ORBX England is released

That's quite a good error, sketchy... Much better than my attempts to install to Prepar3D resulting in it telling me that FSX's path isn't available... When it is. So is Prepar3D's. That still doesn't work and remains unanswered as well. I think they just want me to wait and do two seperate installs to FSX and P3D, when I'd really like a side-by-side installation.

Anyway, thanks for the comments, guys. I will make them work with Orbx ENG, somehow, but it may take some time. Any preferences for airfields to move to priority seats at the top of the list?

Hi Ian,
They said the same on their Forum, but for something I downloaded yesterday from them I was rather assuming this was up to date? Also what is and where can I find the latest "Orbx Library"?

Can you replicate it and click on the "Details" button to get the details of the issue.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object, might mean it's trying to read something that's not there. Could be Orbx library, could be VC++ runtime, could be anything without knowing the details.

How big was the installer/wrapper does it match to what you thought you were downloading from the Orbx site?

Darren thanks for the reply mate, (hope Bedfordshire treats you well?) I expanded the details on their site too, but here it is:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitdebugging="true">
</system.windows.forms></configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Also reference the size of the download, it was quoted as 3.12Gb and that is what I managed to download:

The last reply to my query on the Forum was have you tried uninstalling it and installing it again...... Reminds me of the IT Crowd.... lol

Thanks for the replies all...

The ORBX library is a collection of common objects used through the ORBX sceneries and are updated periodically, especially after something has been released (region or airport).

It can be found near the bottom of the support page http://www.fullterrain.com/support.html

it should be installed after any other type of ORBX installation as it will contain the most up to date variants of library models.
 
Thanks already Ian for all you efforts. I really hope you will succeed. Although I love the look of ORBX England, I can't imagine I will enjoy it without your airfields.

Cheers,
Huub
 
I don't have anything to read kmz files so could somebody tell me what coverage this has as I notice one comment saying it was further than they expected.

Cheers Ron
 
Hi Ron, it covers England.. .i.e not the whole of the UK but the 'England' part, I believe it also goes a little outside of the English borders due to the way FSX is designed (grids)

Wales, Scotland and Ireland are coming next (in that order)
 
Thanks for the updates, more than likely I'll wait until Wales and Scotland become available.

By the way I was aware that kmz files are read by google earth but I belong to the "don't install unless you really need it gang". ;) Less to go wrong or clog up your system. And don't ask me about "auto updaters" that software installs without asking you first. I hate them as I feel you lose control of your system, after all its yours not the blankty blank software firms.

Cheers Ron

Basically, what I need to do is to go to every airfield I've done, find all the problems, put linear object excludes through any modern road that is added (this happens with UTX as well, not just Orbx), create a grass landclass poly under every airfield to avoid trees showing through where Orbx have broken the default AB_xxx polygon, put one or more legacy "exclude everything" boxes over the top, upversion, edit the text file, rezip, re-upload, lather, rinse, repeat for every airfield.

...or just put up a post that says "Not compatible with Orbx scenery."

It looks from their forum like some of the England team want to do WW2 airfields anyway. I'd rather they fix the (not insignificant) issues with England first, but hey. If they want to create better airfields than me, it's not hard and they're very much more than welcome to do so. I only do what I do because no-one else did!

Ian. I guarantee that any of my sceneries works with only one other manfacturer's scenery. MS Flight Simulator. End of. If other manufacturers want to break the rules that's their problem not mine.
 
Sorry if I have missed it but how big (physically in GBs) is it? I currently have Horizon GenX installed and that was 12 dvds + 3 more dvds for the v3 update totally 95.6gb on hdd.

Bigger or smaller? (Smaller would be nice, to get some hdd space back) :)
 
Just a question based on the posts...I just want to understand clearly

So All addon scenery for England must be remove for this ORBX England scenery to work correctly

all Freeware ACG RAF and Duford? Popham, Oldwarden and such plus Payware like earthsimulations will not work with the ORBX england

and only ORBX addons will work with ORBX england

Nice screen shot Roger, the scenery and Plane/paint :applause:
