[ObjectFlow 2 Open Beta]

Hi all,

 

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the ObjectFlow 2 Open Beta.

 

During the open beta, ObjectFlow 2 will be distributed via Fastlane. Fastlane allows you to opt-in to receive potentially unstable updates before they are released to everyone.

 

Once you have opted-in to Fastlane, you will receive a beta update to FTX Central that includes ObjectFlow 2. This update will also allow you to view your airports in FTX Central for Prepar3D v4.

 

Things to note:

• ObjectFlow 2 is an open BETA. This means it may cause instabilities in your simulator (crashes, display anomalies, etc).

• You do not need to download any additional programs to access Fastlane. Just opt-in from the Fastlane page on the website. Any open beta updates will be delivered via FTX Central v3.

• FTX Central updates will be more frequent, so you'll get new features faster. However, you may also experience more bugs.

• ObjectFlow 2 is only used in Prepar3D v4. FSX, FSX-SE and P3Dv1-3 will continue to use ObjectFlow 1.

• If you find an issue with ObjectFlow 2, please post it in the ObjectFlow 2 Open Beta forum. Additionally, please use this issue template as it will help speed up the troubleshooting process.

4. Start FTX Central. You will be prompted to update to FTX Central version 3.2.2.

5. You should now see all of your airports for Prepar3D v4 in FTX Central.

How to opt-out of Fastlane and restore to the latest stable version:

1. Log in to your OrbxDirect account.

[Troubleshooting unified lclookup migration issues]

Hi all,

 

Here are some steps you can follow to fix issues experienced with the unified lclookup.

 

Step 1. Ensure you have the latest version of FTX Central (v2.1.6031.32439) and the Orbx Libraries (160708). When you start FTX Central you should be prompted to download both of these. Alternatively, if downloading via FTX Central is too slow you can download and install the Orbxlibs 160708 directly from here: https://fullterrain.com/support#orbxlibs

 

Step 2. Restart FTX Central.

 

Step 3. Go to Settings -> Troubleshooting -> Force Migration. This will re-start the migration process, automatically using the files from the updated Orbx Libraries. Any issues with the migration should now be resolved (try checking in your simulator).

 

Step 4. If you are still experiencing issues, start the following program: ORBX\Troubleshooter\MigrationTroubleshooter.exe. If everything has been migrated correctly, you will see green text at the bottom saying "all region files exist" and "all files valid, MD5 hashes checked".

 

 

If you see any red text after running the Migration Troubleshooter, try re-installing that region using the latest installer from The FlightSim Store, then run Settings -> Troubleshooting -> Force Migration again. 

 

If that doesn't fix the problem, please make a new topic in the unified lclookup support forum, making sure you attach the migration_missing.txt file that has been created on your desktop.
