Jon Clarke Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 In order to possibly help the good folks of Orbx it maybe be useful to try and give them a potential headcount of the number of people who are experiencing various problems perceived by them to be related to the Unification/Migration process recently. There are numerous types of problems reported in various threads to date from blurred scenery, missing autogen, mixed textures etc. May I suggest that those with problems just post here with a +1 and single line description of the problem Here is my example +1 mixed textures This is not designed to be specific to a problem in a particular area with coordinates, as that detail can be submitted in a Support Request posting as per JV's request late yesterday (UK time) If the Moderators or Devs feel this is inappropriate then the topic can be shutdown, but i feel that Orbx need to know the extent of numbers of people affected and what kind of problems they are experiencing.

NeilG Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 US seems ok, but Europe has gone crazy, no autogen, tiles chopping and changing. I should add, however, that I did not have significant problems until I loaded P3D v3.3, so I don't know how much is the new FTX central and how much is P3D?? I have faith it will be sorted. Neil.

Hi Neil, I'd suggest re-running the migration process if you've just updated to the new version of Prepar3D. You can do this by running the following command (either in command prompt, or by pasting it into the start menu): "%localappdata%\Orbx\FTXCentral\FTXCentral.exe" /reset_migration /sim:p3dv3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thank you very much Ben for taking time out of your holiday to address some of the concerns that some people have been expressing. Your input has been the first to indicate and acknowledge that problems do in fact exist for some but not all. Personally I am not seeing any of the more drastic problems that some have been having and overall my experience with the migration has been a success. Unfortunately this is not the case for all as it should have been and your help in resolving is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a moaner, but I'm still left with a bit of an FPS problem. Seems to be significantly lower than before in England, for example. than it was before. Is this something that might be able to be improved as well? Thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought: Could these FPS problems (and maybe some related ones) seen by some of us be caused by the fact that within fat Regions now you have the Regions as well as Vector (to be known as resource hungry) in the background active at the same time? While formerly - do I recall correctly? - Vector was only active after switching to the Global region, but not in, say, Northern America? Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilG Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Michael, I haven't installed Vector this time around for that very reason. I was losing frames even in the full fat regions. So unfortunately that cannot be the problem. kind regards Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak73 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Seems like this is starting to get slightly off topic too. +1 Blurry Textures Also still seem to have FTX Central 2 only, like the migration to 2.1 failed, although after the first attempt got the prompt to update libraries again and that or something corrupted FSX, got error message saying to repair the install of FSX. Redownloaded and manually reinstalled the Libraries and at least got FSX working again, but version of FTX Central is still outdated. Not sure what to try next, without screwing up something again or worse? Any help or info appreciated. Not sure if this is even the right place to post this.

I ran the command line and watched FTX Central do its thing. Furthermore, I installed FTX Global Norway, and after the install, Central did it's thing automatically. I guess I was right all along, in that the migration worked. Thanks for the help Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi everyone, thanks for providing feedback and sharing symptoms - 99.9% of which relate to lclookup.bgl issues that can and will be resolved ASAP. Please accept our circumstances (unplanned or scheduled server outages, staff conference + short vacation) for what they are and try to follow our advice to post separate, individual support topics that related to your environment. It is important to avoid creating huge generic topics with 3,4,5 pages of +1's and unrelated tangents in trying to fix issues. You will serve yourselves and Orbx staff better to simply and concisely document your own issues and then be patient as we address each of them in turn. It is important to note that we're approaching 10,000 successful migrations and it is also very plausible that some people's issues are more related to the state of their PCs and FSX/P3D installations and the myriad of other FS addons installed, plus other Windows apps and security settings that are causing symptoms or preventing the migration from working as we intended. Whilst we tested FTX Central v2.1 and the unified architecture extensively over many months, we can't possibly cover every iteration of PC/Windows/Addons that customers have installed so it's a case of debugging with upcoming tools and advice. Ben is in the process of creating a debugging tool and also a quick guide to resolve the common issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
