• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

ORBX Objects thumbnails.

Hi All.

Could someone help me in the right direction to get my hands on the thumbnails of all the ORBX objects?

I have ORBX installed and want to use ADE for airport enhancements, specially the little airfields that are all over the place in the New Zealand countryside. Where the main airports in New Zealand have a good coverage by ORBX, the small airfields are left hanging. Importing all the Objects in ADE has given me an extra 25740 objects. Unfortunately the thumbnails don't come with them.
What I need are the matching GUID thumbnails to the ORBX objects.

Any help in this would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
 
I'm going to guess that disassembly of orbx libraries for use in other products is not something they would appreciate. You might want to read the EULA that comes with your Orbx products.
You should contact ORBX and ask if they are cool with what you want to do...and then maybe they can provide you with thumbs of their objects.
 
Hi Peqqer.

Flying New Zealand in my simulator, it has come to my attention that some airports are not lining up correctly or that buildings and roads are not correctly placed. And in time, airports change, with new buildings, new roads etc.
Normally this would not be a problem but as more and more people flying in my simulator, specially people who are living around the airports mentioned, I get more and more comments that the airport layouts are not correct.
As I have a lot of time on my hands I decided to have it all checked out using SBUILDERX to generate Hires google map images and ADEX for airport placement.
It is through this that I found out that there are a lot of discrepancies with the ORBX airports. What I want to do next is to re-align the runways, buildings and roads correctly and update the airports layouts according to the google map images.
As you probably know ORBX comes with a lot of objects, however not with the thumbnails. To have all the objects integrated with ADEX is no problem at all, however the L.O.M. doesn't have the thumbnails for it, so figuring out which object is what is a daunting task. It is for that that I asked for a possibility to get the ORBX thumbnails to match them with the objects in the libraries. It is not my intention to disassemble any of the ORBX libraries as there is no need for that. However I understand your concern.
 
Orbx are pretty clear on this -- from their EULA:
The Orbx libraries (Orbxlibs) are licensed for use ONLY with Orbx products licensed by our customers. Whilst they are freely distributed on this site and our forums it is for the support of our own products only. It is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN to modify, use, call GUIDs, reference, extract or in any way make use of Orbxlibs in any software project be it freeware, donation ware or payware. Any mis-use of Orbxlibs will invoke legal action.
