MattH2580 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi all, Doing the move from P3Dv2 to P3Dv3, and with that I'm reinstalling all of my core Orbx addons (I'll do the rest with Orbx Direct when it comes out) along with some of the major airports. For me this means: - Global Base, Vector and openLC. - Most regions - Airports such as ESSA, KPSP, YMML etc - Trees HD My question is this: After installing each Orbx product, do I have to launch P3D and let it configure stuff (sorry for the lack of technical language, but I'm not too sure with what goes on behind the scenes after installing P3D addons), or can I just install one Orbx product after the other without opening P3D to save a lot of time? Also, do I have to open FTX central v2 every time I install an Orbx addon as well? Suffice to say, Orbx Direct will be absolutely awesome as it will make big jobs like this a whole lot easier! - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 No, you can install all your products one after another. If you see error messages or FTX Central v1, ignore them and ensure that the last thing you install is the latest libraries. Open FTX Central v2 when you have and ensure that the migration process takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattH2580 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 On second thought Nick, I have another question regarding the installation of libraries. So far I've installed Global, Vector and openLC EU. What I've noticed is that currently my FTX Central V2 is operating using separate regions, rather than one whole region after the big scenery merge. What kind of implications does this have for new addons such as openLC NA and LDDU Dubrovnik, which were released after the merge? All of the addon installers say I require the latest Orbx libraries, and yet the installation guide here: says to install the Orbx libraries last, and you also confirm this. Could you clear this up for me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 All the installers have to say that, in case they are the only product to be installed. If you stick to my advice and just ignore FTX central and any other error messages, when you install the libraries last, the latest FTX Central version will be installed with it. Then, when you run it, it should carry out the migration on the files that need it and leave the others alone. If it does not, you will find a "Force Migration" command and you can make it do the migration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattH2580 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well I guess you have 100x more experience than I do with this, so I'll take your advice and just install them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
