I stated up P3d v4.5 for the first time in a week or so. I got a series of error messages pertaining to the scenery config. I had put all of Orbx on my D drive with a connection to P3d. It was working just fine. Well, today this problem showed up.
I haven't gone to the new Orbx installation program. I'm wondering if a Windows update messed it up or if somehow its an Orbx problem.
No new scenery installation or any thing like that. I guess I could reinstall with the new installer, but have notice others having problems with it. Any thoughts? I'm also having a problem. Mine was likely triggered by the hotfix i just installed.
Does anybody know where LCNorthAmerica and vector save ALL the files. I uninstalled and deleted the files in the main P3D/ORBX directory. Then re-installed and my problem came right back. I'm guessing I missed some files. So I'm thinking I either find the rest of the files and delete them, delete everything orbx and start again, or possibly even re-install again but to a different directory to see if that helps. I posted this originally in the main hotfix thread, but didn't want to take that thread off track.
The pic below shows what I was dealing with. Anbody know where to find all the orbx files for LC/Vector? Don't delete the files, use FTX Central to uninstall whatever sceneries you have trouble with.Unfortunately, using FTX Central to uninstall does not delete the corresponding files.
Fsx Orbx Global
The issue comes up when installing regions/airports that turn specific BGLs off (add the.off extension). When you uninstall/reinstall or verify the files those BGLs get reinstalled and you end up with both files in the folder.
Then you cannot turn off the conflicting BGLs because the.off version already exists. You can do it manually by scanning for duplicate files (same file size but one with.BGL, one with.off) but it can be tedious.

Unfortunately, using FTX Central to uninstall does not delete the corresponding files.RandySo today I updated to P3D v4.5 HF2 (client, content & scenery) and followed Elaine's steps for correcting the Orbx files.
Then I started the sim (F22 @ KVPS Rwy 19) and did a quick flight over to KHRT. Sure enough, the black textures were back.I used FTX Central to uninstall openLC NA and watched as the 2 NA folders were deleted!
Not sure what's going on there but I previously had to delete the folders manually. Anyway, reinstalling openLC NA fixed the issue:(not sure why inserting link via 'Insert other media' is not working.Randy.
