bruce e Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 "The FTXG Freeware airport pack for NA has been updated with 31 new airports" installed / selected Global region & checked a few airports & nothing new showing To check the install I searched in the FTX_GLOBAL/FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS / scenery folder for 3w2 & cek6 & they dont exist. Anyone else have the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopperle Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just ckecked in my P3D installation and everything is there. MAybe not sufficient access rights or did you maybe look at the wrong FS in case you have more then one installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Bruce I checked my system as you suggested and I cannot find any of the airports either. I have taken a photo of Middle Bass Isle 3T7 and this is it As you can see, there does not appear to have been any improvement from default.

RobdeVries Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I also installed it with Central but they never registered in the scenery.cfg. This was for P3Dv3 and FSX-SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi I did not install it via FTX Central instead opting for direct download from the freeware section of the web page. Obviously whatever is wrong is affecting both ways of obtaining file. Kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSRobert Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just install the latest FTXG NA Pack...just over 16mb. I do have all other packs installed as well. My problem are the airports are still at default level with no enhancements showing. All my other packs are showing as advertised. I have downloaded the installer a few times just to make sure I did not get a faulty download. I open the installer and it brings me to the normal install process and I point it to V3 and it installs...fast but installs! Wondering if any other V3 users have the same problem and hoping someone can guide me to correcting this issue I am having. ...my thinking is the installer is empty.

bruce e Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ian thanks for the confirmation of the problem. like you I installed from the freeware link as nothing happened when I tried to do it via FTX Central Interestingly FTX Central/tools says I have the update installed Should be fixed soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopperle Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hmm that's how it looks here: Installed the NA Pack a while ago with the usual installer and updated through FTXCentral today: 3T7 3W2 CEK6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi I re-downloaded the software and reinstalled it. I then switched between Europe and Global several times followed by running the FTX Central troubleshooting section and resynced Orbx products and I cannot get any of the airports to show. ---What am I doing wrong?----- Kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It certainly is not empty. Can you check your scenery library for FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS with a target of ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS. You might also check if the folder is there.

Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Nick There are several of us running in a thread under FTX Freeware that have the same problem Here is part of my Orbx file I do not have an entry of FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS only ORBX/FTX_Global/FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS I did have Global freeware airports before the latest update.

mopperle Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ian, do you have an entry in your library for FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS pointing to the folder of ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 No I do not. I do however have an entry of FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS that is in the FTX Global file and on entering it there are two further files, Scenery and Texture Kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS is the name given when the installer adds the entries to the scenery library. If you are checking your scenery library in game, look for that. The files reside at ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS, scenery and texture, if you are checking for the files, look there.

Museumkeeper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just now, mopperle said: What happens when you try to update via FTXCentral? I was told by FTX Central that there was an update. I chose, because I find FTX Central downloads to be very slow, to update via the Freeware download page and did this. On restarting FTX Central I no longer was offered the choice of downloading it.

bruce e Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well this is a bit of a mystery I downloaded from Orbx Freeware tab as you can see there are no entries between 3NO & 4B8 Where do we go from here? Some seem to have succesfully downloaded & installed others not. I've tried redownloading etc without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
