Theo Brinkman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi I updated Vector today and after that I now have the same issue/problem as Bigglesworth? So Doug's suggestion is not the solution for me. What can we do? Any idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi Theo Then you will have to uninstall and reinstall... Click on the blue Vector uninstall button. Click on the "Clear Temp" button under the FTXC3 settings, then go to your FSX\ORBX\ folder and delete the entire FTX_VECTOR folder, then go to the FSX\ORBX\User Documents\Versions folder and delete the FTX_GLOBAL_VECTOR_PACK.txt file. Then reinstall from FTXC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Brinkman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Doug, looks great. It works !! Thx Something else... ( This is/was the reason I liked to use Airport Elevation Correction... ) Do you have any suggestion why I'm not seeing Aitportsceneries(buildings etc) like Carcasonne-LFMK and Beziers-LFMU in France. I know they must be there but I can't see the. I see parts of buidings(roofs) in the air etc. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Good to hear Theo! I won't be at my FS computer until later today, so I would highly recommend starting a new topic with some screenshots, as this thread has been marked as answered.

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ok, do the uninstall again as above, but this time to reinstall, sign in to your Orbx Direct account on the web page, and click on the account button top of page, then find and click on the Vector product info, and in the bottom line small print there is a manual download option, down load it and save it in a named folder, then open FTXC3 and select Vector, and click on the orange "installation options" and select "Install from my manually downloaded .zip".

jsapair Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Great info Doug. I, too, was having some issues. The manual DL option is what I needed. I keep getting an "out of disk space" error even though there's 2 GB available. Thanks, jsapair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi Jsapair Make sure you click on the "Clear Temp" button in FTXC3 settings which will free up some space, but you will need approx 25GB to DL, unzip and install Vector as the zip file is 8GB and the installed size is about 13GB. If need be you can also move your Temp folder to a different drive, have a look at the below link. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/change-location-of-temp-files-folder-to-another/19f13330-dde1-404c-aa27-a76c0b450818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsapair Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks Doug. I left out a couple of zeroes. There's 200 GB available on my K: drive where FSX resides...K: being the second half of my partitioned SSD, C: being the first half. I'm hoping a manual install to K: will work. I'll manually DL the update to another drive, as you suggested, and try to install from the .zip. My C: drive is definitely full. So you think the problem might be that the Temp files are attempting to DL to my full C: drive, by default? That would make sense to me. I'll check out your link for changing the path of the Temp folder. Every little bit helps at this point. Thanks again, Doug. I think you have me pointed in the right direction. jsapair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
