    Hi, welcome back

     

    You will need to go to the link below and sign into your Orbx Direct account, then click on the green "Get Central" button to download and install the new app called "Orbx Central".

     

    https://orbxdirect.com/

     

    Below is also a link with more info on Orbx Central.

    Thanks I got central and can see all my products. Isn't there a button I just press and the scenery auto downloads? 

    Temporary workaround for installing Orbx scenery with FSX:SE

    Thanks for all the advice here. However, I can not get FTX England to install. I originally had FSX se installed in default folder. C:\prgromme files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX. The installer will/cannot find the location: Following some advice I deleted FSX se and steam, and reinstalled to C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX. Ran the installer again, no joy. The installer does not see FSX SE location, I have also tried to install the libraries, same problem, the installer states location as Blank.

     

    Anybody help me here, I am getting very frustrated. Had the thing for two days now and cant get it installed!!

     

    Many Thanks in Advance

    Check your installation path again it should read like this but yours is very different  C:\FSX-SE\steamapps\common\FSX

     

    yours C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX

    Guys, I have the work around going great and am installing all my ORBX sceneries.


     


    However there is a challenge regarding VECTOR AEC. Maybe somebody can advise on a further work around.


     


    The problem


     


    Vector installs perfect into the library automatically so thats good but it will not read from the FSX-SE scenery.CFG


    instead it will only read from  the FSX scenery CFG.


     


    Currently Im copying the FSX-SE.scenery.cfg to FSX scenery.cfg and Vector  AEC works.


     


    Is there a way to to get vector  AEC to use FSX-SE .scenery.cfg automatically?


    I only have the Steam installed but created a FSX Boxed scenery folder for ORBX  AEC Vector and Aivlasoft EFB workaround

    Luckily I have no hair left to tear out  ::)

    How is it possible to modify the registry and STILL have ORBX write to the orginal FSX,scenery.cfg and not into the Steam version 

     

    Anyway thought I would post the mods I made just in case there is something dodgy. Maybe someone can shed some light or I may just need to be patient and wait for the official mod

    E:\FSX-SE\steamapps\common\FSX\ORBX\Scripts

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <FTX_Settings>
      <FSXRegistryKey>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0</FSXRegistryKey>
      <FSXRegistryValue>SetupPath</FSXRegistryValue>
      <SceneryCFGLocation>Microsoft\FSX-SE</SceneryCFGLocation>
    </FTX_Settings>

    On the bottom left, click on the button called "Add Library Folder"

    In the window that pops up (which says "Create or select new Steam library folder")

     - click the downward pointing triangle on the top right, this shows you a list of drives.

     - click on the drive you want to use

     - click on New Folder to create a folder (default name is SteamLibrary), name it and click okay (you must create a folder, you can't set the root drive)

     - click Select. Your new Steam library folder should appear in the list.

     

    When you next install a game, you'll have an option to "Choose location for install" (you can create a new library from there too).

     

    Hope this helps.

    That did help indeed !   :)
