Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi, I seem to be getting a load of problems installing EU England. Firstly getting water where land should be (Sorted that now) now am getting land where water should be! The water between South England and the Isle of Wight is good in FSX, but with Orbx installed the water has gone in favour of Land. I haven't had time to try other areas of UK coast lines yet! Could anyone shed any light on this (in English please, not computer language, I am a beginner!). Thanks, Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Greg Is your FSX updated to SP2 or Acceleration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Doug, yes I have installed SP1 and SP2 on FSX (Windows 10). The image shows the problem, which goes away when I disable EU England. Also to the right on the Image is the West of England which looks like EU England doesn't appear!

Do you have more than one HD installed? I am also wondering why it is D:\Datadrive1? Normally the "Program Files (x86) is on C:\ drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have an HP PC that has a C:/ drive as normal which is basically a drive to hold the windows 10 operating system. It also has a D:/ called datadrive1, (so is D:/Datadrive1). That is where FSX lives. (D:/Datadrive1/program files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X). When I installed FSX it wanted to install to C:/ but I had to change the C:/ for D:/ (hope this makes sense!) I think it is not right to have to uninstall FSX and its updates etc, etc, etc just to be able to run ORBX when everything in FSX works perfectly where it is! I look forward to your comments please Doug. (Thanks for trying to help). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello, The actual path will be D:\ program files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Doug is right in as much as it is an unnecessarily complicated location but it will have no effect on the way that FSX runs. Can you go to C:\Programdata\Microsoft\FSX and attach the scenery.cfg file that you will find there to your next post please? You may need to enable "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to see the Programdata folder in Windows File Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Greg Unfortunatly its a decades old issue with FSX, it may work fine as default, but windows restricts permissions at that location and will cause havoc for most addons, not just Orbx products.

Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 At C:\Program Files (x86) perhaps, but at D:\Program Files (x86)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Nick, Please find attached what you asked for: Scenery.CFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 It can't go on C drive as that is nearly full, it is only 117GB where as D is 2.72TB and nearly empty in comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello, There is nothing wrong with your scenery.cfg file. For future reference, when installing FSX, first create a folder with a name of your choice on the drive of your choice. D:\FSX for example. Then, when you run the installer, choose the custom option and you can direct it to place all the files into your previously created D:\FSX. You might try the new Force Migration button in FTX Central\Settings. If that doesn't improve things, try this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamallene Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks Nick, the Migration did the trick. Thank you both for sorting this headache out for me, I appreciate it. Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
