Same thing today . . . "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key" in the reCAPTCHA box :-( Sounds like Orbx have a licencing issue with reCAPTCHA!

Hi Dave, thanks for the message. I just discovered that option today (before I read your message). I had not used the insertion option in Orbx, but I had messed around with the scenery order in P3D itself, would that not do the same thing? I will try it though, putting the Orbx insertion point below Manchester, and see if that changes anything regards Dave

I can't register on the Orbx support forum, the reCAPTCHA verification seems to be broken

Hi Ray, it appears that it's the Orbx runway ID that is wrong, when loaded without the Aerosoft/IDS scenery, the runways are marked 06/24. The EGCC scenery has them as 05/23 The manuals for both the Orbs and |IDS/Aerosoft products are dated 2017

I renamed the two EGCC files in the Orbx directory, all of the EGCC buildings disappeared and lots of “craters” appeared! i.e., the Aerosoft scenery was not displayed either. The Orbx sceneries were at the top of the list, so I tried moving EGCC to the top, the buildings came back, but the taxi lines were missing and the craters were still there :-(

Hi Ray, thanks for the info, that sounds interesting, if a little complex. I'll look into it, but would worry that I'd break things even more! I've just had a look at the Orbx EU Eng directory and there are two files for EGCC, I'm going to try renaming them first to see if the duplication goes away if I remove the Orbx files and hopefully, just leave the EGCC files from the scenery pack. regards Dave

Hi, thanks a lot for that, that sounds promising. As I said at the start, I'm pretty much a newbie with P3D, I take it that these ".bgl" files are in the installed scenery directories and will have meaningful names that I can associate with specific features of the scenery, such as runway identifiers, runway markings, taxiway markings etc.? regards Dave

Hi Ray, thanks, I will try this tomorrow when I can get to the sim. I'm still struggling to see how I can (permanently) disable one of the products without losing other functionality, i.e., the rest of the Orbx EU England scenery or the Aerosoft EGCC scenery. Is this situation suggesting that I can't have both installed ? regards Dave

Hi Ray, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. Assuming that I identify the one that has the wrong designation, do I need to completely disable that scenery? That is going to lead to either losing the rest of the country details from EU England (if it's the Orbx product) or losing the enhanced EGCC airport scenery (if it's the Aerosoft airport). Or can I selectively "hide" incorrect elements of the scenery? regards Dave

Hi, relatively new P3D user here. I have installed Orbx EU England scenery and Aerosoft Manchester. When I land at Manchester, I see duplicate runway markings, .e.g., a 05L and a 06L, in slightly different positions and the runway markings are duplicated/offset. I assume that the runway details are coming from the two sceneries being displayed at the same time? Can anyone please advise what I need to do to resolve this (without completely deleting one of the sceneries) regards Dave

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Yes, it’s definitely “a can of worms”! Some good advice there, but still struggling to see the best way forward and still looking into it regards Dave

Hi, I am just about to take delivery of a fixed base sim, purely for home use. It had long been an ambition to build one myself, but mobility issues now make that impossible, so I am having to go "turnkey". As you might imagine, this isn't cheap and I am thinking about how best to insure it against, for example fire. The sim will consist of a fully enclosed cockpit, with emulated hardware and a three projector 220 degree screen, installed in a large, detached, garage. I am in the UK and would appreciate any feedback from folks who have an expensive flight sim setup, particularly in the UK, and how you have insured it. The value will be well above any single article limit on a Home Contents policy and I envisage a very difficult conversation with an insurance broker when I try to explain what it is! How have others approached this? Are there specialist brokers who would be familiar with this type of hardware? regards Dave
