Hello @ll, If you are using the GA traffic feature of LLTX, make sure that you don't use Carenado models as GA. Carenado has a copy protection mechanism, that makes it impossible to use their aircraft as AI. When they are created in the sim, they will shut down the engines of the users' own aircraft! LLTX tries to counteract this, but with complex airliner addons that usually fails. Unfortunately I didn't realize that some of the default GA planes in P3D are from Carenado, and that they exhibit the same behavior. 1. There is a checkbox on the GA traffic settings dialog (click on the cogwheel next to "Add offline GA, helicopter and military traffic") that en…

After successfully migrating all my sceneries with this nifty tool I’m wondering about my add on aircraft. I suspect it’s possible - how should I proceed? - Looking at my A2A folder which is already installed outside P3D, I see the associated addon xml in that folder and not where P4AO installs (my documents). Hmm. - I already have Simobjects, Effects and Sound components in the “other addons” tab which is used for my scenery. Can I create new components with different names like “Aircraft Simobjects” and so on to avoid conflicts? Also, apart from these and a gauges folder are any other folders required? - Should I make one of each folder and dump all assoc…

Hello @ll, I made a short photo series about how to install legacy scenery (= scenery that wasn't made with an installer that creates an add-on.xml) externally. I usually group my addons by developer, so in this example I chose to do a fresh install of Aerosoft Gibraltar and Stuttgart (the "Professional" versions). First, I laid the groundwork 1. created a folder "C:\Users\olive\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Aerosoft" (it doesn't matter where you create that folder! It doesn't have to be in \Documents\, and it can be on another drive too - "F:\MyAddons\AerosoftStuff" works just fine too!) 2. Copied the prepar3d.exe into that folder After …

Updating to P3D v4.3 today so wanted to update my installation of your Addon Manager. Both MS Edge and Google Chrome are blocking the D/L of the file from your site with a virus warning. Can you advise?

Hello @ll, I have seen a few videos and screenshots made by people using PMX for aerial refueling. It is quite common that the probe&drogue or the flying boom are "clipped" - the visual model is cut off at a certain distance from your viewpoint. To improve this, change the "ClipMode" parameter for your VC camera. Here is how to do that for the default setup: Find your cameras.cfg here: C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ Open the file with a text editor capable of processing the UTF-16 character encoding and make your VC camera definition look like this (Clipmode is the only change): [CameraDefinition.002] Title…

Hi There. I've just remembered that you were going to take a look at why the Editor was not allowing me to drag and drop actions. I've downloaded version V1.14b01 and it works perfectly for me. This means that I can load in profiles designed for the larger StreamDecks and drag actions down onto my SD+ profiles. Many thanks and at the risk of embarrassing you, I'm in awe of what you do and the constant help and assistance you provide us simmers. Best Regards...Kenny.

Hi I’ve been using the remote MCDU application for the FSS Ejets for roughly 2 years and it’s worked flawlessly! However with the new FSS experimental version, the application no longer works. I understand it may be difficult to integrate the application into something that isn’t even finished yet but I was curious if anyone else has experienced the same or if there were any plans to update the application? Thanks!

Hi I enjoy lorby live traffic and the real world weather function but I have noticed that real world weather is just giving me total cloud cover and not my current weather Any ideas of a fix Regards Rhys

Anybody using time machine and not able to get it to recognize the loaded msfs flightplan. I upgraded to windows 11 recently and had not used time machine for a while. Since the ifly max pause at TOD seems broken now I tried using time machine for the first time in a while and it doesn't recognize my loaded flight. It says its connected but No Flightplan. I downloaded the latest version and check i had Net 4.8 which it says I already have it when I try to install it but still doesn't work.

I am having a problem with my Orbx scenery order moving around and not staying where it's supposed to. When I set my insertion points in Orbx Central, I can go open the P3D Organizer tool, and it shows all my Orbx scenery in the correct order, but as soon as I click on the save button, the order of the Orbx entries goes all messed up. Even if I try to manually change it back, it will just change again on it's own, to the wrong place in the order. If I go back and reset my Central insertion points, it will do the same thing again. Please, I would greatly appreciate some help that anyone can provide to help me fix this problem. I just want to be able to keep thing…

Hi Lorby! Absolutely love your tool and it works a treat, however I've been spending most of my time in MSFS career mode and it does not seem to recognise the flightplan when doing a career flight for some reason. I have been using "TOD Calculator & Pause" which does work well but is inferior in terms of feature set. Hopefully there is a solution can be found! Let me know if I can help out with any logs or information. It occurs even with a fresh install of MSFS24 with nothing else on the system so should be reproducible. Thanks, Ben

Hi there. I have an ongoing issue with the Editor in that I cannot get it to drag down an action after selecting it. I left click to select the action, but when I hold down the left mouse button, I cannot get the action to drag down into my profile. I have an SD+ and I am trying to drag from other Streamdeck versio profiles, to make use of the actions in them. Could this be the problem? Can I only drag from another SD+ profile? I cannot get an action to duplicate either. I would love to get the Editor to work, as it is a great thing to have and seems so simple to use. Any thoughts 0n what I am doing wrong? Thanks. p.s. I have previously posted about this is…

Hi! I first want to thank for the G1000 Bridge. Using it to play back the softkeys on a Stream Deck - it is great! I understand that the bridge is writing those LVars L:G1000_XXX_SOFTKEY_n and AAO can read them. Is it possible to read those outside the AAO ecosystem somehow? Best A.

Hi. In my install of Payload Manager X for P3Dv5, the Object Finder is broken. It throws a "Failed to compare two elements in the array" error when scanning SimObjects, although it still populates the folder structure if I then press "Apply filter," but then when selecting an object, it throws "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and won't add the object into the PMX dropdown list for insertion into an aircraft's slots. Maybe due to some duplication or error in my SimObjects folder, I don't know. But for those objects that are already in PMX's dropdown list, it has no problem adding them to the aircraft. So while I troubleshoot the errors, what …

Hi When running live traffic for the first time I get the Unhandled exception has occurred in you application and the following details See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at LorbyLiveTraffic.MainDialog.MainDialog_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System…

I recently installed P3D v6 and tried using the latest version of the Lorby Si Addon Manager. After saving the modified scenery.cfg file I then tried making scenery library changes from within P3D v6 and got the message that P3D was not able to open the scenery,cfg file to write. Checking the permissions on the scenery.cfg file I discovered that the Lorby Addon Manager had changed the permissions on the file removing write permissions. Is there fix for this issue?

Greetings, I have finally installed the ORBX VECTOR into P3D V5.3 and have all the prerequisite Orbx installations required for Vector to work. Given the choice of installation locations, I installed into an external ORBX directory with all my other files, rather than in my C drive because of possible space limitations. But, Vector shows up Purple in the Lorby App...what have I done wrong? Thanks. Sherm

Would it be possible to develop a duplicate airport, or duplicate AFCAD scanner, for up to P3D v6? One was available for up to P3D v4 at ScruffyDuck Software, but the developer has retired now, and the scanner is not available any more. Jorgen

Ive been using the AAOBridge in WebAPI Mode now with my VrInsight Airbus FCU. Today however on clicking to open I got a popup,(which didn't stay up!) I reopened the Bridge and there were no profiles visible I had AAOHs, MSFS20, Navigraph Charts and Firefox running When I tried to load a display profile I get the following message "Import failed: Configuration system failed to initialise" Can you suggest a solution, I'm lost without my FCU/EFIS

Hi Tried to start up lorby traffic today but it wouldn't launch. I just get the blue round launch icon and nothing at all. Restart my pc but same result Any ideas Cheers Rhys

Greetings, First a compliment....this is an excellent tool and I have used it for years. Recently, however, I came into a situation where I needed to delete files in bulk. Not being much of a techie, I could only see how to do this file by file, much to cumbersome. So, I uninstalled then reinstalled The AOM, but the same entries were still showing. MY question, how can I uninstall the AOM, so that I am presented with a clean slate, as if this were the first time I have used it. I want to completely rebuild the scenery data base within the program. Thanks for any help. Sherm

In the latest version of LLTX the capped and limited OpenSky Network has been replaced with another free alternative. The new data source has the same limitations regarding departure and arrival airports (= the are missing, so SimAI and Hybrid mode are still only avalilable with a RealTraffic subscription). But at the moment it is apparently not time or quota restricted. Please take note of the terms on the data source's website (click on the image on the top left of the LLTX window)

Hello, I'm trying to export my scenery list to Google Earth and I get an unhandled exception error message. I ran it with tracing and it stops at this point. Not sure what's going on because the path is correct and the BGL file referenced is present. Any help is appreciated. Here's the message ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of a…

I was running Flashlight successfully (P3d v5.4) until I recently deleted Navigraph's Simlink. After the deletion, the remnants popped up a message about having to start Simlink manually and also Flashlight would not start at all. I got rid of that message by cleaning up some left over Simlink files but, after uninstalling Flashlight and reinstalling it, the Flashlight window opens for a second or two then closes completely. This happens both in P3d and if I just try to start Flashlight from the Start menu. I have the proper settings in P3d per the user manual. Cure or suggestions would be appreciated. Stephen
