Our customer was right: it turned our that our installer messes up the exe.xml file, located at C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX . I was not aware that this file is used by other add-ons (scenery developers usually don't need it), hence why the problem occur. Now I can only say that I am sorry for this issue and that it will be fixed as soon as technically possible by making the automatic install system for this file (the installer will add a proper section rather than create a whole new file).

You might try filling-up that file manually and implementing paths to other products, if you know how it should be done properly (example):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SODE</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>D:\FSX\SODE\SimObjectDisplayEngine.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Couatl</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>EZdok camera addon</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\EZCA\EZCA.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


</SimBase.Document>


Underlined paths need to be changed to what you have in your computer. You might also use reinstall/repair options for other products that use this file.

EETN in P3DV2.3

Post by eke2000 »

Hi,
first of all thank the Poland from great Tallinn scenery.
I use P3DV2.3 and I'm running well GSX. I tried GSX in Ämari airport (EEEI-20nm from EETN) and this working OK. On the same flight (not closing simulator), I flew from EEEI to EETN and I tried then shift+D in Tallinn airport and also working well moving gates and hangar doors.
But I have a problem with airport lighting, more accurate runway and taxiway lighting,because they are not visible.Nor does it provide any effect to turn NAV2 to112.
May be buildings texture load very slowly (has long black) or it depends on my personal simulator settings?

regards

Hi,

Thank you for this nice scenery however I have also noticed as eke2000 that the buildings texture load very slowly and that we get some black square here and there.

Kind regards,
Ivan

So... We have made most of the textures load about 20% faster, with no visual difference. We have also designed a new, complex installer script that will handle correctly the exe.xml file by just adding a correct section where needed. We haven't fixed the lighting issue though - it seems to be very rare and it is hard to find its cause. Is there anyone else having the same problem with airport lights or just Felix?

It has been sent to stores just a few minutes ago (unfortunately it will not restore your original exe.xml , but that is obvious).

Dear Stanislaw

I have sent You an e-mail about it and check previous page of the current topic.
At least 4 persons in Estonia are having the same issue, both DX9 and DX10.

Yes, I have received it. We just can't figure it out, why it does work correctly on some computers why being invisible on others. So the v1.1 (v1.2 in some stores) does not address that issue. Theoretically these are simple BGL lights, used in hundrieds of sceneries - nothing special.

strange effect after 1.1

Post by eke2000 »

Hi,
after the upgrade to 1.1, there was a strange phenomenon. If you choose shift +D, then will not open anymore hangars doors, moving only door pillars (see pictures).Moving Gates is OK:

Please remove the following folders prior to installing the new version:
FSX\SODE\sdx\DrzewieckiDesign
FSX\SimObjects\Misc\DrzewieckiDesign_EETN
Than install the v1.1 again . I guess something has not overwritten properly.

Regarding the lights - it seems to be a problem with P3D v2.3 indeed (was fine in v2.2 though). I have already contacted Lockheed Martin team about that.

GSX and SODE

Post by eke2000 »

Hi,
I use P3DV2.3 and Tallinn X 1.1 and i tried use simultaneously GSX and SODE (SimObjectDisplayEngine) and this working well (moving gates and open/close hangars doors).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ov3at0itbumi ... x.jpg?dl=0

PS! When you arrive at the gate, where GSX waiting you, then there SODE Gate not visible but It`s logical because it works at the moment with GSX. All other gates have moving working gates.

For me, the only problem is runway lighting and perhaps it can be in future upgraded.
