pilot100ll Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hello all. I've just finished loading FTX Central on my computer simulator and I've had no issues. I then purchased and downloaded the Orbx Global Base Pack. It downloaded somewhat easily with no issues either. My concern is that I loaded a flight in P3D v4 expecting to see the "WOW FACTOR" of Orbx. Much to my surprise, nothing had changed. I had the same default textures and blocky images as I did prior to the installation. A rather silly question, but how to I get the awesome textures Orbx promises? Do I need to adjust the settings in P3D v4? I'm trying to find a forum or video to see how to use the download after it installs but much to my amazement I cannot find anything. In advance, Thank you for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi, Please install the Orbx Libraries. Also please add a product transaction ID to your next post for further support. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot100ll Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hello Doug, I'm not sure what you mean by install Orbx Libraries. I downloaded Orbx Base Global through FTX Central. Was I supposed to do anything after that? Doesn't Orbx do all the installation for me? Please advise if I did not do it correctly. I read a post where Orbx is still developing the DLL for 64 bit which is what have. I am missing buildings and objects at the location I started from. Could it be that development is still taking place? Transaction ID: 59c456a504304 Regards, JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi JP The image I posted above shows the Orbx Libraries access location circled in red, please check yours and click on it, is there a blue notification above the settings button in the left lower corner of your FTXC3?

This has nothing to do with FTX Global Base, Vector or any Regional product, it only affects the individual airport products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot100ll Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 libraries is installed and still same issue. libraries was installed ahead of the global download. does that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot100ll Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I assume that global includes all areas of the world. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 That is correct. You could also do the comparison check method in the below link, and please post some screenshots with coordinates from the Shift+Z key for us to have a closer look.

pilot100ll Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I am using the p3d default resolution settings. Should I have them maxed out? Another thing I noticed is that my control panel in the FTC central for the global base is greyed out. I am unable to select any of the choices. Maybe there is something in the FTC central settings that I need adjusted. I downloaded global and libraries through FTC central but did not select download and backup. I downloaded only.

Triplane Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The Global Base pack is replacement textures only. There is nothing to configure so there is no control panel..........The Other Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot100ll Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks guys. I had to adjust all my default settings. Once I turned them up all the benefits were as expected. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
