No buildings after add on manager update **SOLVED**

(1/5) > >>

Well, I'm having a problem after purchasing CYVR and having the addon manager do its thing.    I'm going to try to be detailed in my description, yet not go on and on...

I'm using FSX with SP2 on a Win7 machine.    I already own all the Flightbeam airports along with LAX / ORD / FLL / LAS and all the Hawaii packages.   All worked perfectly.   I decided to take advantage of the sale and purchased YVR and once I installed that and let the addon manager do its thing, I have no buildings at any of the airports.   I have jetways, AI, ground textures - no structures.   I also noticed that the addon manager tells me the scenery that I have IS installed, but in a TRIAL version only.   I tried to re-enter the registration keys, and nothing happens.   I also tried to reinstall from the addon manager in FS and again - nothing happens.   I saw that it was mentioned to try downloading the addon manager stand alone and try that, so I did and again, no buildings.

I re-downloaded the individual installers and tried to reinstall a couple of airports that way - no change, still no buildings.   I checked my scenery.cfg file and everything is pointed in the right place for both Flightbeam and FSDT sceneries.   I saw in the forum that someone suggested completely uninstalling the scenery and re-installing completely fresh.   I wanted to post this to see if there was another way to fix this, before going through that.

Any ideas?

edit:  I just saw this in another thread about the same problem -->   "We found a problem, it was an issue with the Live Updater, which in some cases didn't always download all the required files. The fix is online now so, anybody installing anything will get the updated Updater, without requiring to download the full scenery installer."   

If I need to retry this, should I just re download CYVR and try again?



Thanks
Chris

There's an FSDT Live Update on your Desktop, try that first.

Just ran the Live Update again and have the same problem.   No buildings.   I also have some annoying pauses at each scenery.

Update:

I re-downloaded the stand alone addon manager, reinstalled it, and reran it.   I noticed it ran faster this time, with less loading/installing messages.   When I fired up FSX I got all the "Activate CYVR" messages this time since I just purchased it and had not seen these yet.   Also, in the addons drop down in FSX, Couatl is now listed.   It was not there previously and I didn't realize it was missing.  Plus, the addon manager no longer has the scenery listed as trial version, everything appears registered now.    Good news, right?    Well, I checked both FSDT and FB sceneries and still no buildings.  (sigh)

If this helps pinpoint the issue.....I noticed at Flightbeam's KIAD, while the main terminal and cargo buildings are missing, the aviation museum located off the end of runway 1R is there.   I've attached 2 screenshots showing the missing buildings at KIAD and the museum

It seems that everything is in place - except the airport buildings.

I had the same issiue.

For me the problem was that coutal.exe has not been added to the EXE.XML in Users\....\Roaming\LockheedMartin Folder.

After i added the coutal.exe entry manually to the exe.xml everything works perfect.
