I have uninstalled OpenSceneryX by deleting the folder, but WED is still referring in the Forest object to the OpenSceneryX library. Should I change/delete more stuff?
Your support is much appreciated!
WED itself doesn’t refer to OpenSceneryX objects, but scenery packages you open in WED may do. So you’ll need to find out which scenery packages are using OpenSceneryX and move those out of your X-Plane folder.
Hello,
I try to install OpenSceneryX in a Windows 10 (64 bit) environment via the installer (version 2.1.0b3) . The program guides me through the set up but when it asks me to select the path to x-plane 11’s custom scenery folder it does not recognize it finally. Can you help me, please?
best regards
Jan
Hi Jan, apologies for the delay in responding. When selecting the path, you should select the top-level X-Plane folder, not the Custom Scenery folder.
i started the installation, and it seemed to stop on a .forest file, after a while the installer crashed. ever since it has frozen and crashed on every .forest file
never mind, it must have been a server error as it is working fine now.
me and my big mouth, it stopped working again…
Sorry you’re having trouble. When you say it “crashes”, what exactly happens – is there an error or message displayed?
Also, has it now got past the forests?
Finally, what operating system and version are you using?
it just stops being open, no error
I fixed it by just downloading the zip package
I am on windows 10
i found a workaround: rename the exe, twice: once to another arbitrary name and second time back to the original name.
LONGER EXPLANATION: i downloaded the installer today (oct 29), and copied it as “C:\X-Plane 11\OpenSceneryX Installer”, then double-clicked the exe file within that folder — i’ve seen that sometimes a space in the folder name is not handled properly, so i copied the folder to C: but that did not fix it. so i renamed the exe itself to contain no spaces that generated a bunch of database-looking errors. renamed the exe BACK to include spaces and now it starts OK. i believe this implies that the permissions on the file were not set properly after unzipping it, so that it lacked the user’s permissions.
OUT OF THE BOX (without my file renamings): win10, version 1709, build 16299.248. the installer starts, then windows asks if i want to allow this app to change my system (i click on Yes) and then the installer disappears and nothing else seems to happen. it does not seem to crash (or windows would have told me that it crashed), but rather, seems to think that there is nothing to install.
Thank you very much for the extra info. I have been trying to replicate this problem on my Win 10 machines. I saw it once but unfortunately didn’t have the debugging tools running (sod’s law!) and have never seen it since – must have run the installer 50 times after deleting various parts of the opensceneryx install each time, including occasionally re-downloading it from the OSX site to add that into the mix. Interesting observation about renaming the exe after download, but I’m wondering whether it’s more random (bad) luck or a network issue causing the problem. Before you managed to fix it, was it crashing *every* time you ran it?
