position , as in any of the regions haavong 05, 06, 07, 08..I place 05 at the bottom <!-- NZ --> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_08_CUSTOM</Path> <Name>FTX_NZNI_08_CUSTOM</Name> <Layer>4997</Layer> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_07_MESH</Path> <Name>FTX_NZNI_07_MESH</Name> <Layer>4997</Layer> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_06_CVX</Path> <Name>FTX_NZNI_06_CVX</Name> <Layer>4997</Layer> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_05_SCENERY</Path> <Name>FTX_NZNI_05_SCENERY</Name> <Layer>4997</Layer> </AddOn.Component> this appears in the scenery configuration in sim as first 05,then 06 and so on... it never fails. Jorge

Olive has said it , the xml method is the best there is , I had been using it since early V3 , I dont have ORBX or OZx or any addon simobjects in my root P3D , and it truly is that easy to enable or disable any addon , one click ... The problem here is that ORBX messed Central up. Too early released and not fully tested. Jorge

Mike , for a start Global does not install without a download (already said at ORBX forum) Vector may install fine but does not work, you say "it says under the big install button. Install via manual download just underneath it "...yes , but the manual says different (if you care toread, I did that , it starts to extract, then create chunks and in the end downloads the file again...were your downloaded files single .zip files ... if not we are talking different thing. Jorge

New installation of P3D: It is not possible to use previously (manually) downloaded zip-files, everything will be freshly downloaded via ORBx Central V4 That is correct, the clue is Manually Downloaded.... Jorge
