axsdata Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I just purchased Orbx Momument Valley. The scenery will not show up (none) even though it all seemed to install properly. I have the latest version of the software and of FTC Central. I also installed the latest utrilogy libraries. I am running FSX with Acceleration Pack and latest service packs. I'm also running Windows 10. In the installation folder there is a readme.txt. In it it says the following: This is an Orbx FTX airport, and as such a copy of Orbx FTX: Global Base must be installed prior to use. I did not know that one had to buy this rather expensive product before once could use the Monument Valley Scenery. There is nothing in any of the website pages to suggest this. Now I am stuck with a purchased product I cannot use. Am I understanding this correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axsdata Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Note to the original post. I also have Orbx Northern Ireland scenery. It works properly. So the problem would seem to be the Monument Valley package. Unless I truly have to install the Global Base product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 This is an Orbx FTX airport, and as such a copy of FTX: Global BASE must be installed prior to use. This is from the FSS site in the product description . Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axsdata Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 OK. Apologize again. Went to FSS site and saw the verbiage. Very strange. But here's the latest. I wished to start my flight from Kayenta, which is part of the Momument Valley package. So I selected it from the airport selector in FSX. That was where I saw that there was no Orbx scenery. So a moment ago, just to check, I slewed northward towards Monument Valley and there it was. All the scenery. Then I flew back towards Kayenta and the airport and the community appeared. Not sure why this is happening. But whatever the glitch, it does not require the Global Base. I don't think. I don't recall buying the global base. But maybe I did. How can I find out if it is installed? Anyway. I will have to figure out where the mismatch is between the FSX scenery database and the Orbx Scenery. Thanks for the help.

axsdata Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry. I did not know. Product order number: FSS0410195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axsdata Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I think I finally got it. It's my own geographical shortcomings. I was mistaken in thinking that Kayenta was part of the package. The area is much more limited to the actual park area and the airport in the ORBX package is the Monument Valley airport at Gouldings Store etc. But I still don't think I have the Global Base package. And yet the MV package works. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hey Tom I believe the actual airport package will install and work without Global Base, it just won't blend into the surrounding area as nicely as it was meant to...and I am sure you would be very pleased with Global Base, it makes for a major upgrade to the main foundation of the sim...
