Tks, Jorgen
This is what I have:

I'm having trouble with LHBP v2 scenery in P3Dv5 and through instructions from their support I found this:
in line 3 =>
Budapest LHBP v2 /// G:\SimMarket\LHSimulations LHBP v2\scenery which is in gray and nothing can be done (edit/move/delete...)
in line 8 =>
LHSimulations Budapest LHBP v2 /// G:\SimMarket\LHSimulations LHBP v2 which can be used to edit/move/delete
These 2 SCENERY AREA/SCENERY LOCATION are creating issues into my P3D5.
Question:
How can I have access to line 3 (or any line like it so I can make things right?
Tks

Hi cirurgiao
All your grey scenery was installed using add-on.xml file.
If you want disable a grey scenery, you have to go in add-ons options tab.
Gray scenery will remain in scenery library as long as the add-on.xml file is active.

Get Lorby’s Add On Organizer.It is freeware and you can easily find it with a Google search. Lorby also maintains an Avsim thread and is very responsive to questions.

I will add my recommendation to Sherm's. A very useful tool.

Tks you all for answering but need more clarification, sorry
1) where do I find add-on.xml file?
2) add-ons options tab is inside P3Dv5?
3) if 2) is right when deselecting an add-on won't scenery just disappear from P3Dv5?
tks again

Hi cirurgiao
You will find add-on.xml file in the folder of your scenery which is in grey in Scenery Library tab.
Just above the Scenery Library tab you will find Add-Ons tab.
If you uncheck an add-on, this add-on will be not activated but not removed. You can reactivate it by checking the box.
Regards
Michel

Followed Sherm & Jorgen and it really worked.
Using Lorby AddonOrganizer deleted Budapest LHBP v2 and it worked.
Tks you all for helping me

Looking at the screenshot, I will say that the order of addons and scenery items is not layered correctly and will lead to inaccurate landscapes.

The Sim Time Zone Fixer addon needs to be at the very top of the scenery library (the shite entries) otherwise it doesnt work and your sim will perform better if the xml addons and scenery items are layered in a different way. I personally dont recommend ( I know it fixed your loading issue) having more than one Scenery Library Manager and Orbx has one built into Central. Everytime you load the Central app it goes through your sim and makes changes.
having more than one library manager can lead to sim lock further down the line as more entries are added to the scenery.

In my personal experience I find that the sim loads faster and performs better if the scenery addons (static) remain in the library as a white entry and ONLY the airports are added as a addon.xml entry (the grey entries)..

It can of course be used fully as xml, its just that xml data is read slower than items placed straight into the library and scenery items work better kept in the library as other addons may not check the addons xml file if they need to use the data contained within.

Im sure others will disagree with this. I find working it this way gives no scenery errors at all and increases load times both into the sim and whilst using the sim.
