Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi Guys!! So i was doing a full re-install of FSX and i think i misssed something on my uninstall or Install. I orignally downloaded the game from FS store and came of to FTX central 3. After my reinstall htere are trees all over the airport making the game IMO un playable. Any ideas why my airports look like this and how i can fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello and welcome to the forums. Is that a picture of default scenery or have you already added anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Please make sure that you have run FTX Central v3 and allowed it time to finish its work. You will see the words activating Orbx scenery appear briefly at the lower left of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That doesn't look good at all. Can you attach your scenery.cfg file from programdata\microsoft\fsx please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Should be attached! thank you for your help so far. Very efficient! scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello, You have no FTX scenery library entries. Please put the attached file into C:\programdata\microsoft\FSX\ and let it overwrite the scenery.cfg that is there. scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi nick, I mafraid that didnt seem to work. the Scenary looks unchanged. Though i am using FSX:SE (appologies i should of mentioned this sooner). So i did save the file in: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX it did over write the file in there. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi nick, Apologies i didnt realise i actualy had that file path until i typed it in, but replacing the file still didnt help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It seems pretty clear that the installation didn't go well. To save me any more guesses, can you tell me exactly what you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 So i thought i would Re-install to go through my process but now i have a new issue: So i link my account from The flight sim store to FTX through the website Downloaded FTX Central v3 Opened FTX Central 3 and pressed FSX Steam edition Downloaded FTX global and opened FSX. But now i went to re-install FTX global and i received this message. When i went to re-open FTXC3 it then wouldnt let me instal FTX global nad repeats the error message.

Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 There are two main errors. The first is that FTX Central is being denied access to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg. You may need to be sure that FTX Central.exe is being run as an administrator and also to switch off your User Account Control. The second is Could not find file 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Orbx\Scripts\scenerylib_FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS.cfg'. Can you confirm where you have FSX-SE installed please? Also, I wonder why that error would show if you are trying to install FTX Global. Are you in fact trying to install the freeware airports as well or instead?

Vernibob Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 My FSX is being saved to here : D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX As for the airports i did download aswell as FTX global ( the first time) then they didnt appear installed after and i didnt bother about them for a little while. What do you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I suspect then that FTX Global is correctly installed. You may need to be sure that FTX Central.exe is being run as an administrator and also to switch off your User Account Control. Then you may be able to make FTX Central write to your scenery library.

Vernibob Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi Nick, So i deleted both folders and re installed FTXC3 and still getting the message to send the log ftxc3.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks, that is the scenery.cfg error only now. "UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg' is denied." You will need to be sure that FTX Central is running as an administrator, that your User Account Control is off, that you are logged on as an administrator and that you have no anti virus software active.

Vernibob Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi Nick, Im sorry but its still not working. But i may have some more info that might help*, what i will do is descrive every step and "status" that i have been in and done. I uninstalled FTX global and FTXC3. I uninstall FSX aswell (to start fresh) I opened FSX and went to see if the mesh and scenary was ok and the default scenary now has the same issue (please see image below) I then restarted and made sure i was logged on as admin, and re downloaded FSX (through steam) and FTXc3 I opened FSX:SE Defualt and went to see if the mesh and scenary was ok and the default scenary now has the same issue (please see image below)* Thinking the re-install of FTX may help this i opened FTXC3 as Admin (Clicked: "Run as Administrator") Proceeded to Download FTX with the file log mentioned. thats basically it so far. so this leads me to think it might be something with FSX now?

Nick Cooper Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Try deleting the following two folders, FSX will rebuild them the next time you start it. C:\Programdata\microsoft\FSX C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernibob Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hi Nick! IVE DONE IT!!! ITS FIXED! I did what you suggested at first by deleting the two file paths you suggested and didnt work..... i then basically decided to delete everything i could find that said FTX, ORBX, FSX, or anything icould find related to FSX basically. So i re built it from the ground up. i need to add all my other add ons so if i run into something that puts it back into the state i was in before ill be sure to post it on here!! Thanks for all your help, im sure it wasnt easy for you!! Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
