rockliffe Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi fellas, can anyone help with this error message which has just started to appear when I try to switch regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Funnily enough, I've had exactly that error a few times lately - and was wondering about mentioning it. I found that if you swap regions back and forth it goes away. The file "restore.bat" does seem to get created OK (so it's not a permissions issue). I suspect that FTX Central checks at some stage before the file is [re]created. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, but this message doesn't go away and appears every time I use FTX Central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Can someone confirm whether this is affecting scenery or not? Thanks. I have replaced the bat file from an earlier backup but I still get the error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi there, there was an issue with a recent Windows update causing these error mesages; see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/106037-error-switching-region/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I have tried both usggestions. The reinstalling of the latest libs has not helped, neither has removal of the suggested Win update. In fact, I couldn't find the suggested Win update anyway. Can you offer any help Holger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troye Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm having exactly the same problem. Also ran the latest library installer and couldn't find the KB3097877 windows update. The only region i can use is FTX Global, whenever i switch to North America or Europe i get the restore.bat error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Personally, I think the KB thing is a red herring. I haven't had it on my system for a *long* time and I still get that error once in a while (though mine does go away if I switch back and forth);.

Holger Sandmann Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi guys, maybe these suggestions help? http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/76232-ftx-central-unhandled-exception/?comment=728381 Something on your system is preventing access to that file, which in turn prevents FTX Central from completing the switching process. If it's intermittent just starting FTX Central again usually does the job but a permanent "block" is obviously more of a problem.

Jack Sawyer Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I get this all the time too but it's intermittent. It doesn't seem to affect anything and I was told once that it's normal. But why or how the restore folder disappeared is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried everything I have read on the forum and your suggestion of following the info in your link, each with no success. I have also noticed that many of the files are missing in the scenery library. ie only the airports are present without the relevent additional regional files. Can you help further with this? Thanks. EDIT: I've done some futher testing Holger. It seems that when i change from a region to another region, the scenery does in fact change, or appears to do so. However, I have now noticed when I change from Oceana and back again, NZMF is a complete mess, with cliffs all around the airport. Then I have to go into Vector and run the auto airport config. this is really frustrating. Really need to sort this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 OK, it seems like this is not going to be resolved. I've just done a reinstall of Windows and FSX from a previous backup from a few weeks ago. This has removed the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
