Stephen Hayward Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So I have been a long time user of ORBX products...was FSX but switched over to Prepar3d with great success. Installed Base, Vector and NA land class and had no issues. Everything was great. Then I tried to install FTX region PNW, CRM etc. Caused an issue....FTX Central 2 would not allow me to switch between regions with an error message coming up saying terrain.cfg file doesn't contain a land classes section. Please make sure you have latest orbs libraries installed. I dod of course install libs again - but still get error. FTX will not allow me to apply global group with same error message. This has also lead to an issue in game where houses, trees etc are all over the place...on taxiways, in the ocean etc. Can someone make a suggestion as to what I need to do. I am stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hello Stephen, Welcome to the forums. There is a fairly straightforward solution to this but I must first ask you for an order number. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks, I meant the purchase order number, it starts with FSS, from the Flight Sim Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hayward Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 FSS0410480 was my purchase order # FSS0410480 - was for OPEN LC. Is that the one you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thank you for the order number. Have a read of this topic which should help you correct the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hayward Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks. Would this also explain why from FTX Central I cannot apply Global area. It says it cannot find land class in terrain.cfg file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hayward Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Did the whole copy paste terrain.cfg to main PR3D folder with no luck...I still have houses and trees in the water. In Northern California and Southern California - water areas are now grass texture. I cannot switch back and forth between regions at all as FTX Central gives me a warning that terrain.cfg has no land classes and will not allow me to apply area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Stephen, in the case of P3D the active terrain.cfg file resides in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 (or C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2, if you're still using v2 of P3D). Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hayward Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Holger, I have located that file. Copied and pasted into PR3D folder which I should note is on a separate drive...not c:. When I click Global or North America and click on Apply Group I still get the same terrain.cfg file doesn't contain a {land classes} section. Please make sure you have the latest orbx libraries installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hayward Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 I should also note I had no issue like this until I tried to install old version of PNW, CRM etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hayward Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Just to be clear...do I take the terrain.cfg file from C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 and move that into main P3D folder. Or do I take the terrain.cfg file from \ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral\Work and place that in P3D folder. Hate to seem like a dummy but I am having no luck with getting this to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hi Stephen, the latter. The idea is to copy an unedited version of terrain.cfg file into C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 and then let FTX Central re-insert all required custom entries. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Lewis Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hmm... interesting... That may solve an issue I'm having as well. Backup first, then giving it a shot. Thank you for the insight, Holger. Here's to hoping it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
