Bruce Hamilton Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 From what I found online, you want to take off from Rapid City Regional and head SSW. Part of default scenery, doubt ORBX would've removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratocruiser Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Ya. I did that, but could not find it. I will try again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Mt Rushmore screenshot taken at N 43 52.63, W 103 27.49. Approximately on the RAP (112.3) 240 radial at 20 DME. P3D v3.1, FTX Central was set to North America, though it shouldn't matter since it's outside the NA terrain regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hopefully, if ORBX ever does that area as a full fat region, they'll do a proper model of this national landmark. Pretty ugly rendition we have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question. Is this something new? I have been using Global FTX since January and haven't seen a place to set my region. I wasn't aware you were supposed to. Or is this for something other then just 'Global'? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 gord, have you downloaded and installed the ORBX most recent Libraries? Link: https://fullterrain.com/support You should of course unzip and run the installer. After that you should have an ICON for FTX Central on your desktop. If you have any ORBX airports or regions they will be listed and you will be able to switch regions. However the topic subject, Mt. Rushmore is not within any ORBX software. It is a default FSX feature. If you only have FTX Global Base installed the particular software is a complete replacement for the textures in FSX and is meant to be utilized with other ORBX software like FTX VECTOR, Regions, Airports etc. Global Base by itself will give the user better looking default texture for FSX but that is about all.

gord96 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi Spud! I think I am right up to date. I just saw a few people mention having regions activated for FTX Global (like above h3pilot said he had North American activated). I only have FTX Global and a few airports. Maybe he meant the Open LC? Main question is if I just have FTX Global, there is no 'regions' to activate, just Global itself (along with any extra airports of course)? Thanks!

spud Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi gord, Actually Global is very much like a "Region" and is one selection from FTX Central. (It will be the only selection if you have no 'regions'). The FTX Freeware airports will be listed under "Global" but you can not "select" the airport per se. Any software that is connected to Global such as LC will also be listed under Global. Clicking it will open the manual for that software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gord96, On the left side of FTX Central, under GROUPS, the areas applicable to the terrain regions that you have installed will be listed. FTX Global, Europe, North America, Oceania (If you don't own FTX Global, I believe it says "Default" and if you don't own any Orbx terrain regions in an area, say Europe, you won't see Europe listed.) If you only own Global, you won't see Europe, North America, or Oceania and there is no need to switch anything. You click on the area you intend to fly in and then click the blue "APPLY GROUP" tab on the upper right. Many people will select FTX Global and check the "Enable hybrid mode" box. This allows you to fly between FTX Global areas and multiple terrain regions without having to switch the group in Central. This works well but is a bit of a compromise. You get most of a terrain region's scenery, but are missing some unique regional elements, perhaps a unique tree texture, or autogen building style. If you intend to fly entirely within a Group area, I recommend selecting and applying that area in FTX Central. Switching areas will soon be a thing of the past though!

Stratocruiser Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Found it, thanks to you guys. I had been flying right by it before, but had my Bloom setting way to high. It just looked like a white spot on the mountain. Set my Bloom down to 0.70 and there it was. Thanks. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
