Jbaran Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 hi all - I am wondering if I have a library mis-order or some type of improper setting just installed p3d and re-installing all my orbx ftx items right now just pacific northwest, squamish add on and hd trees - for some reason as I fly out of squamish the water switches from proper ocean but as I get away from the town, the ocean turns to forest and green land mass?? hopefully this is a simple oversight on my part somehow? any advice much appreciated regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Standard questions. 1- Did you install the latest library files ? 2- Did you after installing the library files, open FTX Central, and let it activate the scenery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaran Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 1 - yes 2 - I am pretty sure I did? Is there a way of confirming? thanks, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can adjust its position using FTX Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaran Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 thanks Stew when I go into ftx central I only have one ftx line item in the insertion points adjusments window - it just says ftx in orange and is above all else, but no other ftx items listed there? I can go and try and change in p3d to put the lib above all else Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbaran Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 I've put the library in scenery list right to top, and then the squamish airport under that ?? but still no pacific ocean - just a big forested area where the oceans should be once I leave squamish ... maybe I need to just reinstall the ftx items one by one ... perhaps the pacific northwest 'cumulative' updates somehow got gibbled going in over the base p3d?? regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it doesn't, I would wait for Holger or another dev to help out. I only noticed your Libs were misplaced and possibly that might be the source of the problem.

Jbaran Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 if I want to uninstall and try a re-install of my ftx products, starting with pacific northwest, hd trees and then squamish airport ... how do I do it? is it relatively easy to uninstall the ftx items one by one from pd3? or would that be 'unwise' at this point? regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Blas Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Ron, try this: 1. Go to your ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery folder, and find the file named 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.OFF2. Rename this file to 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbaran Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 anybody??? really want to fly again with oceans :)!! and don't want to install all my other orbx airports until I get this sorted am fine with re-install of the ftx products to date but not sure of best way to uninstall heeeellllllp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaran Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 ok - oceans are back :)!! I found a link in sub forums on uninstalling all orbx ftx items - did so and re-installed taking care to first install the pnw then let the obj libraries update, while region on default, then 'unify' - all went well and then I re-installed orbx hd trees and squamish airport and just had a wonderful flight in the vans rv-4 landing at yvr .... I am sure much to the horror of the tower control there so now on to installing all my other pnw airports, Vancouver plus, Victoria plus, fsx dream team yvr, larry's ferries and terminals, Nanaimo, and on and on - looking forward to it thanks for all the wonderful products orbx team! regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi Ron, sorry I missed this thread but glad to hear you have the Pacific back. It's a bit odd though: usually, missing waterbodies indicate an issue with the Orbx custom block of entries for the terrain.cfg file. However, those entries are checked each time FTX Central is run. Not sure why that didn't work in your case, perhaps a temporary write-lock on your terrain.cfg. The other possible interference are water exclude files at higher display priority but you didn't have other scenery entries active above the FTX block. As for the positioning of the OrbxLibs FTXAA_ORBXLIBS entry: it is indeed sorted automatically (alphanumerically) by FTXCentral; but even if it wasn't it wouldn't make any difference to this issue because all it does contain is object library files and their textures, nothing to do with landscape components. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaran Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks Holger - I think it had something to do with install of pnw and then lib updates somehow - and central migration - at any rate so far so good ... but last night I realized I installed 5 orbx airports as p3dv2 (is that ok? They seem to be working fine?) or should I go uninstall them and download again from sim store - where I assume installer will give a p3d v3 optional? if so what is the simple way to uninstall orbx airports properly? regards Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
