FSMontie Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yes I will, but FTXC3 is still broken on my end regardsless, so there might be something for the devs to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSteve Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 While some may consider this issue resolved, it in fact is not. My FSX now places scenery in the correct order, but my P3D gets moved around every time. Getting help is getting more difficult because people assume it is fixed. I have had posts on this topic for a week now with no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 assuming picture 22 is what your currently running, that may be your issue. look at post 27 and 28... obviously that has been ignored and will fix your issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 See, for me its Taxi2Gate KSEA. So i made sure no other payware entries go below it and selected the last T2G entry as my insertion point for ORBX to put everything BELOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSteve Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Not in my case now with P3D. I have both set properly and Central continues to move them to the top and sometimes removes Vector AEC from the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 BBQSteve, i assume you run it as admin and hit save? it wont screw up for me no matter how hard i try. do you have the latest FTXC? Have you tried other troubleshooting steps in other posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 try uninstalling FTXC3 and deleting the content in the appdata folder. Then reinstall. All your scenery of course will still be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSteve Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I have tried all the usual recommended solutions and none work. As I said, I have both FSX and P3D. I was having similar problems in FSX (except for the disappearing AEC) but Ben helped solve that one. This with P3D seems the same, but the usual solutions don't work.

elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 i have both FSX and P3D and have no issues. not sure here why one would work but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSteve Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 OK. Me either, that's why we are seeking help. Obviously it is not the usual problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the priority in FTXC does nothing, since regardsless of what I do, FTXC places the FTX airports below the FTX region in alphabetical order. As I said earlier this issue is only tied to FTX airport snot the 3rd party airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 i highly doubt that. your the only one so far experiencing this issue. I would like to see your scenery library insertion points again. Again, it should not look like picture 22 (where you have FTX on top of the list). Seeing it so, will allow further troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSMontie Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Okay fresh screenshots. One of the airport problem, FTXC insertion points, P3D library and P3D library where FTXC again places the airports below the regions... And for the record, I am not new to Flight Simulator, I know how the library works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSMontie Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 A bit disappointed there has not been an official Orbx member regarding this issue since Alex last Friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 To be honest I wouldn't be waiting for someone else to try and disect my system to find out why FTXC3 doesn't work on it, I would be putting the effort in myself. We know FTXC3 works, just what is it about the individual system that is conflicting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 then do an install and reinstall of FTXC3.... not sure what else to try here. You seem to be the needle in the haystack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQSteve Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Doogles, I/we appreciate your assistance, so don't take this wrong. BS FTX Central works. If it did, why are there so many posts with problems. I understand new people may have some of theses problems, but I personally have had either Flight Simulator, P3D and Xplane since each very first edition. You are not discussing these problems in this thread with amateurs. For me it is a last resort to come to these and other forums because I know that damn near every person who tries to help looks at the individual seeking help, as if they don't know the first thing about the sim. Now let's stick to what is happening. I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have similar problems as FSMontie. EVERY time I open FTX Central, it reorganizes my Vector files. Via third party Scenery Configuration Manager I set my scenery as it is supposed to be. FTX files are placed under my last third party airport followed by and in position 324 and 325, Tongass Fjord High and LOW, then in position 326 begins the OLC files, with the exception of ORBX!OPENLC_!EUROPE_LIGHTS which inserts itself in position 323 just above Tongass files. They end with ORBX!OPENLC_zBASE at position 338 just above Bathymetry in P3D. Then we follow down to line 365 Where Africa is. Just below that starts the five Vector Files in positions 366-370 where 1107 Base is in 371. Vector AEC ends up located at position 467 below 0000 Base and just above Default Scenery and Terrain in positions 468 and 469. As soon as I open FTX Central my scenry vector files that were in positions 366-370 are now at the top positions 1-5 and Vector AEC in position 467 is gone, poof vanished from my scenery file. I am perfectly willing to let any ORBX developer on my computer in TeamView to demonstrate the problem if necessary. So stop with the non-problem. It is and it is a very frustrating one, for all I'm sure. PS> Forgot to mention my FTX Central Insertion Points. They are FTX entries inserted below KORF (Position 181 just above FTXAA_ORBXLIBS) and openLC inserted just below Tongas_Fjords_Lower_Priority (Positions 324 and 325) Library-locations.json reflect the above {"FTX":"KORF_CAVUSIM", "OLC":"Tongass_Fjords_Lower_Priority","VEC":"$Scenery\\AFRI"} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 For one, FTX should be as you said you have done, below the last airport you have thats not ORBX. Your openLC needs to be below FTX. Cant help you further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not discussing these problems in this thread with amateurs. Hi Steve You are correct, there are a few users that are having problems for various reasons, that is very unfortunate, and it has nothing to do with being amateur or not, there is one user that can't even get FTXC3 to start for him and he is an experienced IT pro, but he does however acknowledge that the solution to his issue will be something simple but obscure, there was another user that eventually discovered it was his Norton AV that was causing all his grief ( are you using Norton hahaha?). When FTXC2 first launched I was not able to get it to work, it turned out it was my Radeon Pro that was causing the issue, how many people in the FS community are using Radeon Pro? lol....FTXC3 works great for me now (it just prompted me to install the new libs and all is good)....the first version of FTXC3 did not, I was experiencing the exact same issues as the OP, but had no problems dealing with it by using my free scenery config editor until the update come out and fixed the changing scenery library issue. FTXC3 obviously works for the majority of users, but those majority as you know are not on the forums just to tell everybody how great it works....so a few of us are just trying to help. I know you will eventually learn and figure out what is happening as will others, and the chances of it being Orbx's fault are very slim. No one is implying that it is a "non-problem" for you, I can imagine it is very frustrating. FWIW here is my scenery library that stays this way no matter what I do with FTXC3.

BBQSteve Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yep, with the exception of a few files I don't have we are exact until I open Central. Then the 5 vector files go to the top and AEC is deleted. Every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
