Lorby-SI Freeware

Hi event though I save the config files and it tells me they are saved, the save button stays red. Obviously theres something wrong but how bac I find out what it is. Graham

hey Oliver..not sure if you are familiar with FlyTampa's KaiTak but due to the file structure..I am not sure really how to install this with the addon manager..... Do i tick..install all subfolders etc..look at the two pics and look at the scenery how its set up. I have an lc and a world and I am not sure where they go properly in the layering. https://imgur.com/YAv3V7d https://imgur.com/LwXz62n Thanks, BobM.

Hi when opening p4ao download its asking to enter a password for the encrypted file, never saw this before, how do i proceed?

I may be wrong but It seems that the EXE.cfg file located in \AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 is not read so its entries are not displayed. Mine contains 3 entries but under Other addons tab, when I filter with EXE I can't see them in the component list.

Hello, I think I have read somewhere that last P4AO version is able to import Groups from SceneryConfigEditor. I'm unable to find this function, is it only in my brain?

Hi Lorby, Just a quick question about AI support on sloped runways. Here's an example of a live traffic AI plane landing at an addon airport with a sloped runway. It seems to get deleted as soon as it reaches the first sloped node. Is that expected?

Hi Lorby Apologies as I know I've read this somewhere, but I can't find it now I need it - Using v1.55 b06(c), for P3Dv5, I am prompted for a description name when trying to install scenery. Is there a particular naming convention to use here? thanks Ian

Hi Oliver, I am afraid that I am all at sea 😧 Your documentation has not helped me to understand what is wrong. Many of my around 40 airport sceneries show only the GSX2 ground vehicles and SODE jetways. No airport buildings, Obrx OpenLC or FS Global Ultimate 2020. The interface shows that all except one item are green and therefore active. The exception is of FlyTampa-Toronto_LC which is purple. I have run the Packages>Activate all option and saved the changes, but to no effect. What should I do to enable all of sceneries?

Hi Oliver, I had to re-install (rather update everything to the new version) and obviously I had to "re-attach" all sceneries. Now II think I have double entries? Or I made some kind of mess with ORBX....Everything is in library (ORBX) but I see everything messed on the ground....There are are no NAMERICA1(1) or EUROPE (8) in folder....Any Idea what I could have messed? I installed and checked all ORBX files and they appear to be in order and installed. https://imgur.com/a/IsQ9UFf

First of all thank you for this great program, I really enjoy it. I have found that there are many airports in which the static aircraft are not shown. These are not standard airports but addon sceneries with the gates coded for the airlines. Do the static aircrafts are added even if no real traffic is detected? Do you you have any ideas? Thanks again. Andrea

Hi Oliver, I am using your freeware 'axis and ohs' latest version (1.10 on P3dv5) and have found it very useful thanks. But not sure if this is normal behaviour...when trying to save/over-write a saved template that I have edited a pop-up always asks me to enter a new name for the template...if I enter the same name as the one I want to save/over-write it will ask me 'do I want to over-write the existing template'...should it not just automatically over-write the template I have selected to update? Secondly...when I try to change a control axis (say for example a throttle lever) by double clicking on the box for the existing axis...the dialogue appears as e…

Just cleaned my hard drive and installed P3dv5 and the first sceneries according to the xml method. I did a lot of reading on the xml method and thought I got it. But now after starting the Lorby Addon Manager I get an error for all my installed sceneries on "missing addon.xml" and it advises me to not continue opening the tool. What I have done: 1. I installed all my Aerosost airport sceneries according to this pattern in P:\P3D Addons\Airports\Airport 1\...(all the content including the scenery and effects folders) 2. Moved the installed addon.xml to the user/documents/p3dv5 addons\ folder :C:\user\documents\p3dv5 add ons\Airport 1\addon.xml 3. …

Hello Oliver. There's seems to be an error with the recent version of LorbySceneryExporter. Could you check it out please at https://forum.simflight.com/topic/89234-p3dv45-makerwys-490-fails-to-make-data/ ? I just want also to add and confirm to that thread that after installing and running Lorbi SI Organiser, makerunways works as intended even after uninstalling Lorbi SI Organiser. So i can't reproduce the error any more, although it's still there. Nick

Hello @ll, my freeware flight controller handling tool "Lorby AxisAndOhs" has now been expanded to support Logitech/Saitek Flight Information Panels. I am looking for FIP owners who would be willing to test the app on their setup. It would be ideal if you have more than one FIP you have the default Saitek Driver installed (or are willing to do so) The app is fully external and works like the default Saitek plugin. It is compatible with FSX, FSX-SE(non-beta), P3D V2 - V5, MSFS If you are willing to help, please send me a PM here in the forum. Many thanks in advance and best regards

Sorry to open new tread. I haven't seen anything similar. When I open P4AO I am getting error - Invalid or broken package....Navigraph Simlink....... XML..... Only V5..... with 4.5 no issues. It says that there is an Error in Simlink XML. With recent Navigraph update I have some issues. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing similar problems. I tried adding it myself and error pops again. Now I can see it but in pink which obviously means wrong path. I chose only one one file in Navigraph Simlink folder. (NavigraphSimlink_64.dll). No matter what I do it always open (Simlink\) but actual .DDL file is NavigraphSimlink_64.dll. I made mistake when entering…

Hello Oliver, I use LorbyLiveTraffic since p3d version 4.5 mainly for my Heli+GA Traffic ! But if I press 'Scan Simulator' in the GA configuration, only the default aircrafts and a few other aircrafts appear, which are included via add-on.xml ! Most other aircrafts (from external add-on.xml files) are not recognized !? Maybe you have an explanation for this ? What are the requirements for the airplanes to be recognized ? In the simulator I can use the airplanes without any problems ! regards ggerolamo

I just wanted to pass on my experience with both P3DV5 and P3DV5 HF1. If I install a scenery using the developers scenery, I must also run the addon manager prior to trying to start P3DV5. The addon manager tells me it has found new scenery and I need to click save. The Addon Manager then saves the scenery and P3DV5 will start. Failure to save the cfg with Addon Manager causes P3DV5 to not get past the splash screen. Hope this is useful. Greg

Hello Olivier. Maybe im being stupid here, is live traffic working with real traffic and p3d v5 ?? I get an error when I try to connect thanks 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.SimObjectFinder.ScanDirsRecursive(DirectoryInfo startPath) at LorbyLiveTraffic.SimObjectFinder.ScanDirsRecursive(DirectoryInfo startPath) at LorbyLiveTraffic.SimObjectFinder.Scan() at LorbyLiveTraffic.Defin…

Hi I have problems with BDO scenery for RJBB and VTSP. The scenery is installed and sits in the Addon Scenery folder in Prepar3d 4.5. When I try to use the scenery, the default scenery is loaded. The scenery isn't listed in the scenery library but if I try to add, I get a dialogue box saying the scenery is already in use. I downloaded the addon manger and neither scenery is listed. When I go to add the scenery, the addon manager also states that the scenery is in use. The scenery is for V4 and is the latest version. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this could be rectified? Cheers Craig

Hi, running P3D v5 with AOP4 b02. Some of the scenery is able to be activated, but other components cant be. For example, Orbx airports: FTX_AA_EGCW will activate/deactivate with a click. FTX_AA_EGFF does not activate no matter how many times I click it. I've ensured that I have full folder permissions. I did not have any problems prior to installing the P3D hotfix and updating to the AOP4 beta. What could be causing certain sceneries to not respond to AOP4 input? Thanks! Edit: Looking in the Prepar3D v5 Add-ons folder, I think I see the problem. Scenery that should read: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"…

Hello, love the Addon Organizer, been a user for quite a while. Had some encoding problems and fixed all of them but one. Just installed the latest version for use with P3D v5. I checked encoding, but I keep getting the incorrect character encoding for the c:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D V5\add-ons.cfg. Thing is, I've saved it every which way you can, it won't allow me to save it as ANSI. Suggestions? I don't suppose there's a way to actually say in the pop-up window, which encoding needs to be used?

In your spare time 🙂 some of us who run on 4K monitors have a helluva time reading the info text in P3D. Wonder if there's a reasonable way to increase the text size from outside P3D. Vic

Title says it all. Using Winzip - Entered pw both with and without "". Just get msg cannot decrypt with this pw. downloaded it three times - MD5 hash not what you show. Vic

On a different subject, I keep seeing an error each time I load your Flashlight. It loads then says, 'LorbyFlashlight has stopped working' ......................if a solution is available'. Any ideas what's flagging that up, Oliver? Is it because I have FSLabs Spotlights running for the FSL aircraft I have, as well?

Hello @ll, LLTX 2.01 brings several bugfixes and improvements, especially for the free OpenSkyNetwork datasource and the Hybrid mode when using RealTraffic. Many thanks to @abranpuko for his patience! And I have reactivated an old asset from the FSX days. When the selected datasource can see them (RealTraffic definitely can), you will see gliders in your simulator: (near EDDF during COVID lockdown, around midday) Best regards
