Scenery listed as "Not installed"

[tr3y4rch]

Hi inibuilds Team ! 

 

I've purchased EGSS scenery couple days ago, and I'm failing to install it into MSFS. Manually deleting the folder doesn't seem to coincide with the simulator neither does uninstalling via the inimanager. It shows the scenery in the content manager but only as "not installed" though it is. If there's a fix for that; that would be great :)

This is a core problem with this version of the airport. I've not seen any comment yet from inibuilds officially, but you're not alone. It's a great airport, just v1.0.6 is a bit broken at the moment. Got the same issues.

I have just joined this forum to post the exact same problem.

I have de installed and re installed but EGSS wont show in sim.

The content manager shows not installed, the Ini manager shows installed. Either way, the airport doesn't show.

Heya!

Could yall please upload a screenshot of your "layout.json" in the root folder of the scenery?

[bryer]

It's a mess, I've attached it instead.

layout.json

[christos]

I've noticed that it's not actually loading the scenery into my game. Looking at dev mode there is no hook for the EGSS scenery to load from the community folder. It's there, installed via the inimanager but it's just not being loaded by the simulator.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled three times via the inimanger with no luck.

Yeah, for whatever reason the update didn't pull the correct layout.json file. It is supposed to be 431KB in size.

Could you - or maybe did you already - try to uninstall and reinstall the scenery to see if it pulls the correct file?

Alternatively you can regenerate a new layout.json file with this program here: https://github.com/HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator

[christos]

Like bryer, i uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times with no luck.

I'll try the 2nd method tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Sure thing. Judged by file size; seems odd...

layout.json

[bryer]

I've run the ms layout generator. layout.json file is now 418kb, will test to see if scenery now loads up. There's some sort of issue with it pulling the correct one from the CDN and I'd inspect the files on the server, because surely the inimanger just pulls a directory to my PC and shoves it in the community folder?

[Deleted Account]

The file on the CDN is correct. When I download the scenery I get the correct file/size. It's a weird one, we are investigating though 🙂

[bryer]

It's working as expected now. 

Like I say it works with the layout.json at 418kb

Could you please press CTRL + I when having the manager open, switch to console in the top right corner, download the scenery again and afterwards copy&paste the output of the console here?

[Jannes Ven]

I have the same now since yesterday. Please provide a update to solve this problem and that I can fly my favourite airport.

It shows in the community folder but not in the msfs content manager and scenery index 

[Deleted Account]

I already posted a solution on September 9th. For a more permanent solution I need someone to post their console log please. 

[Jannes Ven]

 I reinstalled the airport, cleared scenery index en ran that GitHub file. Still does not show in msfs 

[G-AYMO]

Can I join in with exactly the same problem? Tried the GitHub file but I didn't understand it, dragging the Json file onto the downloaded executable did nothing but turn all my screens gray forcing a restart. I just want an automatic simple solution please, I'm a simmer not a computer programmer. 🙂

Thanks

[Jannes Ven]

If there will be no update from Inibuilds  -> Can you please provide a detailed instruction for dummies how to fix the EGSS scenery?  Thx 

 

[philipe]

Hi

Please see console log report attached

Replace this layout file with the one on your drive and it should work. This only is confirmed to be working with all scenery configs enabled.

As your file was smaller, I‘m guessing you turned some options off, could you tell me which those are?

And thanks for providing the log, unfortunately there was nothing helpful in there… 😞

layout.json

Actually we probably figured it out. Could you please uninstall nool and then reinstall the newest version?

[Jannes Ven]

Thx , it works again with the new JSON file
