jmorvay1971 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Last night, I started to reinstall add-ons that are approved P3D V3 compatible, starting with ORBX's FTX Global (I know I am a little late to the party, blame it on a vacation to England). That installed with no issues, in fact, it came with the updated FTX Central V2 (a welcome sight) and I had zero issues working with that. When FTX Central V2 opened, i was greeted with a message that I needed to update the ORBX Library, which I did, via ORBX's website. Downloaded it, installed it, no issue. I even went one step further to check insertion points, which I found needed adjusted as i already UK2000's Manchester installed prior to FTX Global, so I made the adjustments there, no issue. I fired up V3, performed a short flight from EGCC nad I had spectacular performance and agian, no issues to report (maybe for the lighting at the airport being rather dark, but that can be adjusted later, no worries). After having a wonderful experience with V3, coupled with FTX Global, I splurged and bought two more UK2000 sceneries, Gatwick and Jersey. I installed Gatwick last night, ran V3 again and had yet again a wonderful short flight, no issues whatsoever. I got a little ahead of myself and after installing EGKK, I didn't go back into FTX Central to check insertion points, but there was no need as everything loaded properly and I had no conflicts. I have yet to install Jersey, but I suspect the same end results. I can't say enough good things about V3. In fact, I noticed that the FTX Global lights lighting is a little more realistic...maybe it's just me, maybe the functionality and rendering of the lights in V3 is improved, but like I always say, I won't look this beautiful gifthorse in the mouth! Finally, I want to thank John and his team for stepping up and releasing the updates. They work PERFECTLY and I could not be happier. I haven't checked to see if Vector is ready yet, but hey, no rush. I am pleased as peaches! -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Good to hear that everything went fine with your install. Developers are working hard on the v3 installers, so almost every day a new one can be released. Good job! Greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorvay1971 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 More than fine, ORBX seems to have set the bar for install ease. Now that Global is installed, everything else will go very smooth. I installed OpenLC EU last night and that went well. The only bugger is downloading the full packages again but it's a small price to pay for free updates and I am very appreciative of ORBX's efforts. -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorvay1971 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 So far, so good. I've updated FTX Global, FTX England and it looks great and works as it should. Having all that installed into P3D v3, combined with ASN, I am getting a very realistic looking environment which is a joy to fly in. -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
