Brilliant, thanks 🙂

@Heinz Flichtbeil Will pressing the enable buttons for colors and seasons do any changes to standard X-Plane 11 files if you don't have the seasons pack installed? Reason for me asking is I did that yesterday night just to see if there would be any changes. I got this message telling me a scenery reload was required. I chose to allow that and it then took quite some time for it to finish. What happened (if anything) during that scenery reload when I didn't have the seasons plugin installed? I think I'll just skip all this for now but before putting this behind me, I want to make sure I don't go on from here with any modified files without knowing about it. I guess I could find out by launching the X-Plane 11 installer and allow it to replace any modified files. But only if necessary.

I guess I'll end up spending my time flying instead. Could be interesting to just give it a try though.

Ok, guess I'll try it for only a couple of tiles at first to see what's actually happening.

@FlyAgi Using the first approach isn't an option for me when you say it will require the double amount of space. I might try out the second approach. Is there anywhere I can learn what exact modifications are done to my tiles using that Winterizer program?

Many thanks for the input guys!

How is the colors and seasons features found in SAM 2 supposed to work? I'm using Ortho4XP all over Europe and I tried pressing the 'Enable' button next to Ortho4XP and the 'Enable' button next to Winter but can't see any difference. What exactly are these features supposed to do? If I would be able to get a winter look now with that season coming in many parts of Europe, it would be quite cool! At the same time I'm a bit scared when I don't know exactly what these features do and how they may affect my Ortho4XP tiles. I have almost 800 tiles/6 TB Ortho4XP ZL17 which took me quite a while to build. So I think it goes without saying I don't want to perform any actions that will screw up my tiles in any way... Reading the SAM documentation, I understand I need to download SAM Seasons extension? These are the features I'm talking of:

Success 👍 Just tried what you suggested replacing EXPORT_BACKUP with simply EXPORT. After doing this, I no longer get the pop up error and funny enough, doing this also got rid of the OpenSceneryX error messages in the X-Plane log file related to Orbx Cardiff. Brilliant!!

Thanks, will try what you suggest when I get home today. I already reported this issue to Orbx over here https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/183638-cardiff-a-couple-of-questions/?do=findComment&comment=1595948

IIRC, OpenSceneryX is a free library used by many freeware airports. The main reason I stopped using freeware airports and instead go with only payware airports was to not having to worry about extra libraries etc such as OpenSceneryX. Are you saying I need OpenSceneryX for the payware Paderborn scenery to work correctly?

Just loaded up a saved situation where I was parked in PAD and received the same error pop-up again. Attached is now the complete log file as requested. Log.txt

I've already restarted X-Plane meaning the log file has been overwritten. I'm positive though nothing else related to Paderborn was in there except for the lines above. Next time I see the pop up, I'll post the complete log.

Tonight, I flew into Paderborn for the first time. When getting close, I got this error message in X-Plane When checking log.txt in the X-Plane root folder, I found a number of warnings and error messages related to Paderborn as seen below. What I find a bit strange though is how the popup warning was referring to Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - City/ while the error messages in Log.txt is referring to Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - Airport/ WARNING: the named light airplane_beacon_rotate is actually a parameterized light. ERROR: object Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - Airport/Objects/EDLP_jetway_C_anim.OBJ has a bad light name: airplane_beacon_rotate WARNING: the named light airplane_beacon_rotate_sp is actually a parameterized light.

You do have filters as seen below but only for downloads or boxed products and from what manufacturer. This is where I thought it would have been great to also have a filter that would allow you to choose your simulator. For instance in my case X-Plane. Since I'm not interested in products for P3D etc. But no big deal Mathijs, again it was just a suggestion since I felt it would have made things easier for your customers.

I understand. However, since all filters are disabled by default, everything would still show. Unless you actively enable a filter to only show you titles for the simulator (or simulators) you're interested in. All up to you of course, just a suggestion 🙂
