Flyboy3245:
Good afternoon,

I am struggling to figure out what is going wrong with my FSDT installs for KLAX, KORD and GSX. I have tried installing with No AntiVirus on, Administrator Privileges, Different Ad-don Manager Folders, Stand alone ad-don manager installed, P3D V4 only.

Every time I go into the scenery library all my FSDT scenery's are at the top of the list but are transparent and cannot be selected. This is driving me nuts!! I also have ORBX FTX Global installed and I am wondering if there is a compatibility issue that needs to be addressed.

Please help! This is what both my scenery's are doing. Photos attached.

Thanks

And why you think this is a problem ? That's how they are supposed to be, and every scenery installed using the new add-on.xml method, which is the suggested one by LM, will look like that in the Scenery Library.

Instead, the other problem, with parts missing, seems that you haven't waited enough for the sim to create the shaders, assuming the installation had a problem, so you must have quit the sim before letting it complete the shaders creation.

Ok I now understand this is how the scenery's are now entered.

As far as the shaders go, your scenery's are the only ones having problems. Everything else works fine. I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to say.

You still haven't said if you waited enough to let the sim recreate the shaders. It might take a couple of minutes, depending on how fast your system is.

And no, it's not "only our scenery" that does this. Every scenery does this, but you might have not noticed, because other sceneries might use simpler shaders which were ready sooner, because they were used by the default scenery.

If you are sure you waited enough, then it's likely a problem with your video settings. Or, you can try to force a rebuild of shaders, by removing this folder:

%COMMONAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders

Then start the sim, and wait AGAIN. My shaders folder has 2407 files, so it's refresh is NOT immediate.

I have deleted the shaders folder out of the P3D Local App Data folder and have sat on the ground at LAX since 3pm and nothing has been rewritten. As you can see from the picture this has just made things worse. I highly doubt this is doing anything and I'm not sure why you think waiting longer is going to change anything. I don't even have an airplane showing anymore!! Its clear I have some sort of problem and its also clear that deleting the shaders folder has not helped.

PLEASE HELP!!
