I have the scenery addons for UKBB Kyiv Boryspil, UKLL Lviv, and UKOO Odesa by Pyreegue Dev Co.
I’m certain that I visited these airports earlier in MSFS 2024 and they worked correctly. At least 2 of them are even verified to work by the developers and appear in the 2024 Marketplace.
But today I find that none of them are working, that is to say no buildings and terminals appear in the scenery.
Here is an example of UKLL Lviv: (below)
Now before I go down the long deep rabbit hole of looking for some kind of conflict. I want to know if the rest of you are also experiencing the same thing?
I am having the same problem. I only recently installed 2024 and and neither UKOO nor UKLL work (both worked in 2020). None of the custom 3d objects or textures are loading. It is not a plugin conflict, as clearing both Community and Community2024 folders doesn’t fix it.
I just tried getting UKLL from other source, when installed into Community folder (as opposed to Official folder), it’s loading as intended, everything works. So the problem is specific to marketplace versions.
Another reminder to never buy addons through marketplace.
Just found that it also affects airports from other developers. JustSim Hannover EDDV and Amsim UGTB Tbilisi (both purchased from marketplace) are also not loading in MSFS 2024. Might be some others as well.
What I found is most likely cause of this problem is decryption failure. All marketplace packages are encrypted and if sim fails to decrypt them, they won’t load. This explains why non-marketplace versions (which are not encrypted) are loading OK.
I am going to post a support ticket at flightsimulator zendesk.
Yeah I thought about a WASM issue. This may have all started when SU 4 was released.
Pyreegue has very little social media presents from what I can see, but their last announcements were made on Facebook. Unfortunately Facebook has decided to permanently disable my account after I closed my account about a year ago so I can’t post any remarks there, But someone needs to reach out to them as well.
I posted on his Facebook yesterday about this (but it doesn’t seem like he is checking it often). However, I don’t think he’s the one who can fix it. Because non-marketplace versions of all affected packages do not have this problem, it seems like it’s caused by marketplace itself.
I bought UKLL and UKOO last year during a sale of top 100 sceneries on the marketplace, they didn’t work back then as well. MS support refused any refunds or any help
When loading in to UKLL, with Developer Mode, the Console shows these errors about Loading Objects from BGL. I downloaded the airport and I don’t see any BGL file in the directory.
Had the same problem with ukrainian airports from marketplace and also had an opportunity to test non-marketplace UKLL, which worked fine. But I’ve found a solution - there is possibility to transfer these airports from marketplace to Contrail Shop account (including UKBB, which is delisted from sale there). At least 1 paid order at the Contrail Shop is required, I didn’t have one, so bought one of the cheapest airports (Tivat LYTV from the same developer) and successfully transfered all ukrainian airports there. Hope it helps to fly to/from Ukraine
I was aware of the contrail transferring but Im unsure if this would remove the the marketplace purchase from 2020 and 2024. I wouldn’t want that because I still want my Xbox to have access to it in 2020. Or if Pyreegue decides to do an update.
AFAIK, this shouldn’t be an issue - I had to uninstall and deactivate marketplace versions before starting using standalone, but they are still present and I can reinstall them any moment. Basically, Contrails staff asks for proof of purchase (screenshot of marketplace is enough) and manually adds airports to your Contrails account. I doubt they can somehow manipulate your marketplace content.
