Bruce Hamilton Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Marty, you need to edit your signature... just the FSS number, not the serial or order date, as someone could steal your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Harris Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi Marty, Thanks for that! Grab the latest Orbxlibs installer from here: https://fullterrain.com/support#orbxlibs Unzip, double-click the installer You should now have a "FTX Central 2" icon on the desktop, open this up and select the 'Global' group and then press the 'apply group' button and close Once thats done load up FSX and have a look, if your still not convinced its worked, slew up to about 4000ft (Y key to enter slew-mode, then F4 to go up, F2 to stop) and take a screenshot and post it here and we can assist further, some instructions on doing that is here: Cheers!

sigwx Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Sounds like same error I've posted in the FTX Central 2 Forum ftx-2-cannot-switch-regions yesterday. Can you please check within your Windows software Control panel if you have Microsoft Update Patch KB3097877 installed? I removed it this morning, and it seems to work now.

Tim Harris Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi Marty, To resolve the issue: turn off the 'DX10 preview mode' function in the FSX settings. Or if you simply must have 'DX10 preview mode' switched on then invest in Steve's DX10 fixer tool http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/forum/171-dx10-discussion/ There is also a freeware DX10 fixer version around if you search for it (avsim) Personally I have never felt a need for it (DX10), but there are loads of folks who say its the next best thing since sliced bread so... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Stiles Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 are you tired of hearing from me yet Tim?...lol..i switched off my DX10 and it made all the difference....one last question..i just installed the global vector and i was wondering that after i apply it in FTC,it does not show as being activated like the global base does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, Vector is not a region, so it's not "activated" like a region would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Stiles Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 thanks for the information Stewart,i really appreciate it....just a follow up on my intro to FSX...i am currently running on DX9 with my sliders maxed...i have ORBX Global Base and Vector + N/A add-on for the rocky mountains and i also have ASN installed...it absolutely runs like a dream and it was money well spent...thanks for all the help guys and until we meet again...happy flying.......Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Good to hear, Marty. Looks like you're on your way to many happy hours of simming. Eventually, if you decide to dive into DX10, there is a subforum under Tips & Tricks where we will try to help get that bad boy working for you. Some folks like it, some don't. But once you've got working properly, it's hard to go back to DX9. I simmed with DX9 for several weeks before I took the plunge, and then Adam_NZ's guide was a god-send for setting things up.
