MD82 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hello, I have the same remark as some others recently regarding differences after FTX Global Base was installed. I fly the middle east a lot and that was the 1st region I opened after installing. I didn't notice a difference really. So I went and started playing with the Scenery Library. Editing and re-selecting the designated folders. Still no difference for me. I went to various airports and took screenshots, including Cairo (which is a screenshot in the FTX Global page). The only airport I noticed a change was Riga in Europe. Here are the results (1st with the library entries active, and 2nd with the entries de-selected): Cairo Lakeland, FL Curacao Island Guangzhou, China Urumqi, China So I do not see any difference in those screenshots. Or maybe I am checking it the wrong way. This is my only ORBX product. It is installed together with the December 2016 libraries and the ORBX folder is 4.39 Gb in size.

Dieter Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 To get your question answered an order number or transaction ID is requested by Orbx support rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi, Welcome to the forums FTX Global Base is not a scenery addon and will not show up in your scenery library to turn off and on, it is a default texture replacement. Did you also install the Global freeware airport packs? Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I suspect that there is something wrong. The Orbx libraries are only 1.49GB, I would expect the Orbx folder to be around that size with only Global installed. Did you perhaps elect to back up your default textures and choose the Orbx folder as the destination? There are three scenery library entries added by FTX Global and FTX Central puts them in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It's only a detail, you are quite right in saying that it cannot be switched on and off and the presence or not of the library entries makes no overall difference. That's why of course the screenshots all match each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello guys, sorry for the delays. After posting I started thinking that indeed the Global is a texture replacement. What I was doing is deactivating and reactivating the 4 library entries in the P3D and trying to notice a difference. The 4 entries are the Orbx library, EU, AA and NA LC. This didn't achieve any differences because I guess the only way to achieve is to restore e defaults. In that case I presume that these photos are with FTX Global enabled. Can anyone conform if the shots look correct of FTXGlobal? It is the only ORBX product I have installed. The whole folder is 4.39 Gb, but inside FTX_AU is 1.5 Gb and FTX_OLC is 1.4 Gb. The whole reason I posted is that I thought from the Cairo screenshot that the deserts of the middle east would get a good re do, but I didn't notice a difference. But if the shots indeed are correct for and FTX Global intall the we're god. Thanks for the replies... PS I backed up the textures to a separate hard disk.

Nick Cooper Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello, I think you have correctly installed the product but perhaps chosen a poor way to compare. Here is a shot which you can replicate and use to compare with what you see. On the other hand, here are two shots which, I think you will agree, look very different. Try a visit there and you will be convinced one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I will do just that and report back. Thank you Nick.... Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
