alpeltier Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I loved my Orbx with FS-x. Fantastic scenery! I bought over $200 worth of ORBX products today for my (newly purchased) Prepar3D V4 and after install it (Global and Pacific Northwest) nothing changed in my flight simulator. Same old terrible scenery. I know it isn't showing or working. FTX central (3) only offers me to download my products. Before, The old FTX central would let me add or configure my scenery. This new FTX doesn't offer me anything except download. What am I missing? In Prepar3D, I have added areas under scenery/add menu (as a desperate attempt to fix things). That didn't do anything. Anyway, I have no idea where to go from here. I won't even download the 3 more areas I have purchased. In my Prepar3d V4 directory, there is an Orbx directory and it looks like all the files are there. I know that I must be missing a simple step, but I can't figure it out. I have been a flight simmer for 30 years and I have never ran into something so complicated. Sorry for the gloom, but some of you will know the feeling. Hoping for a miracle :-) al pelletier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hello, welcome to the forums. Have you yet installed the Orbx libraries? Most of the features that you saw in FTX Central v2 are also in FTX Central v3 and similarly, there are to be found on the settings page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpeltier Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 thanks Nick. I know it has to be something simple. I am doing an update right now, in FTX Central 3. Once it is done, I will upload a picture of what I looks like. It doesn't offer me to add areas etc..... At least I can't find a button to take me there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpeltier Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've Got it!!! Don't know what I did but it is working. Thank you Nick. I still don't understand the new FTX Central or what it does (compared to the old one). I don't understand the "Use Object flow 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpeltier Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 My question should have been: Should I use the Object Flow 2 in Prepar 3D. The sim asked me that question when I started it and I said no. Not sure what the correct answer is. I have a very fast machine with tons of power. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes is the correct answer to that question. It won't make much difference to PNW but objectflow 2 is required for any payware airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
