jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey everybody, I know this has been a common issue, but I haven't been able to find a solution that fits me yet. I am running FSX:SE and just bought the FTX Global Base package. I downloaded FTX Central 3 and installed the scenery as well as the ORBX libraries. I get into the game however and the stock scenery still shows. All of my FTX and ORBX labeled sceneries are at the top of my Scenery Library. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi Joel, Welcome to the forums FTX Global base is just a default texture replacement, but check out the below link. Merry Christmas! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey Doug. Thanks for the reply. I read through the link you gave me and I went around to some other destinations in the world to check for a difference, including the Manchester one, but with no luck. Anything I can do to fix this?

Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok, first off, all your third party addons should be above your FTX entries as per the image below. Then you will need to set the insertion point in FTXC3 to install below those third party entries. Also, here is how to post a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok. Is this better? All of the things above Imaginesim (12) are third party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Joel Also check in your FSX/Orbx/Scripts folder to see if the FTX Global folder is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok. I'm missing the FTX Global folder that is shown above. What should I do next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Does it show in FTXC3 as installed and up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Yes it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well I am a bit baffled lol. so maybe try the registry fix tool found in Nicks post# 15 in the below link, to make sure FTXC3 is pointed towards your FSX SE install, and you might have to then do an uninstall from the blue uninstall button in FTXC3 and then a reinstall to your newly discovered FSX SE install.

jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Tried this tool earlier and it came up with a message in red saying that no simulator was found. Anything I can do about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Is your sim installed in the default location? Are you using Norton AV? Or maybe another AV program you have is blocking access? Is your Windows UAC turned off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Try this other registry utility, I think it creates a registry entry that can be used. https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/18872/fsx-tweakfs-registry-utility-v121/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 My FSX:SE is installed in a SSD instead of the default C drive. No AV programs that I know of. UAC is on but I always choose yes for FTXC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I would turn UAC off, I think it still limits permissions when you select yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok I'll try the UAC and the other registry tool when I get home. I'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Nothing on the UAC changes anything and the Registry tool is the same one as I ran earlier. Any fixes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 So, you nave tried two different registry tools here correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yes. They were the same tool from different websites. Both sites downloaded the TweakFS tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 No, one was an Orbx tool, the other was the non Orbx tool which is TweakFS....they are completely different and serve different purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Oh ok. Sorry I wasn't including that one. In this case, yes I used both the ORBX tool and the Tweak FS tool. The ORBX one said that no simulators were found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 The Orbx tool could not find a registry entry, so that is why you need to use the Tweak FS tool, to create the entry so that the Orbx tool can find it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yeah I know. I tried the TweakFS tool and then tried the ORBX one again, but it still didn't find any simulators. Is there any other way to get it to recognize one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Not that I know of at this time.....what is the exact path to your FSX SE? Can you go there in explorer and post a screenshot please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sure. Here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ok, if you right click on your FTXC3 icon, where is its target located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 The Target Location is FTXCentral. This is the target C:\Users\joels\AppData\Local\Orbx\FTXCentral\FTXCentral.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Looks good....when you installed FTXC3 did it ask you to choose a sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 No it didn't. I thought that might be an issue. How can I get it to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I would uninstall and delete all Orbx folders, run a registry clean and start over, except this time do it with UAC turned off....just curious tho.....do have a C:\Users\joels\AppData\Local\Orbx\Simulators Folder? And is there anything it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'll try the registry cleaning and get back to you. And yes, I do have that folder. It has 5 c3json files that have flight sim names on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 There should be 5 .c3json, and 5 .json files for a total of ten.....I am betting UAC has prevented some of them from installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I cleared everything ORBX related from my system and ran both the Tweak FS tool and the ORBX registry tool. The ORBX tool still says that it can't find any simulators and I wasn't prompted to choose a sim. I turned off UAC and checked the folder, but I still only have the 5 .c3json files, no normal .json files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ok, if you open FTXC3 and go to settings, does your scenery library show in the Insertion Point tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yes it does but it doesn't update if I change the order in my library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ya, that's normal, it will only let you select an insertion point for FTX products. I sure hope someone else sees all the info in this thread and gets some other ideas lol Are you operating as administrator on your PC? Or right click on FTXC3 and select run as administrator.

jstonge24 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'm running it as admin. Not sure what else I can do. Is there anybody that I could PM for more help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
