Hi, After clicking on each product, on the right hand side you should see a "configure" button between "store" and "verify files". This opens the product's control panel:

Hi Gerard, If they changed that version there, Central would always prompt the user to "update" ChasePlane (which would actually downgrade it). The version in our system will almost always be older than the latest. You can test this yourself by editing that txt file, then restart Central. It will then try and downgrade ChasePlane to an older version.

Hi Andy, This is a known issue with the mapping library we're using. We're currently looking into a few solutions for this. As a workaround, I'd recommend not travelling between parallel universes This shouldn't be happening. Could you try completely uninstalling Central, then re-installing it using the installer on the website?

Hi Ben, There is a button there already (but it's not very obvious!) You can click on the product title next to the X to go to the product page. We'll look into making this more user friendly in a future update.

Hi, It appears you have two accounts. The account you're logged into has the 10 freeware items in it. Your other account has 40 products in it. Please log out of Orbx Central (Settings -> Account -> Log Out), then log in with the same email that you've used here on this forum (it ends in @mail.com).

Hi Blackbird, That ordering is correct. Although one of the entries is below Africa, it will still work as intended. Are you seeing any issues within the simulator?

Hi all, We have just released Orbx Central 4.1 to our production channel. Everyone will now have access! If you want to see what we've changed, see our other topic: Help us translate Central! We need your help to translate Central into languages other than English. Check out our project on Crowdin for more details. Want to help with a language not listed in Crowdin? Let us know! FTX Central 3 With the release of Central 4.1, we are no longer supporting FTX Central 3. The application will continue to work until the 1st of May. If you have any issues with Orbx Central, please contact our support.

Hi, Can you please upload your central.log file? Instructions are here:

You may have opted-in to Fastlane back in 2017 when we had beta builds of FTXC and ObjectFlow for Prepar3D v4

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Richard!

Hi all, Over the past few months, our team has worked hard to refine the experience when using Orbx Central. We’ve made a lot of improvements to make your life easier. A part of this process has been listening to feedback from customers and staff alike. As our ecosystem expands with 3rd Party Partners such as Milviz, Parallel 42, Pilot Plus and more, we need to ensure our client software continues to evolve to meet their needs. Because of this, we embarked on a journey to further modernise Central’s UI and UX. Refreshed User Interface The first thing you’ll notice is our new top-level navigation. The “Store” tab will show all products whether you own them or not. “Partners” only shows products from our 3rd Party Partners. “Discover” shows our new map page. Finally, “My Products” shows just the products that you own. The top-level navigation also contains our new global search. This search can take you to any product, or focus the product on the “Discover” page. Hint: press Ctrl/Cmd + F to focus on the search box. Additionally, you can now search for airports that are within other products. For example, if you search for ESSD, you’ll see that comes as a part of the ESNQ Kiruna Airport triple pack. Moving to the left hand side of Central, we’ve rethought how a product’s state should be displayed. The download queue has been vastly improved from previous versions. You will not only show products that are currently in the queue, it will also show products that have pending updates. You can click on the download icon to begin the update process for those. Discover One of our most anticipated features is a way to view Orbx products on a map. Products and regions that you own are shown with a purple highlight. Products that have a discount applied will show in red. Clicking on a product will show many more details about a product, including bonus airports, helipads, POIs, etc. Clicking on a region will show all of the POIs and airports within it. We hope you enjoy all of these changes to Central - be sure to let us know if there are other improvements you’d like to see. Orbx Central 4.1 is in Fastlane now. You can opt-in to Fastlane in the Central settings (under "My Account").

Hi Rob, We can do this, but we still need a reason to justify spending development resources on it (especially when we have a long list of projects to keep us busy for years)

Hi Ed, The 737 Immersion is only available for the PMDG 737 NGX (not the NGXu - but that's coming soon).

Hi Rob, I'm glad to see you found a solution. Is there any particular reason you wish to choose the location? It seems that the issue you were experiencing was unrelated to the actual install location, but more an error in one of the configuration files. When making decisions like this, we've taken the approach of choosing what works for the majority of our users (i.e., they don't care where, they just want it installed). Think of other major software that takes hundreds of MB like Chrome - it doesn't let you choose an install location either. Same with P3D storing all the installers in ProgramData. All of the above aside, we can look into allowing the user to choose the install location. It will probably be into one of user-selected library locations.

Hi Larry, Looking at your log, Central failed when it tried to create the following directory: D:\OrbxLibrary\xp11\TrueEarth US Florida HD. This usually indicates that one of the parent folders ("xp11', "OrbxLibrary" or your "D" drive) didn't exist. If the Oregon install has started successfully, that folder error you were receiving is resolved. Please let us know if you run into any further problems

Hi Benny, It's worth noting that the OldProp version of Chaseplane and the version in Orbx Central can both be installed at the same time (without losing any presets).

The manual should now also be available in Orbx Central

Hi @Gollum, Can you please confirm that you're using the latest version of Orbx Central? It can be downloaded from here: https://orbx.to/central Also, can you please upload a screenshot of the error you're receiving?

It's too late to fix that. We can't unsend the email - my mistake there. We're not quite "joining" other companies - more just distributing their products through our platform. Expect to see more over the coming months

Hi @pilot100, There's no easy way via the UI, but if you open %appdata%\Orbx\Central\central.log, you can open the file and search for "Scanning for installed products". Shortly after that, you'll see all your scenery listed:

Hi all, An easier way to move products to another drive is using Orbx Central's "library" feature. You can create a library on another drive, then migrate products to it. I would recommend doing it one product at a time, and check in the simulator after migrating each product.
