Terra Flora Trees
« on: July 20, 2018, 11:00:58 AM »
2 evenings ago, I added Terra Flora ... the result was amazing, moving trees! And I think better tree "objects" than in the default. But yesterday I turned on my sim (P3D V4.3) and Terra Flora was not "there." The default objects were showing. 

I know that the 3D animation has to be turned off.
In Scenery/Global/Scenery the vegitation.off and vegitation_TF.bgl are showing as they should.

Wonder if anybody else has had a problem. It has to be a setting "here" because I did see it work once.

Replying to myself. I've uninstalled the product and all of the folders. I then re-installed everything and let the program pick the folder where things go, so it is set up exactly as TF should be. My mesh is at 5, Animated 3D is "off" and the two vegetation files in scenery/global/scenery are what they should be. (vegetation.bgl.off and vegetation_TF.bgl). Still, I am only getting the default trees. Not sure what else to try. Ideas?

Sorry I don't have much input on this however I do also have the Terra Flora trees but I'm still using P3D v2.5. I've purchased v4.3 though but haven't had much time to install and configure all the addons I have due to my crazy work schedule right now. I love the way the trees look now though but haven't seen moving trees yet.

Might want to check with Turbulent or ORBX for some answers

Thanks Brad, I've had a request for help over there for 3 days ... nothing coming back. I'm pretty sure it is ok in 4.3 (Norm uses it). What was strange was I saw it working one time, then it quit. Can't get it back no matter what I do. :-)

I think I have just reinstalled my Terra Flora trees.  :P   I ran the installer, anyway.  I am going out to take a look now.   ???   No configuration options that I can see.  ???  I'll report back if I've got TF trees showing.  ;)

Great Jeff. I'm wondering should TF show up under "Add-ons" on the V4 top menu?  I see it in the Scenery library, at the top and grayed out, but checked active. The only out of ordinary thing I see is this during the install:

When I was in Vegas in June, met with John Venema, Holger, Bill Womack and the ORBX team at the Flightsim Expo. It was great and again, they all had nothing but high praise for RTMM. John said that Turbulent would be a part of ORBX soon and I was curious if that's happened or not. I think it has but wasn't sure.

I love those trees though.

Hi Doug,
     I didn't have any errors.  I do have an option for the Terra Flora trees in the "Add-ons" menu.  Orbx Objectflow v2 and AI lights reborn (I think it's called.  :P ) are there also.  I DON'T have any entries in my scenery library for TF.  There should not be any.  There is a Terra Flora Library that is activated in the core scenery system, but not in the scenery library.  ;)

     I couldn't find these files on my system.  "(vegetation.bgl.off and vegetation_TF.bgl)."   :-\

edit:  I found them.   :P

OK, it NOT showing up in the menu tells me it just isn't getting installed, so something is going wrong in that process (perhaps the error that I earlier in the thread). Attached here is what I'm seeing in my Scenery Library ... does yours show this?

Yes, I now have an entry like that for the Turbulent Libraries at the top of my scenery library also.

Hello Doug,
I have the TF trees installed in P3dv4.3, too. And I do not have any issues.
First, I had the ORBX HD trees installed. I deinstalled them in ORBX Central and installed the TF trees.
In P3dv4.3, I have the Dynamic 3D autogen trees unticked.

I have an entry in P3D addons menu and the same entry like you in the scenery library.
In the sim the TF trees are shown fine for me.

Thanks a bunch Jeff. That should be enough clues for them to figure it out.  I've git it all posted on their P3D V4 forum ...now if  I could just  hear from them.

Corbu1...
OK...thank you. That pretty much confirms everything. Appreciated.

Has anybody got this working in P3D V4.3?   If you do, in the drop down table under your sim's "Add-ons" ... does it show there?  If anyone can get a pic of that it would be appreciated.

At the bottom of the Scenery page, I put a little table labeled Terra Flora Trees, I'm putting my documentation for this problem there. There is an MP4 of what it looked like when it was working under 4.2. Now in 4.3, not only will it not install, there are no trees moving anywhere. (I test this by being a little way AWAY from an RTMM scenery (since those are static trees), and setting the weather on "Severe Thunderstorm" ... that gives an 18 knot wind to blow the trees around.

I also turned my weather up to blow the trees.  No luck so far. Trees are static.  broken animation? ???

My TD Libraries entry is in the Options/Add-ons menu, not the main Add-ons menu.  I have no idea why there are two add-ons menus in different places.  Slightly confusing.   :o :P :-\
