Vickers Viking 1 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hallo, was ist mit der neuen Scenery unter prepar3d Version 4 und FTX Norway los, Flugzeuge schweben in der Luft wenn man den Flughafen aufruft! Viele Grüße Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 7, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hello, this is due to having multiple AFCAD files for Trondheim active, FTX Norway includes it's own files for Trondheim and for the scenery to display correctly these have to be deactivated. The configuration tool supplied with the scenery will do an automatic search for any files that could cause a conflict, see page 17 in the manual for more information. (page 29 in English.) It's also important to make sure that the Trondheim scenery has a higher priority in the scenery library than any of the FTX Norway / ORBX entries.

ETH767_Magnus 23 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Returning to Sode 1.4 did solve most of the issues for me, too. I am using FTX Norway in P3Dv3. Nevertheless, I still have an invisible afcad ~10m above the apron, so my aircraft is floating. Static aircraft are in the correct position. I tried to remove all FTX files containing ENVA from the ftx folder as well as from scenery/world/scenery. No change. Any Ideas? Edit: FTX is active in the configurator and ENVA has higher priority Edit 2: Just found the reason, it's your elevation fix that I deleted as well... sorry, my fault. Great looking scenery! Thanks a lot Edit 3: just realized that there are still some problems with the elevation, just not as appearant as before: any ideas? Please login to display this image.

Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 7, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi, if you run the configtool again do you get any warning of conflicting files when you click install selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomandreas 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hei Jo Erlend, Running P3D v4 with FTX Norway (selected in config tool). When I activate SODE in the config tool, almost all objects disappear. I have selected the correct (default) SODE common data path. Værnes is at number 1 in Scenery Library priority If I try to disable SODE the scenery appears. Any advice as to what might be causing this? I was really looking forward to all the cool SODE features. Ellers ser dette sabla bra ut! Mvh Tom Andreas Østrem Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 8, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi, can you make sure that the SODE entry is showing underneath Add-ons menu in the toolbar? Please login to display this image. If you did not have FSX installed before you installed P3Dv4 you need to install the Simconnect client manually, here's a video tutorial on how to do that in P3D.

tomandreas 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 SODE is indeed not showing. I already had 1.51 installed for GSX and it was working perfectly until now. I see that another thread seems to be discussing this issue, so I will monitor that and post further questions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted June 8, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just a shot into the blue as we had such case today: have you activated SODE for P3Dv4, or maybe only for P3Dv3 which you might have still installed on your machine?

tomandreas 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi Tom, Yes, registered and active. That's what I find strange. I have now done a complete unregister...uninstall...reboot...reinstall...reboot...register of SODE. In the config tool I point to the ProgramData folder as described in the manual. It still isn't working... I have also reached out to the SODE support forum for help. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoffer Michelsen 0 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have the same problem as tomandreas, but in p3d. SODE is showing under the toolbar, and it is indeed activated.. :/ Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you have SODE running in the toolbar please check inside "C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml" that you have these files: Please login to display this image. If you do not have these files run the configuration tool, press the SODE folder button and select this folder: C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\ When you then click install selected the xml files will be placed there automatically.

Boeing 707 8 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi I also have the issues above.. I have the files above in my SODE folder. But SODE is not showing under the toolbar, and it is indeed activated.. (i have green i the 2 boxes). And it's the same also for ENGM and ENBR (No jetways) Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jo. I do indeed have those files in my SODE folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 And if you look inside "P3D/SimObjects/Misc" do you see two folders named "SODE_ENVA" and "SODE_ENVA_DYN"? The only way I'm able to recreate the problem with SODE running is if these two folders are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 Do you have any other scenery addons that use SODE? If so does the objects show correctly at those airports? Until we figure out why SODE does not load the objects on your system you can disable the SODE features at Trondheim, do that by unchecking "Use SODE" in the configtool.

scotth6 145 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, I would just like to add what I am experiencing with the Trondheim Vaernes control panel. Everything seems to be working, and I have SODE visible and the dll connection is OK, and all the files mentioned above are present. The problem I have is when I click on "INSTALL SELECTED" on the control panel it just hangs and will not respond. I have waited for several minutes and it does not respond at all after I have clicked on "INSTALL SELECTED". Before I click this I can select all options OK and they react as expected. I tried the fix for the control panel mentioned in another thread, but that did not seem to have an effect. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, when you click install selected the configuration tool does a search inside the simulators root folder for any duplicate AFCADs for Trondheim or other files that needs to be disabled for the scenery to function properly. If it hangs for a long period of time it could be because it has to search through a large amount of files (Though I've never experienced it taking more than 10-20 seconds), depending on how many addons you have installed.

Problem was solved by adding a missing entry in the simobjects.cfg file, the entry for SimObjects/Misc was missing. If you experience that the scenery is missing but you have SODE underneath the add-ons tab in the menu check that you have this entry in the cfg file.

Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 Have you tried to uninstall SODE 1.5.1 and installing 1.4.2 instead? Some other customers had issues with SODE 1.5.1 not working correctly when they were running P3Dv3.Here's the download link to SODE 1.4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suniram 6 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi all, I also have a little problem which seems to be related to SODE in P3D V3. When landing at ENVA sometimes after touchdown the scenery just disappears for a second or two (giving the same image as in the post above) and then comes back...I have the last version with SODE 1.4.2 installed and it shows as activated... best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2122 Posted June 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, that's a limitation in how SODE loads and unloads scenery objects, every 6km it unloads then reloads the models.There's some more information about how this works here.
