Title: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up
Post by: tangowhiskey on September 23, 2020, 06:23:56 pm
Hi Umberto,

first of all thank your for creating KEYW airport for MSFS, it's always much fun flying in the Keys. 

Unfortunately when loading up at the airport there are no buildings but the airport tower. All other objects like the animated people are there.

Do you have any idea what could be causing that? I saw that another user had a similar problem at KORD, caused by too many files named modelLib.BGL. Might that be a similar issue here?

Your help to sort it out would be very much appreciated.

Best regards

Toby

It can't be because, after we found this issue, we changed the name of that file at KORD, and in KEYW has always been different. First, try the Live Update again, it will surely load any missing files.

Also, try to restart your system, another user had the problem of floating people, and it was solved after a reboot.

solution not working for me, still no buildings,

might this be conflicting with LVFR KMIA?

Same here. Reinstalled it three times - with LatinVFR KMIA installed and not installed - rebooted the system and also did the Live Update:

Start checking for MSFS updates
QlmLicenseLib.dll registered successfully
License for FSDT Key West for MSFS verified successfully, proceed with update
Scenery files digitally signed to MININT-UIL4N7V\tobyw - 188.194.52.240
Completed

Unfortunately the result is still the same - the only airport building showing up is the tower...

Do you have this file ?

Addon Manager\MSFS\fsdreamteam-airport-keyw-keywest\scenery\FSDT_KEYW\scenery\Simultech_KEYW_modelLib.bgl ?

I'm fairly sure you have it, since it's surely included in the installer but you never know...also, what other 3rd party sceneries you have installed ? Do you have the Navigraph beta installed perhaps ?

The beta replaced all the default navaids/airports but, if you don't have it, then it's not navigraph, so it must something else.

We cannot reproduce it, of course, but we don't have that scenery so, it would be helpful if you tried removing it, and report if there's any difference.

Glad to hear that your buildings are showing up now. I don't have the Guitar Hotel installed, but I had Kennedy Space Center. I removed the folder and reinstalled KEYW, but the buildings are still missing. Will look into it again, when Asobo released their next patch, maybe that solves my issues. In the meantime many thanks to everybody for your help... 

Cheers, Toby

Just bought the Key West today and I have the same problem. Is not showing the buildings. I hate to mention this but, why messing with such a good simple installation and turn it into a complicated thing just like it is with P3D? I really don't have a problem installing the airport directly to the community folder. I was hesitant to buy this product from you for this very reason. I even got an email from you telling me that I would have a discount if I buy KORS but I didn't because of this kinds of problems. I just need to know why is not showing the airport properly, and what do we need to do to fix this.

Thanks

It is not an installation problem, the product is simple and has no complications that you list, as at the moment the SDK does not allow active modules and other features. The installation from the point of view of windows and Flight simulator is inside the community folder we use a symbolic link to physically move the files into the addon manger folder but logically the files remain inside the community folder, even ORBX has the same approach. Flight simulator does not have a scenery library the problem is caused by interactions between products that are in the area even at a distance of hundreds of KM, obviously on a clean installation the problem does not exist, in the case of another user it is solved by removing Guitar Hotel Florida and Kennedy Space Center, it is impossible for us to try all the existing packages for the area so please tell us what you have installed additional in the area (with a radius of at least 1000 KM from KEYW)

Installation doesn't have anything to do with this problem, and it doesn't bear any relationship whatsoever to the way we install sceneries in FSX/P3D, which used software modules to add features we don't have in MSFS.

 You are probably mislead thinking the Addon Manager is used here ( it's NOT ) or has anything to do with this scenery ( it's NOT ) "just" because you see it's installed *there* but that's just a convenience which gives the following benefits:

- We don't place anything in the Community folder, JUST a symbolic link. This is obviously the cleanest approach, which gives you the flexibility to choose to install our stuff in a different drive/folder than the sim, which something lots of users wanted and appreciate. I'm not sure filling the simulator own folder with stuff is very smart and, of course, is not as if we are the only one using this method, since Orbx does exactly the same.

- Being inside the Addon Manager folder, is that we can use the FSDT Live Updater there and the clear obvious advantage of this, is that since the Live Updater is run at the end of the install, you'll get the scenery automatic updated to the latest version EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LATEST INSTALLER, which in this case is even more useful to have BECAUSE we don't use the Addon Manager/Couatl in MSFS, so the scenery doesn't have a Trial, and so the installer is not always freely available to download at any time. But this way, at least, even with an old installer, you'll still get the latest updates. An obvious advantage of this, is that we ALREADY got an update yesterday, a few hours after release, which fixed the issue of some people floating over the terminal and *adds* animated people in the elevated glass walkways.

Of course, the problem you are having doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the scenery, or the fact it's installed in the Addon Manager folder ( again, it doesn't USE the Addon Manager!! ). As being found on our forum, the missing buildings are caused by ANOTHER SCENERY in conflict. For some users it was some freeware objects for Florida, in other cases it was a freeware scenery for Cape Canaveral, but it might also be something else we don't know about.

While with FSX/P3D, there's a Scenery Library with a way to set a priority, so we could at least say "place the airport on top of everything else", and this usually solves most of the conflicts, since our scenery obviously comes with proper Exclusion zones that are supposed to exclude all sceneries *below* itself, in MSFS there's no such thing, we don't know if Asobo/MS are planning to include some kind of Scenery Library page with the ability to rearrange things, but for the time being, you just have to be careful what you install.

Good morning or evening all!

I also have had this problem last night and I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I’ve done a clean install removed all addons for Florida that were freeware and I’m still seeing no buildings what so ever.

I wonder if it has to do where my MSFS is located. It’s on my F drive and Fsdreamteam products are all on my C drive. If someone can find a fix for this please let me know thank you again.

Just bought the scenery and for me there is no terminal too :o. The only Floridascenery I use beside is LVFR KMIA. No freewareaddons. The installation went in my FSDT folder, where the other stuff for P3D is in. There was a separate subfolder created called MSFS, right below the folder called addon manager and in the communityfolder of MSFS there is a symlink for KEYW. I'm a little bit confused what to do know ???.

So do we need to uninstall everything within at least a 1000 KM from KW to see if the buildings show up?

Just discovered that cars are hovering in the air:

What a pity that KEYW is not available via the marketplace yet. I bought KORD via the place and it works like a charme. Maybe the reason will be some copy protection?

Hello.
I uninstalled the files you suggested are causing the problem (NASA buildings and guitar hotel) and still the buildings in Key West airport are not showing up. I don't have KMIA installed so that is out of the equation. I do not have Navigraph either.
Update: I just uninstalled all the addons in FL and TX and made no difference.
I have nothing else to uninstall that could affect the Key West airport unless I uninstall ORBX airports on the PNW and airports in Europe.

Same problem here. I'm not sure what is missing, but I have people and cars hovering in the air. Guy in the tower is there, but when he moves his arm, he has two right arms.

I have noticed that since the last patch, some times when I drag an add-on into the Community folder, usually a small scenery object/fix, I get a Windows pop-up that says "the filename is too long, make it shorter." It even happens with very short 2 or 3 letter filenames.

Could this be affecting the files inside the Key West scenery installation directories?

So my MSFS was installed into my F: drive so within that drive is community and official folders. My addon manager however is in my C: drive.

I also tested out some stuff today - unfortunately without any success. My community folder contains only payware now, the only ones located in the US are LatinVFR's KMIA and KDEN/KPDX from flightbeam, but the buildings in KEYW are still missing.

Which version of Microsoft Flight Simulator are you using for development, Umberto? Because I stumbled over something: I'm using the Premium Deluxe Version and on the World Map Key West is marked as "Star Airport/POI" like KMCO airport or Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria for example. I tried to find out what kind of scenery or POI Asobo implemented there, but didn't find anything so far. So maybe that scenery is conflicting with your KEYW? Just a thought…

Post by: dobee51 on September 24, 2020, 10:21:02 pm
After deleting all of the freeware from my Community folder, KEYW loaded with all buildings and people. So there is some kind of a conflict.

Sadly one of the sceneries I had to remove was the NASA scenery, which is where I wanted to fly from KEYW.

Something has to be done here, can't delete my NASA scenery (even though it looks like that's not what's causing the problem).

This is useful to know, although a bit odd, since the content.xml file is supposed to be created by the sim automatically based on what it finds installed, nowhere in the SDK or anything else is said you can alter it to *control* layer ordering, like the former Scenery Library in FSX.

Just to be sure, you placed it on the first lines on top ?

2 users have reported the tower man with two arms. It’s actually more than that if you goto the other side of him. There’s actually 2 people there. Anyways, I appreciate the input. Is there another place I should go to get support for my issue?

Yes, I placed it into the second line, right below "fs-base" and that seems - from my absolute non-professional point of view - to alter the priority layers of sceneries and brings back all the buildings. :) Really interesting indeed...

That's the only place you can get support but, of course, how we can possibly support you if we cannot see what you see, and nobody else reported it.

Most of the people that posted here reported things MISSING, which was clearly caused by other conflicting scenery, and after the last posts by Kai-Uwe and tangowhiskey that is fixed by altering the loading order in the content.xml file, it's 100% sure it was caused by another scenery in conflict, but the double people is unique.

The only thing sure is: we haven't put any double object ourselves. It can *possibly* be caused by a problem in video drivers or settings. Which card you have ?
Title: Re: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up
Post by: Kai-Uwe on September 26, 2020, 12:06:15 am
I placed it below the Asobo-entries, so that about 7 or 8 entries of them are above KEYW. Right below I placed LVFR KMIA. KMIA was a little bit odd for me: There was no entry in content.xml but in  the installation manager in the sim there it was listed. I reinstalled it but the scenery didn't take place in the content.xml, ergo there was no scenery in the sim, only default. Puh, what a mess! So I copied an entry which was in the content.xml already and altered it with the parameters of KMIA. And voila, KMIA was back again too, KEYW is still there and tomorrow I will make a nice leg between these two ones :D.

Oh I’m so sorry!! I should have indicated I created a separate thread for this. I saw dobee51’s post and thought it all might be related.

Please see here: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,24241.0.html

dobee51 and I have double people. I can take a screenshot of the tower man too if you need it. But it seemed more obvious to show the problem with the other people in front of the airport.

I have an Nvidia 2080S running latest drivers and Win 10 2004.

I’ll try the content.xml change here in a bit too and see if that changes anything.

This worked for me !  Thanks.

Had the same issue here with only the tower showing.  Obviously there is a conflict with other scenery but I'm not sure why FSDT can't avoid this or know why it could happen.

However, doing what Kai-Uwe did, by moving the KeyWest package up the list in the content.xml to the top of all the add-on scenery (still keeping it below any Asobo scenery) did indeed work.

hi, had same problem, but edit content.xml give me all buildings, thank you, i don't believe place of addonmanager change something, as i see everything simple as can, scenery in addon subdir, and in community symbo link, orbx do that as well, so i don't mess with other addons, just in content.xml move line with keyw some up, not top, no shiva guy in the tower btw, just low grass between taxi and ranway, but i think it's ok
p.s. btw i found not only scenery.bgl double, but objects.bgl double, hope that's will change, i mean logic of scenery indexation, what will independed of same names

As explained many times in this an many other threads, there's just nothing we can do from our side to fix a problem caused by another scenery in conflict.

Quote

Of course it is, when there are no other conflicting sceneries installed. Or, when you rearrange the areas in the CONTENTS.XML file, which is only required when you are another scenery in conflict because, rearranging the areas there, is to allow the sim to change the loading order, to the conflict scenery won't get a chance to cause the problem.

This not not different than moving areas up in the Scenery Library, like in FSX or P3D, just the sim doesn't have an user interface to do that, doesn't mean that, "just" because the sim doesn't have allow you to rearrange things easily, that scenery conflict caused by other sceneries won't ever happen again.

Is the installer working properly?

Of course it is, why you even think the installer ever had any problems ?

I have bought KEYW scenery today and had to move the entry up in content.xml to see the buildings.

Thanks for the info. Cheers.

Where is the CONTENTS.XML file?
How far up is it required to be moved?
After moving it upwards has anyone noticed a conflict with another scenery?
Many thanks.

Where is the CONTENTS.XML file?

Up one level from the Community folder

It depends where the conflicting scenery is located. Start by placing it somewhere in the middle, if it's not enough, move it higher, and so on.

Nobody reported any.

While KEYW can be a victim of another scenery ( one that likely has wrong Exclusion areas ), by itself it has all its Exclusion areas correctly set to affect ONLY the default KEYW airport and nothing else so, I don't think it could cause any problems TO other sceneries.

I’ve been having good luck with just deleting the Content.xml file and let MSFS sort it out. It will get rebuilt on next startup.

I removed all free ware from the Content folder and all is well.  Now I have to find the culprit.

Hello ,

I just purchased KEYW for msfs2020 ! The Installation was Ok without any issues !
I did a flight to check the scenery and everything was fine !
Then i installed all ORBX Sceneries and some others from Microsoft Marketplace !
I did another flight at KEYW and i Noticed that All the Buildings were missing !
I tried to solve my issue reading through the forums but Unfortunately i am Unable !

Any help will be appreciated

Thank you ,
Mike

I can only confirm the problem is caused by another scenery in conflict. Some users fixed it by removing them, other by removing the CONTENT.XML file located here:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache ( if you have the MS Store version )

%APPDATA%\Microsoft FlightSimulator\LocalCache ( if you have the Steam version )

Remove the CONTENT.XML, the sim will create one on the next start, this has fixed the problem for some users.

Hi,

I have tried all of the many suggestions made in the earlier (long) existing thread of messages on this topic but none of them have worked. Is the current version 1.3? That is the version shown in my Content Manager within the  game. I wonder if this problem could be a new issue related to any of the recent MSFS2020 core or world updates (?), since I used to have the airport buildings ok (I can't remember when I last flew from KEYW). Any help/suggestions of other things to try to fix this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You don't say which version you have: FSDT/Simmarket or the MS Marketplace version ?
Title: Re: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up
Post by: Nkurun on June 28, 2021, 08:13:09 pm
I have the FSDT version.

Ok, check if you see the message about downloading and digitally signing the scenery during the FSDT Live Update step of the process. Look for any errors.

Hello,

I am having the same issue of the terminal building not showing nor the Cubana aircraft.  I've tried everything suggested in this thread with no luck.  To be clear, I tried installing with and without antivirus enabled, deleted the content.xml file (also moving the scenery line to the top), I've updated through the addon manager, I've removed all sceneries and only installed the KEYW one.  Nothing has worked. 

I notice that when I go to window's Add/Remove section, the scenery is showing as version 1.1.1 despite running the updater.  Also, when I go to the MSFS world map area, the airport has a third party content icon, but it does not have a star icon like other premium airports I have purchased.  The only other thing I can think of that is odd is the installer always hangs when it says "Performing step 6 of 510" but it eventually finishes installing after a few minutes.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

If you can confirm you saw the key west file downloaded and digitally signed, it means installation is all fine, and if you don't see buildings, it's because of another scenery in conflict.

I see that and get no error messages. I have also tried loading KeyWest as the only scenery (symbolic link) in my community folder and still have no airport buildings (or Antonov plane at the end of the runway) but the fighter squadron at the neighboring air base do show up.

i had same problem at first versions, couple a month ago, after update and restart windows problem gone, now, after update i found problem again, all buildings keyw gone
found my own post, forgot what i did:) i changed line keyw place, as guys said, in context.txt, and then it works, and after doesn't untill restart windows
Title: Re: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up

That suggests to me that this problem has something to do with the latest MSFS2020 core or Nordics update. Are the buildings still showing on your system with those updates Umberto?

Hello,

I am having the same issue of the terminal building not showing nor the Cubana aircraft.  I've tried everything suggested in this thread with no luck.  To be clear, I tried installing with and without antivirus enabled, deleted the content.xml file (also moving the scenery line to the top), I've updated through the addon manager, I've removed all sceneries and only installed the KEYW one.  Nothing has worked.

same, except i haven't any av soft, and in uninstall info is show v1.0 keyw i get just it was born, and from first version till now havent any problems, except once at old update and now, but first time i found solution, right now scenery don't work
p.s i uninstall scenery, and default scene have all buildings, so this is not wrong exclude of other scenery, something wrong in 1.3 update, may be it's ok 1.3 installer, or conflict with something else, but it's not exclude of other scene, it can be found in content manager, but no star on map, and scene totaly broken
https://ibb.co/XSqTfb7 <<<<<<<<may be that's help
>>>>>> this from orbx <<<<<<< The download size of this product is 458.37 MB. It uses 1.06 GB when installed.
so it's orbx outdate version, or i have invalid update of fsdt?
heh:) looks like orbx key west is another scenery

I just came in here looking for help because I also have no buildings at FSDT Key West....but this is a new problem for me...or at least I have not flown out of Key West for awhile.

Anyway, I just wiped my computer with a clean install of Windows 10 and a clean install of FS2020 from the Microsoft Store.  FSDT Key West is currently my only installed airport/add-on and when I go there I am missing all buildings.  So whatever is happening it's happening with a clean install of everything and no other add-ons installed.

Also just to confirm....I saw that my files and registration were verified by the FSDT Live Updater and I also deleted the content.xml file with no results...still have no buildings.

Of course they do. Do you really think that, after a user reports something like this, I reply without checking first ?

Do you see the link to the scenery in the Community folder ?

Yes I see the link to the scenery in my community folder. Any ideas what could be causing this issue for some users since it still works on your system with the latest MSFS2020 updates?
Title: Re: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up
Post by: einherz on July 04, 2021, 01:11:25 am
i have one unlikely idea, could it be conflict with rex/zinertek, i will not check it, as i use orbx keyw right now
Title: Re: KEYW for MSFS - buildings not showing up
Post by: Nkurun on July 04, 2021, 05:29:07 pm
I don't have Rex or Zinertek so guess that is unlikely to be the cause. I was wondering, Umberto, if the Key West buildings file could be modified in any way to make it less susceptible or less likely to be in conflict with another MSFS 2020 file? Key West is the only MSFS2020 add on scenery to have this issue as far as I am aware. None of the many other addon sceneries I have has had this issue.

Please be absolutely sure your firewall is disabled and you configured the antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning, and do again the FSDT Live Update.
