QVF70 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hello guys, I have just upgraded to FSX SE, and following installation of the latest ORBX Libraries as suggested from FTX central I get texture bleed through across my FS world. Most notably my SYDNEY is shown below, though I lose half my UAE and OMAN underwater. Is this a known phenomenon with a fix or can someone tell me how to restore my FSX SE to its pre ORBX library state? Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge1047 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi, Have a look in ` Full Terrain Experience (FTX) Payware Support Forum FAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Questions here ` Resolving rapid ground texture "morphing" By Holger Sandmann, May 20, 2014 May be of help.

QVF70 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hey Reg, I have tried this but to no avail, is there any other option otherwise I will simply take the product off. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Andrew Are you using FTX Central v3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QVF70 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hello Doug yes I am. It would be the most recent as I only downloaded it just after Christmas. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi Andrew Could you please PM me the email you us for you OrbxDirect account and or post a product order number? When you say you " just upgraded to FSX SE" does this mean you uninstalled another version of FSX? Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipy Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Doug, It seems I have the same problem in my FSX, most visible in Sydney (same than Andrew) but sometimes elsewhere (I had to rename LC*.bgl files from my FSDG Ayers Rock scenery for example in order to avoid strange textures around the airport) since I installed FTX Central V3 and completed the latest updates. I already tried to use an old copy of terrain.cfg without success. I'll try with the terrain.cfg provided with Resolving rapid ground texture "morphing" . I have Flytampa Sydney installed but experience the same problem when the 2 entries are inactive in scenery.cfg. At the same period I migrated to FTX Central 3 I tried the DX10 option in Fsx and went back to standard. Can this switch affect my FTX Global installation? Skip.

Doug Sawatzky Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Skip Just make sure your scenery library order is as the image below, And no, switching to DX10 and back will not create any of these scenery issues. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipy Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Doug, I was sur of it, setting up a new terrain.cfg didn't change anything. I'm not sure to understand the picture you sent to me. I just have from ORBX FTX Global, Europe and North America LC and some "Global" airports. Then I have a large number of 3rd party sceneries including Flytampa Sydney. If I set to inactive everything except Fsx default entries in my scenery.cfg I still have the problem. If I set inactive everything except Fsx default AND ORBX products entries in my scenery.cfg I still have the problem. Of course even with everything inactive there is always some addons bgl file in Scenery\World\Scenery but nothing related to Sydney. I attached my scenery.cfg if you see something wrong? I saw a .migrated file in my Scenery main folder. Is it possible something was broken? Missing FTX Global textures that cause the problem? Do I need to rainstall FTX Global from scratch (and download it again?). Skip. Scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi Skip Sorry, for some reason I am not able to open your .cfg file. The picture I attached is an illustration of the order your scenery library should be in, for example at the the top of the list is 3rd party, which means that all your 3rd party non Orbx addons should be placed at the top of your scenery library, and under that should be OZX scenery if you have it, then all of your FTX Regions and airports below that and so forth....:) Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi Doug, II finaly decided to reinstall FTX Global. I found an uninstall link for the v1.10 and ran it. Then I manually download FTX Global v1.40 and installed it via FTXC3. It wasn't easy because the uninstallation broke many things.and I had to restore (thanks to my ghost saves) Scripts\custom.gb_base. Then the first test at Sydney was succesfull :-) but I saw many OLC entries has disapeared from my scenery.cfg! The reason was many OLC folders were deleted (by FTXC3 after FTXG was unistalled?). So I restored all my OLC folders and kept my original scenery.cfg order. The problem is solved!!!! So I think I had an issue when migrating FTXC from v2 to V3? Skip.

Ammuka Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I have the exact same issue. However, I've only got the Holgermesh Australia and ORBx libraries installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammuka Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I ended up buying ORBX Australia. Very happy with the purchase and (luckily) the issue seen above hasn't followed me. However, I must say. I spent the better part of a day trying to work out what was going on with this issue. Trawled the forums and checked that the library orders were correct and Reinstalled FSX countless times. Tried to refresh the terrain.cfg file (By the way FTXCenteral v3 doesn't make a backup of the terrain.cfg file before it changes anything. I looks like Central V2 might've had this function) I haven't reinstalled the holgermesh out of fear of it breaking everything again. From a first impression point of view. It really wasn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as this procedure can serve to the op, I put it down here, maybe it helps. You need to restart the migration process again. See how. In the case of Australia. 1. To force the migration process, you need to delete all ".migrated" files that are in these folders below. ======================================= ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU05_ROADS\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU16_SHORES\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU18_CUSTOM\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU26_SHORES\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU28_CUSTOM\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU36_SHORES\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU38_CUSTOM\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU46_SHORES\.migrated ~\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAU48_CUSTOM\.migrated ======================================= 2. Then reopen the FTX Central v3 to start the migration process again. 3. After that, you can check if the migration was successful by running MigrationTroubleshooter in this folder ~\ORBX\Troubleshooter. You will get a figure like this: a. Fire up the simulator and see how it goes. Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman63 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi All Had a similar issue after loading ORBX scenery (no problem with other addons as I loaded them first) - see 'orbx1' file below. This occurred no matter where I started the sim. I resolved the issue through the Steam application as follows: Open 'Steam' - right click on 'FSX:SE' game file - select 'Properties' - select 'Local Files' tab - select 'Verify Intergity of Game Files. Steam will run a file validation. In my case it picked up 217 files that failed to validate (suspect these are overwritten or dumped when installing ORBX). You will notice a 'downloading' activation at the bottom of the Stean app, let it run until complete. On completion, close all and run FSX:SE. Don't panic when you see a 'Remove' and 'Install' notification, its part of the procedure. Go to your default load location, select the 'Top Down' view and zoom out. Hopefully all your textures have returned (see orbx3) with no impact on the ORBX scenery. It may sound a lot but the whole process literally takes less than 5 minutes.

Nick Cooper Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The error in the orange section is a known one. As you have illustrated very well, validating the Steam Edition files simply overwrites all files that have been modified by the FTX installation, effectively removing it.
