AddOn.Component order causes errors


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

The only tool that seems to reliably allow us to work with both scenery.cfg and the addon.xml system is the freeware Prepared3D V4 Add-on organizer from Lorby-Si.  As this tool allows you to reorder layers and all of the other things you might want to use, I feel it is necessary to use it.  What this has to do with the EFB is that when the <Scenery> element does not appear first in a scenery area, then the DataProvider won't be able to read the scenery.  This becomes a problem with FSDreamTeam and older FlightBeam  sceneries that use FSDreamTeam's Addon Manager.  When the <Texture> element appears above <Scenery>, the scenery area won't be read and then the Display Unit won't show the correct scenery.

 

I have already reached out to Lorby-Si to inquire why the elements are rearranged by the tool.  My question here is, why not use addon-scenery.xml to harvest the scenery folders?  Or, perhaps look for the scenery element in the Addon.xml file?  I may be wrong how this all works, but I am reporting an issue with EFB 1.6.10 where sometimes the Data Provider won't read correctly using the addon.xml system.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
