Why is the file now unavailable on flightsim.to?

22

From what I understood from his Discord, he’s trying hard to make them availalble on xbox as well. That seems to be the reason.

Solar farms mod causes a Hard Lock if looking to the south near KHII

I went to get it, but yeah, it’s unavailable.
I still bought him a coffee, since I already have the marinas mod, and love it.
I’m sure he’ll get it back up soon.

Wow that’s unexpected!

At the moment you need to disable the usa-exclude.bgl It will solve the 30 seconds lock when looking south

I have a fix that should work but haven’t tried yet, will keep you informed!

Thanks for being so patient guys,

the addons are now available for purchase on my website (and soon on Simmarket)

Strongly hope that the effort will help my Marketplace submission so the Xbox user will eventually have the opportunity to enjoy my addons

Is there a changelog or something. Why would I buy it if I can use the version that was free previously (already installed for a long time)?

@mamuDesign Hey bud :slight_smile:
I have some questions. I purchased all your things from your website and want to make sure I have the latest. I assume the ZIP links in the original receipt email point to the latest?

Seems Solar Farms is still 0.5.0 in Manifest, but the Powerlines is now 0.9.7.3. Is that correct?

Also, I am trying to figure out how to swap to the ‘no collision’ version of the power lines. The instructions on .to do not match up to what I see in the package now, and there are no instructions on your site or in the Zip.

On .to it says to find powerlines-modelLibNew.BGL and rename it as powerlines-modelLibNew.disabled

…and then powerlines-modelLib-noCollision.disabled and rename it as powerlines-modelLib-noCollision.bgl

But there is NO powerlines-modelLib-noCollision.disabled in the latest download. I only have these:

In the top level I have a layout-nocollision:

…so am I meant to rename that instead now?

36

actually the receipt link should point to
powerlines 0.9.7.3 version
solarfarms 0.5.1

about how to switch between the two version, I need to update the instructions

Basically

  • there is no need to change the .bgl file extensions
  • the games loads the content of the “layout.json”

that’s why there are two layout, the noCollisione has the reference to the noCollision modelLib , the other one has the reference to thhe collidable one

finally, to switch to noCollision, rename “layout.json” to layout.collision and layout-noCollision to layout.json

I didn’t write anything about this on purpose on the instructions since my goal is to provide a small configura app for all my addons

(and the goal of the powerlines addons is to make people aware of wires hazard, so the “collision” enabled by default!)

The Manifest in that download is like this:

{
  "dependencies": [],
  "content_type": "SCENERY",
  "title": "Solar Farms",
  "manufacturer": "",
  "creator": "mamudesig",
  "package_version": "0.5.0",
  "minimum_game_version": "1.37.11",
  "release_notes": {
    "neutral": {
      "LastUpdate": "",
      "OlderHistory": ""
    }
  }
}

Yeah understood :smiley:

I just wanted to test something as I have been getting random “invisible walls” in the air with helicopter sometimes. I doubt it is this, more like a “my PC” issue, but wanted to see if it helps. And perhaps helps performance a bit in dense areas with a lot of Pylon objects?

My Bad, I have a couple of location where the files were stored and for the Solarfarms I have updated the wrong one!
Now it is ok!

Is the stutter problem solved?
