dhasdell Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I haven't flown over the Channel islands before, so I don't know whether this is new or normal, but Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney airports all have very pale grass areas (much lighter than in FLighT's pic in the other thread) with clumps of bushes scattered about all over the place and even, on Alderney at least, on the tarmac. I have plain FTX EU England (i.e. no Global, Vector etc)and have reinstalled the latest libraries. Any suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivenor Chopper Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hi David, I've just done a quick flight from Jersey to Guernsey, nothing untoward that I could see! Weather was set fair; summer time; 12.30/13.00hrs. FTX EU ENG etc. Have just taken a look at Alderney; Yes, the grass strip is quite pale, (closely cut and well used); I'd say it looked Ok! But there are certainly no bushes anywhere mate! Chivenor Chopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhasdell Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks. Let's see if anyone else is getting it. It's not just the runway that's pale, but the whole field. I looked at Bodmin for a comparison, but that looks normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 OK That's fine now. As you don't have FTX Global vector, there is certainly a fail into your migration process with vectors. Follow the steps below: 1 - Copy and paste the file below into \ORBX\Scripts\unified\regions from the root directory of your sim replacing the existing file. 2 - Launch FTX Central V2 and wait for its complete synchronisation Let me know if that works. Ben will update FTX Central which is the culprit. terrain_EU.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhasdell Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thank you. I have pasted the new file into Orbx\scripts\unified\regions in my FSX-SE, replacing the original, but it hasn't made a difference, even after running FTX Central 2 twice. Less importantly, I have changed my profile to show the order number, but now I can't see how to delete the old one which was used as a signature according to the old forum rules. Sorry.

Guest Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You should restart FTX Central before flying or else that's not taken account. Did you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhasdell Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yes. And I've just rebooted and run FSX Central again before restarting FSX, but still no luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhasdell Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 What sort of thing are we thinking of here? I have UK2000 Exeter demo which isn't that far from the Channel islands, but no other scenery apart from ones posted as freeware in FTX. Traffic360?

Starman58 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hello all I'm afraid I have the same issue; pale grass areas and bushes all over the place at the Channel Islands airports, including the taxiways and aprons. The migration process worked as it should as far as I was aware and I haven't seen the problem anywhere else. I don't have FTX Global either. I tried the procedure Richard described above but it didn't have any effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhasdell Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've made sure that FTX is right at the top of my scenery library, with Orbx libraries leading the list. I don't have any OLC. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you are not talking about UTX with SP5 as said by Christian. Something is preventing your system to use properly entries managed by FTX central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhasdell Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ok - I do not have UTX. Here's what I've done today: (i) Reinstalled England 1.40 and latest Libraries over the top of my install, but no difference (ii) Deleted both from the Orbx folder - default scenery visible, looked at Plymouth to see whether SP5 updates had disappeared, but there's still a Brunel Tamar bridge, though I wonder if this is a Steam update rather than FTX. Alderney a horrible mess. (see photo) (iii) Reinstalled 1.40 and latest libraries. Checked Tamar bridges and both are back to original release FTX England. Alderney still a mess of elevations (iv) Migration - no change . (v) Reinstalled 1.50/SP5 and latest libraries. Tamar bridges now updated. The SP5 Brunel is not the same as I saw earlier and includes the word "Engineer", confirming (I think) that Steam had updated the default at some time (vi) Migration - no change.

Guest Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm wondering why Steam restore some settings. Is there a way to inactivate that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman58 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've reinstalled FTX ENG 1.4, SP5, the latest ORBXlibs and re-run the migration process but Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney still look like David's second screenshot. During the migration process I noticed some entries were marked "cannot find the file specified", does this mean I'm missing some files somewhere? Everything else in the sim looks fine. I too am running FSX Steam but I don't think it restores any settings on the fly, as far as I know it's just FSX Gold rebuilt with the VS2013 compiler and including various bug fixes and optimisations.

N1EL Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi all. I too had the pale grass and bushes issue, now resolved thanks to the updated fils above. I still have the auto gen issue too. I noticed a mesh bgl for N and S channel islands could it be an issue with one of them. It seems strange the islands a split in two and half have no auto gen. it would be great to have this resolved before the do228 comes out from carendo.

Hi, There is nothing a SP can do for you if your migration process is faulty. You should replay it again then open a new topic to analyze it if it's KO again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
