Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi FTX, I recently purchased FTX AU SP4 and before I downloaded it I looked at the pictures and they looked great but after I downloaded it and set it up I went on the simulator and it looked nothing like the photos. It still looks a little bit like the default but with a few more buildings and trees. It also still has the 2D buildings and trees under the houses and trees and it doesn't very realistic, in the photos on the website it didn't have that. Can you please help me because I saved up for this and finally got it so my simulator would look extremely realistic but it looks nothing like that. Please help. order code = #FSS0447673 thanks.

Stewart Hobson Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You don't mention if you downloaded and installed the latest ORBXLibs. That is advisable any time you install new scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh sorry, yes I did do that but it still looks like what I said in the first message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sometimes switching between regions in FTX Central, switching to Global (or Default, if you don't have Global Base installed), hit apply, switch back to Oceania, hit apply--does the trick.

Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 That didn't work. Can you please give some further information on how to fix it because as I said I've saved up for it and it's not really working properly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 See that is still has the 2D stuff under the houses and trees and looks like the defaults still. The other thing is that the scenery can only be seen for a certain distance at a time. Can that also be fixed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is what the AU SP4 is suppose to look like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razalom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Well mine do look like the below images so they are real . Might be worth you using the V key to take in game screenshots (I think thats the default one) and posting them as your camera pics are a little hard to see to be honest. Also confirm what settings you have your graphics on in the FSX Settings Menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh yes, sorry about the camera shots. I have no power at the moment. I will message my settings to you in about 20 minutes. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razalom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you look a few posts above you should see a screenshots I posted of 1 of the menus in FSX. You should see various options there such as Level of Detail and Mesh etc. Also you will notice various tabs on that image with the first one being Graphics. Maybe just take some screenshots of these pages and post the images here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razalom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am in work at the moment sorry but my settings are in general all set to the maximum they can go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh thanks . I just changed the scenery settings and that helped a fare bit but I can only see things such as houses for a certain distance until I get closer. Could you please help me for that too.

razalom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I would suggest using google on how to tweak FSX. In regards to the settings make sure you the the top one Level of detail radius set to the max. A lot of getting FSX to look as good as you want is via tweaking the various CFG files that run the simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks, the simulator looks better already but there's one more problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just below and where my finger is there's no or very little amount of houses and trees until I get closer . Could you me fix that as well please, and what tweak are Our suggesting is the best if you use any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razalom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 One thing to remember about FSX is that is a pretty old flight sim and has some limitations. Hopefully the tweak guides I have mentioned will help you out but there will always be a trade off when you extend the view draw distance and what FPS you get out of the simulator.

Pilot01 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 That stuff we had a look at yesterday just made the default look better. I still can't and don't know how to put the au sp4 package into the FSX because at the moment it still looks like the default just with better settings. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 From your "screen shots" it looks quite possible that you are seeing what you should. Please take another, following the guidelines below so that it can be compared with what should be seen. To take a screenshot, run the simulator, press Ctrl+Z until the coordinates are displayed in the top left hand corner and then press the V key. You screenshot will be saved to a Flight Simulator X folder in your Pictures folder. To add a screenshot to your post, first save it in .jpg format which will reduce the file size. Then upload it to an image hosting site such as this one and use the direct link to add it. In the forum reply box you will see Insert other media\Insert image from URL at the bottom right.

Penzoil3 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 You should have a file on your desktop now calle FTX Central. Double click it, and your FTX control panel opens up. Select "Oceania" as your group, and click apply. This turns on youe Australian scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot01 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Penzoil3, i have already tried that but it's not changing the scenery and now it's saying that the simulator is running but the simulator isn't so I can't do anything. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Pilot01, First in your weather settings choose "clear all weather" so we can see the scenery without clouds. Second, go to Options/Scenery LIbrary and make a screenshot of your entries. Third, open FTXCentral and make sure you understand the Insertion Point for FTX entries. We'll go from there, ok?
