active Red Words "WINTER" showing up in my scenery

[iamgbs]

Hi guys,

 

I own a whole lot of ORBX stuff: Global base, Global Vector, Open LC NA, Open LC Europe, Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, HD Trees and a few airports. I am registered with you in this forum and FTX Central so assuming you can view my account? Just in case, I purchased a few from FSS - Order FSS0434382 back in 12/2015.

 

So here's the problem:

 

Strangest thing: Red word "Winter" is appearing all over my UTX scenery (Running W10, P3Dv4.1). I have consulted with Scenery Solutions and received the following from their Certified Specialists:

"What you are seeing is tiles that are in the sim but were used for development which is why they have the season markings on them.

They date back to FSX and were never removed after its release.

I have never seen them show up in the sim with UTX but I highly suspect this is in fact a Orbx issue where they have altered iclookup.bgl and even though you think you disabled Orbx, it really isn't completely restored.

Their control files overwrite default. I suspect those test tile numbers from the old Aces FSX developments days are being used by Orbx with their control files and graphic installs".

I am attaching a screenshot which also has coordinates so you can see this for yourself.  At least I would if I could figure out how to upload the .jpg without an error 200.

Would appreciate if you would let me know how this can be fixed, please.

Thank you,

Geoff

Hi Geoff

 

It does not have anything to do with "altered iclookup.bgl "  it is most likely if you attempt to uninstall or disable Global Base this will happen, FTX Global Base is a default texture replacement and is completely compatible with UTX, so there is no need to uninstall or disable it. I believe FTX Global Base is the only default texture replacement product that actually fixes this flaw left over from Aces FSX devolpment, and I am shocked that the "Certified Specialists" are so ill informed. 

 

All you will need to do is reinstall FTX Global Base.....so please go to your P3D\ORBX\User Documents\Versions folder and delete the "FTX_GLOBAL_BASE_PACK".txt and use FTXC3 to reinstall it.

 

Cheers

Hi Nick & Doug,

 

Sorry, I did not see the previous posts on this problem as I scanned the Forum.

 

Nevertheless, thanks so much for your indulgence in giving me the fix for this.

Geoff
