HOWARDDB Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hello I have a query regarding the use of FTX Central 2, I hope that is the appropriate forum. Wish to use the following 3 products in FSX (Disk version) and FSX SE (Steam version) on the same Windows 10 computer. FTX Global BASE FSS0322343 FTX Global VECTOR FSS0331455 FTX Global open LC EUROPE FSS0331455 All 3 plus the ORBX librarys have been installed using FTX Central 2 into FSX (Disk) and FSX_SE (Steam) - the Disk version works correctly for UK & Schipol, FSX SE has a problem with much of Middle England shown as water, it seems from the following that Global open LC Europe has not installed The following Snippets show the contents of the Versions from FSX/ORBX/User Documents a: FSX DISK installed correctly http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/09/04/FSXSteamaab58.jpg b: FSX SE versions missing http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/09/04/FSXDISK4b9c6.jpg Following a search of the forum a copy of Terrain.cfg from FSX Disk was pasted to FSX SE and some improvement to the near views but still corrupt at distance. This evening, suspecting a corruption in the earlier installer, a new download from FlightSimStore was obtained and was re-installed to FSX SE carefully to ensure correct selection of version to install, the following Snippet shows the files downloaded. Following the installation the Migration process was run from FTX Central 2, reportedly successful, however the window showed Drive F: the FSX Disk not Drive D: FSX SE being copied. The Following Snippet shows the LC Europe files http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/09/04/DownloadFiles.jpg The amount of data in the Scenery files differs: FSX Disk 15.3Gb Files 36803 Folders 246 FSX SE 13.7Gb Files 33370 Folders 261 My system is Windows 10, 16Gb Ram, Steam on a SSD with 50Gb free space, FSX on a standard HDD Please advise is there a quick fix or point out my error(S) many thanks HOWARDDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Are both versions of FSX installed on the same HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The answer to that is in the second to last line of the post. Hello Howard, Welcome to the forums. When you installed to FSX-SE, I assume that you used the FSX Steam Edition installer? I assume also that when you open FTX Central, it shows you an opening menu to choose whether to run it for FSX or FSX-SE? Though you seem to have mixed up the FSX and FSX-SE user documents shots, it does seem that the OpenLC Europe hasn't installed into FSX-SE, though the presence of user documents gives no indication as to the success or otherwise of the installation of the files. The total reported size of my 10 OpenLC EU folders is 18.1 GB. Your shot of what you describe as LC Europe files shows the installer, what total size are the installed 10 OpenLC EU folders in FSX?

HOWARDDB Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hello Nick Thank you both for your response - the total size of the 10 Open LC EU folders ( in the ORBX folder) is 18.089Gb my arithmetic is so rusty had to use a spreadsheet I should have made it clear that the 18.089Gb was in the Steam folder and the same as the Disk folder.

Nick Cooper Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You could have selected them all in Windows file explorer and then the properties tab and it does all the work for you. It seems then that the product installed correctly to FSX but you now want to install it to FSX-SE. Do you see the option to select this when you run the installer and do you have the FTX Central start menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOWARDDB Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yes I've selected "FSX SE(in parallel with FSX Boxed) and when FTX Central has run used the trouble shooting option to run a migration. The migration process Window shows repeated copying to my F: disk which is used for FSX Boxed but not the D: disk (FSX SE). Thanks for reminding that Windows Explorer works at all levels - another senior moment! Regards Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello Howard, You might download the FTX Registry fix tool from the foot of the freeware page. Use it to check that your registry entries for FSX and for FSX Steam Edition are not the same. You can use the same tool to amend the Steam Edition one if necessary.

HOWARDDB Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello Nick The FTX Registry fix tool shows two correct (as I expected) registry entries, the tool had to be directed to FSX SE - i.e it did not find it by searching the registry as I expected. I wonder if the Trouble Shooting Diagnostic Reporter show up anything to me - say using MS Notepad - believe there is a note suggesting it should not be used freely? I have installed to FSX SE a couple aircraft which are in FSX Disk - A2A Cessna 182 and Coronado Baron 58 - thinking these may have added scenery files there are 2 aircraft QW 146 which does not support Steam and JustFlight Dove & Devon PC Pilot demo cannot find the CD. Thank you for your suggestions Regards Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
