OK thanks to all. I don't think I'm adding it as xml, but I do use the Lorby Addon Organizer ... in that program, there is a list of xml added stuff (FSUIPC, etc) in a special grouping and my scenery files are under a "Scenery" grouping... so I don't think that is doing something screwy.
I'm seeing exactly what Jeff is stating. See first attached pic.
Just to be clear, you are saying you have no third-party scenery in your insertion point list? Only FTX, Orbx, and P3D default sceneries are showing for you? Is that correct?
Yes, that is correct.
If the list would come up, then I'd use the insertion tool as I used to and "place" those things where they should be, but all I see in FTX Central is in the first screenshot. Notice the slider is at the top (to the right) ... there's nothing "above" FTX. Also if you look at the things below, those are the P3D sceneries. If I scroll down that, ORBX Vector stuff is there. But my Pilots Mesh isn't there and the MYTraffic (should be above Global Vehicles) isn't there. So its not picking up a lot of things that I can see in my scenery library.
Another "clue" ... my RTMM locations, Pilots, MyTraffic ... are all "grayed out" and I cannot check or uncheck them or move them around. This makes me wonder if Sue has a point, maybe Lorby is putting them in a different way somehow.
What doesn't make sense to me on the Scenery Library are why some things are "grayed" out so you can't do anything with them. Also NONE of those that are "grayed out" are showing up in the FTX Central list. MyTraffic, Fairbanks X, Tongass X, etc.
Maybe I should uninstall LORBY and see what happens (oh me!!! :-)
Appreciate you folks looking over my shoulder.
PS: my sim (V4) has never run smoother or better ... it literally is perfect. So everything is working splendidly, and when the library gets screwed up, I can quickly "restore" one that was working previously and then everything is OK. I probably should just leave it alone and live with it ... but now I'm curious. :-)
DIETER ... do you think LORBY is using the xml addition?
