aero-3fsx Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 After getting Vector installed successfully in P3D V3 last night, I still have no water only sand dunes I ran all the config options possible in FTX Central 3.2 I even disabled the Vector entries in the scenery config file Which location should the Vector entries be in the scenery.cfg file? Maybe somehow my water textures have gone or been overwritten I am using REX textures and I am sure my v3 sim has soft clouds in the air so it should have inserted water textures too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aero-3fsx Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Here is a screen shot just south of the default airport KVPS N30 14.44' W86 32.58' most sea is this sandy texture but on the coast it can be generic industrial area textures complete with autogen buildings & trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Here are a couple of scenes from Pago Pago OrbX just above the airport - fresh install minutes ago The sand should of course be sea and some of the green shown should also be sea Surprising is the sea on the hills I have no external mesh installed - its P3D default & whatever OrbX adds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, I would uninstall FTX Vector and then reinstall it, before you do, could you please attach a copy of your Terrain cfg? It looks like something more than Vector is at play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 I will provide the terrain.cfg file here and will hold off on reinstalling Vector It was after first Vector install attempt that my water disappeared. The install stopped at 30Mb and would not go past this To get Vector to install I wiped my Antivirus & cleared the firewall terrain.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi there, that's a weird terrain.cfg as it only contains the custom Orbx entries but none of the default bits; it can't possibly work this way and I'm surprised your sim starts at all. Where did you get this terrain.cfg from? The active version resides in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3. If that's where yours is from I'd suggest removing it entirely from that folder, then starting P3Dv3, which will force it to build a new default version. Then you would start FTX Central, which in turn should add the Orbx block of custom entries to the new default terrain.cfg. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi Holger Thanks for your assistance I had the same problem when I first reinstalled v3 on my new SSD Nick from York sent me a new scenery.cfg file and it worked It appears something really screwed up with the install I followed your suggestion and everything appears to be working well Now to get my v4 back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Both sims now working Will only fly v3 for a few airports & till a few planes become compatible with v4 Then later in the year v3 will go the way of the dinosaurs on my computer Admin, you may mark this thread as no longer active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
