Archer Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I bought Global and Norway today, installed it and activated it. It shows up in the FSX:SE Scenary library, they are all at the top, but when I load the game it's still the vanilla textures. Any tips? It does say that Europe is Active in the FTX Central.

Nick Cooper Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hello and welcome to the forums. After you installed your new products, did you also download and install the latest libraries? That will give you the latest version of FTX Central and also allow you to migrate all the files to match the new file structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I did not as I saw a thread on here statying that he thought the latest libraries update was the cause of a huge performance loss for him, but I guess I have to try and hope for the best!

Archer Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nope, still doesn't work after the update. The following image was just taken in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I am thinking that your scenery is properly installed but perhaps your expectations are different. Here is a replica of your screen shot which looks pretty much the same to me, especially the radio mast on the hill top which is not default.

Archer Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Mabye, I did notice some differences but for a big part I couldn't really see a difference. Also, this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 That shot shows that you do indeed have the products installed. If that is Norway, try unticking the four FTX_EU_NOR entries in your scenery library, reload the scenery and you will see the difference. The black shapes are FTX lighting and they do not display properly if you run FSX with the Preview Direct X 10 box in Display settings checked. There are three fixes, 1. Untick the box and run the simulator in Direct X 9 mode. This is what the product was designed for. 2. Download and install the free fix from the Avsim File library, file name shader_release_v3.2.3.zip. This will fix the lights in Direct X 10 but leave numerous other anomolies left by the developers of FSX 3, Purchase the Dx10 Fixer from here This will cost you money but most of us who have it agree that the benefits, which are not limited to the FTX products, outweigh the cost. You must choose your alternative, depending on your requirements. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Okey, I guess I thought it would be a bigger difference based on what I've seen from others. I'm thinking about purchasing P3D so I'll hold on the payed shader fix. Yeah I did have the free shader fix but apparently an older version, getting a newer one fixed that. I appreciate the help!
