TimothyWF Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Order No. FSS0429102 Date and details of purchase : 2015-11-29. (Orb 727). New Computer with a clean install, now Windows 10 Pro. I have installed the Basic FTX Global Base pack - Europe which has a Desktop icon and shows in the list via FTX Central 2. I have also "Applied Group". This also is shown on the Library programme of my Microsoft Flight Simulator De Luxe Edition. I later installed Orbx EU England and EU Scotland. The visuals are OK (rivers, buildings etc.) but it does not show Motorways from cockpit views. Neither is listed in the FTX Central 2 list nor FSX programme Library. Cockpit viewing scenery shows all that it should for trees, buildings, rivers etc. The UK motorways are OK on vertical viewing, F12. but Cockpit views F9 and F 10 show the motorways as appearing up on stilts and on a series of white blocks. Two views are attached of this, both in Scotland and the southern approaches to the Fourth Bridge. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Wild guess here, did you remember to install Acceleration or the service packs (SP1 and SP2) after FSX? I have seen something similar to this effect when the customer had not added the service packs to FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimothyWF Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Good point Nick. I have not got Acceleration but as I have downloaded the original FSX (from about 2007) from my DVD disc I didn't think about any service packs. I hope I can find them- I will download and let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimothyWF Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Could I ask a question please. I have been into the Microsoft site and Service Pack I is listed as a download but there is an added option "Notice: Third-party content requires VS 2005 SP1 to successfully load. Third-party content developed for FSX using VS 2005 SP1 requires the new VS 2005 SP1 redistributable file, available here: Download". As Orbx is a third party content (I guess) should I download this redistributable file before the Service Pack? Thanks, Timothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello Timothy, Yes download and install that as well. If you haven't already found it, here is the link for Service Pack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimothyWF Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thank you Nick. I did as you suggested and EU England, Scotland, Wales plus Trees are working perfectly. Your link to Service pack 2 was a great help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
