captainwarez Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hello All! after taking several months break to play elite dangerous with my oculus rift, iv come back to continue my love for orbx flight. However I still have an ongoing issue with FTX England, I'm having a flooded and flashing texture image problem near the Southend-On-Sea Essex coast. iv uploading a couple of pics of the 2 problem areas in question. I have updated P3D to 3.4 and have upgraded to FTX Central 3 (previous to all this I had done a remigration but made no difference to the texture tiles in question) Hope you can help? would love to get this resolved without having to reinstall P3D.

Hi, Make sure your FTX Central 3 has an up to date ORBXlibs installed then replay migration by deleting ".migrated" from these directories: \ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY \ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_06_CVX \ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_08_CUSTOM\scenery Don't forget to close and open FTX Central 3 to initiate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 will try and let you know. I'm not having much hope as I already re run the migration process with central 2..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 the last file location I am only finding that migration file in the \ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_08_CUSTOM folder and NOT the scenery folder within the custom folder, is that correct?

captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 not made any difference. reloaded ftx central 3 and got a message saying scenery has been activated. reloaded p3d, still getting the flashing tiles in the same areas.

Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 After installation, a migration page should be displayed into FTX Central. If you don't have that stage, your textures keep being buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you uninstalled ENG, it need to be migrated again if you reinstall it. Also make sure your sur ORBXlibs is uptodate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 what do you mean migration? ( I was under the impression the migration process used with central 2 was to join all the ftx regions up so you could fly between them without needing to enable scenery areas in ftx?)why is it needed with central 3. how do I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 OK, I identified the faulty texture and I alter my installation to get the same result: Navigate to \ORBX\Troubleshooter and execute MigrationTroubleshooter.exe. You should have something similar: You can see England has missing files. So I uninstall England and reinstall (from backup folder or zip). I close and reopen FTX Central. After synchronisation is finished, I play again MigrationTroubleshooter.exe Let's go now into P3D. Flood lands are gone ! If MigrationTroubleshooter.exe keeps displaying error, just reinstall again from the FTX ENG backup. As for me, I did twice before it's resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 mmmm its reporting missing files from new zeland north and south islands, but England says migrated correctly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 To be sure to have it clean, delete Orbx folder from C:\Users\YourWinAccount\AppData\Local\Temp and reinstall FTX Central V3. Then proceed to reinstall England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I guess I could just live with it but the texures seem to swap around different tiles as I fly around which is very distracting. also the 2 picx are from different areas close to each other.

captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Richard thankyou for all your help and time on this problem. I will follow these instructions and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 To avoid reinstall, migration is also replayed if you delete .migrated files as mentionned. To get it launched, you have to open FTX Central and go to FTX England item. Wait for a complete synchronisation (see below en the left). FTX Central is a bit slow so be patient.Check with MigrationTroubleshooter.exe till the final success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 ok. I'm guessing an uninstall of central 3 was not needed? iv reinstalled over the top which was pretty much instant. Iv now uninstalled orbx England and have chosen to download and create a backup for later option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes, no uninstall of FTXC3 needed. In fact, if .migrated are deleted, migration only played if you go to this page: So, just try this way now and check. It's fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't see how repeating this process will make any difference. I'm down loading the libs and will reinstall manually to see if this helps. After that I give up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 In fact, you have 2 problems on your installation: - FTX Central is not properly installed (impacting ORBXlibs) - FTX England has an erratic status of migration saying all is fine whereas there are missing migrated textures The best alternative is starting with a clean installation within the right order. I replicate the issue on my side and I solve it. I cannot do anything else for you if you estimate it's useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm sorry but I don't see how you have real evidence of this? I have a tone of FTX regions and airports 3rd party planes ect!!!! I will need to reinstall all this just to clear up a few coastal tiles!!! just simply not worth the time and effort! thanks for all your help.

captainwarez Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Richard could you give me the name of that texture you removed so I can replicate the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's given into the report when MigrationTroubleshooter.exe and reinstalling FTX Central doesn't involve reinstall all your previous installed products. So: 1/ delete C:\Users\YourWinAccount\AppData\Local\Temp\Orbx 2/ delete .migrated from England directories 3/ Reinstall FTX Central from ORBX Direct 4/ Open FTX Central 3 5/ Uninstall and reinstall ORBXlibs 6/ Navigate to FTX England page into FTX Central 3 7/ Play MigrationTroubleshooter.exe to check then fly to confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwarez Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I had followed those instructions to the letter but had no joy. indecently there was no option to uninstall the libs so had to remove a certain file (cant recall the file or path, got info from a previous post from another orbx staff member) to trick central into reinstalling libs again. As the migration troubleshooter is not reporting any file problems I pretty much stuck with this unless I do a full reinstall of P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
