robbiearnold Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 My first try with orbx, I decided to give it a try but having severe problems, D/L'd Base, Europe & trees ok,using FTX c3 Attempted to D/L England several times but kept getting re-entry notice followed be FTX c3 error "stopped working" I've managed to do a manual D/L for England but every time I select "install manual d/l in FTX central, it continues to try to re-download the full file again. In layman's terms please, "I'm old and useless" HOW do I get the huge zip file installed?. I've read everything I can find here but it's pretty much black magic to me. Thanks in advance Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiearnold Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi Doug, Thanks for the reply, I have been reading as many posts as I can regarding this problem over the last 2 weeks, I followed your suggestions this morning, even though I had tried all this before, but it's the same problem, FTX central is down loading from the server still...well I presume it is, it wouldn't take over 1 hour to access a zip file would it?. I use rural internet so I'm limited to 50 GB a month so It's hitting my limit pretty hard each time I try another D/L Attached these captures Doug, did I do it correctly?.

Doug Sawatzky Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi Robbie What you are doing does appear to be correct, but I am not sure why this is not happening correctly for you, so I have asked for help, thanks for your patience.

Matthew Webb Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi Robbie, It is possible that the ZIP file is corrupt, so FTX Central will automatically revert to download the scenery. Try the following, which will validate the file and use an alternate method to install: Extract the ZIP file to a new folder, confirm there was no error messages In FTX Central, go to settings press "Clear Temp" In FTX Central, go to the product installation screen Select "Install Options" Choose "I already have a backup" Choose the folder location where you extracted the zip file Choose select folder Choose Continue Thanks, Matt.
