You can freely use TE hand placed objects & autogen above MET ortho. I've done it with Autoortho in XP11, left ORBX GB autogen.

I have installed TrueEarth South - could you show what need disabling and the order in SceneryPacks.ini?

Yeah just disabled the orbx ortho overlay section in the scenery ini with the DISABLED flag.

I'm not seeing a difference! 🤔

With all the good luck everyone is having installing Orbx True Earth HD, Think I install them into XP12.

So you don’t see map enhancement ortho instead of the orbx true earth outdated ortho?

Hello,

I just picked up Global Forest for XP12 and I'm unable to install it via OrbX Central.

It gives installations errors for both the libraries and Global forest.

It also suggest to "Verify Files" but the same error occurs.

I am trying to install directly to XP12 directory.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Update:

I was able to install it after deleting and reinstalling OrbX Central and running XP12 once.

If the error is during the download process, You'll have to redownload. I have three computers I'm installing TE/HD and I got the libraries error on one computer.

I have it working now. Just disabled the True Earth Ortho layer and SimHeaven.  I see the Orbx buildings and trees over the Map Enhancement Ortho.  TrueEarth trees are more numerous than SimHeaven, so another bump up in realism.  TrueEarth building are very nice too.

I would leave only these lines:

Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Custom

and 

Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Overlay

(example)

I think if you have Simheaven below the Orbx line, you can just leave it enabled.... So if doing a flight from UK to France for example....Both are active. 

What y'all can try to do is place X-Europe above Global Forests in scenery_packs.ini. In theory, this should draw X-E's trees in this region over GF's.

Thank you, all working with the order as you suggest.

Just tested this. Relevant scenery_packs lines, in order:

Quote

...

SCENERY_PACK_DISABLED Custom Scenery/simHeaven_X-World_America-7-forests/

...
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/simHeaven_X-World_Europe-7-forests/
...
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Global_Forests_v2/

X-Europe's forests have a higher priority than Global Forests, thus drawing X-Europe's in XP. X-America's forests are deactivated and therefore, GF's will be drawn.

@Bjoern, thx for the report, so, disabling the X-World forest layers is what makes the GB forests come to view when both are in use !

 

Yes. Or giving GF higher priority than X-E/A or vice versa, depending on which you want to see.

Sorry for the off topic, I'm trying to use Map Enhancement with ADSL (I don't have fiber optics in my area).

Despite the "slow" connection the application seems to work well with low definition maps (note: I fly at high altitude, I'm happy with low definition).

However, all the night lights of the towns, roads, cities have disappeared. 🤔
Only the lights of the airports/runways are visible.
Do I need to install some special light package to get the lights back with Map Enhancement? (note: I don't use Simheaven)

In the Map Enhancement tool, in the download base package section, did you tick 'overlays'?  I use SimHeaven which has its own overlays, but I guess you need the overlays for default scenery in the MET.
