FS Estonia Migration tool broken with P3D V2.5 Hot Fix

[Paul_ 52]

Hello everyone

 

I am pretty sure the Migration tool is broken once the v2.5 hot fix has been applied

 

Installed VFR photographic scenery ... seems to install ok but as soon as I run the scenery library within P3D I get scenery config errors and the VFR scenery is not listed there.

 

Anyone else seen this and is there fix on the way?

 

Thanks in advance  ....

The latest Migration tool works just fine in V2.5 along with the Hot Fix.  At least, it is for me.  FSINN even works.

 

Regards,

You might be running into the issues with terrain & scenery cfg files being moved which would confuse the actual scenery installer. Many installers look for the terrain.cfg file in the P3D root folder - it has been moved.

There is a new version of the migration tool, which is actually a development build, works with the hotfix of P3d 2.5 as well

Hi Guys

 

Thank you for your valuable input

 

I have just installed the development build  ..... Version 2.5.1.746.

 

Just starting installing some scenery so I will let you know how I got on

 

Thanks once again

Hi

 

Hmmmm .. well that didn't work ... only installed one volume of the scenery to check and got loads of cfg errors again when accessing the Scenery library ...

 

I think now I will uninstall P3D v2.5 ..... re-install but I won't put the hot fix in and see if that works  ....

 

Does anyone know if you can add the hotfix at a later date once you've installed all of your sceneries?

 

Cheers

Well this is very odd ...

 

I have just installed Playsims VFR Photographic scenery Vol1 for England and Wales into a fresh installation of P3D v2.5  WITHOUT the Hot fix using the development build of FS  Estonia Migration tool ....  when I put an aircraft on a runway in the area I installed I can see that the VFR scenery is showing and seems to be fine

 

BUT

 

if I go to the scenery library within P3d I get a few messages saying this:-

 

Scenery.cfg error

Failed to add library item

(Area.126)

 

An entry already exists with the path ""

 

So .. I click through all of these errors and it gets me to the scenery library

 

At the top it says

 

1. VFRGenX Volume1 Vectors

 

and that's it ... before in other versions of P3D it had quite a few entries for the scenery  ...

 

As soon as I click ok to come out of the scenery library it said there are 19 errors would you still like to add them (or something like that)  ......

 

I said ok and it took me back to the sim with scenery still there

 

Now when I go back into the scenery I don't get the CFG errors but is still only shows me the one entry for the VFR scenery  ... this doesn't seem right?

 

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

 

Cheers Paul

What I did for ORBX region and global addons, before the FTX-fix was out, was copy the terrain.cfg and scenery.cfg to the P3D root folder, then install everything and run the configurators and accordingly copy them back to their original place.

 

I dont have the scenery you mention, so I cant guaranty anything, but it might be worth a try...

Be sure to keep a backup of the original cfg file.

I installed the current download version of the EMT today (not the dev build), along with the hotfix. Version x728. It seems to work, though it throws up an error on startup. I didn't notice the dev build but I'm installing ti now after reading this thread!

 

I've been flying a lot with the Horizon VFR scenery in the last week - but I just added the scenery folders manually from my old FSX installation. Treescapes and UK VFR also working no problems as well.
