Active but not in scenery library **SOLVED**

(1/3) > >>

Greetings,
I am just coming back to the hobby after many years, and trying to re-install my sceneries.
I am now using P3Dv4, and I downloaded all the latest installers. (KJFKv2, KORD, KDFW)

Everything installs fine, but I do not see the sceneries in game.
If I look into addon-manager, I see the message "Active but not in scenery library"
How do I add them to the scenery library?

Thanks!

The installer will automatically add the sceneries to the Scenery Library, there's nothing you must do to do that, and it's impossible the installer would fail to do this, since our installer use a service provided by the sim *itself* to add the sceneries to the Scenery Library.

Note that I said "Scenery Library", not the scenery.cfg file because, under P3D4, we DO NOT use the scenery.cfg file anymore but, instead, we use the native P3D4 installation method of having an add-on.xml file which will add a scenery to the Scenery Library, without having to add it to the scenery.cfg.

And, this method is controlled entirely by P3D4.

It is possible you are using some kind of external utility, like the infamous Migration Tool, to install into P3D4 something that wasn't originally made for it ?

Such utilities will only make all the proper products that requires to identify P3D4 properly to stop working, because they mess up with the registry, the file executable version, etc.

Hi,
I just figured out tonight what was the issue.
I am doing a fresh install into p3dv4, so I am downloading all the installers fresh from all vendors. (if compatible with p3d)

I was desperate to have my favorite airports back online, so I dived into p3d, which was a good exercise for me to understand the difference in the innerworkings compared to fsx.

The addon xml file in the user documents (C:\Users\username\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FSDreamTeam addon xxx) for KDFW had a couple of missing closing tags </AddOn.Component>.
Once I fixed this, all other FSDT addons and some others I had problems with came alive.

Thanks for the help.

That's only possible because either you (or another utility that might try to use/read the file) has changed it. We surely don't install the scenery with a corrupted XML file.

You can confirm this by removing it and reinstall the scenery again. I'm sure you'll find the installer installs a proper XML file.

Hi Umberto,
On this subject, I notice if I ever update P3Dv4 to say 4.3, that I usually lose the access to FSDT sceneries. Like now for instance, it sees all my FSDT sceneries in trial mode and wants me to reinstall the serial numbers. Is there a way of connecting the reg file to the licence key reinstall requirement?
