Dieter Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 What kind of graphical problems/disadvantages will I experience when installing Orbx Meigs Field software without FTX Global Base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi Dieter, Meigs can function without Global or Vector, the FSX:SE version was designed that way. The photoreal transition may not be as nice to the surrounding areas without Global. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The ORBX product page seems to contradict itself. In one spot it says "Designed to work best with the FTX Global basepack" (leads you to believe that FTX Global is not necessarily required, but at the bottom of that page it says "This product requires you have the following installed:" and then it shows FTX Global Base. The product page at the FSS says: "This is an Orbx FTX airport, and as such a copy of FTX: Global BASE must be installed prior to use.". This has kept me from buying this yet, but if there are no problems (other than non-perfect transitions), I think I will go ahead.

Nick Cooper Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hello Siggy, look at Alex's last reply, two posts up. It answers your question for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akmatov Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hmm, perhaps Orbx might tidy up their product page a bit? Things like that confuse me badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Nick, thanks, I saw this. My feeling after reading "must be installed" was that the installer may even refuse to install the product without the "prerequisite" installed. I don't think sales would be affected if those remarks only said "works best with ...". Cheers, Siggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Ok, I went ahead. Noticed that the planetarium is not there, shouldn't there be a 3D-building ? Maybe that is part of FTX Global Base ? Cheers, Siggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Missing planetarium indicates you are missing ObjectFlow, reinstalling the Orbxlibs should solve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thank you, Alex, that fixed it! I am guilty :-), I should have followed the instructions during the install process that said "install the latest ORBX libs". Shame on me :-). Now everything looks very nice. Have to get used going back there again. Cheers, Siggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
