Can't download scenery

Recommended Posts

Hi, welcome to the forums

 

Please try this,

 

Your simulator and all other programs need to be closed first, make sure your antivirus is not blocking it and your UAC is turned off, then try the below procedure.  Also be sure to have HD free space(temp folder) on C:\ that is at least two times the .zip file size so the product can download and extract itself.

 

Go to FTX Central 3 Settings.

Uncheck the “Use multiple threads for downloads”.

Click on the “Clear Temp” Button.

Click on “Save”.

Restart FTXC3, and try again.

 

 Please use a download manager for the below manual methods.  Browser extension download managers do not work for this. Below is a good free DL manager

https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

 

Alternatively, you can also use a download manager (to help avoid corrupt downloads) such as IDM and do a manual download from your Orbx Direct account web page (this is where a download manager works great) and click on the account button top of page, then find and click on the product info, and in the bottom line small print there is a manual download option, down load it and save it in a named folder, then open FTXC3 and select it, and click on the orange "installation options" and select "Install from my manually downloaded .zip". as per the below links. :)

When I tried to Clear Temp this error appeared: error1.png.84df2de55fdd4efc73b71f1051d33e6c.png

Hi,

If that doesn't help,   please try the following:

  • Reboot
  • Enter %temp% into "Ask me anything"/"Click here  to search" (Windows 10) or Start->Run (Windows 7) and hit enter
  • Delete the Orbx folder
  • Empty the Recycle Bin
  • Try again

Cheers,

Matt.

Tried to drag that holder into my recycle bin but it wouldn't go. I could drag it onto my desktop or other folder, but it does not go into the recycle bin. Nothing happens when I press delete either.

Hi,

 

I would then move to doing the below system checks as next steps,

I'd like to thank all of your for your help as the problem has been fixed!

 

I did a CD Drive repair and that seemed to fix the error. The scanning did not work but irregardless I then followed all the rest of Doug's instructions and it's all working. I just did a 4 hour non stop flight to make sure nothing is wrong.

 

And I'd also like to apologize for my lack of activity here as I started my PPL in early January and had virtually no time due to school and my flight lessons. 

 

Again thank you all for your wonderful help and ideas and fly safely!

Thanks, guys! I just was downloading the airports I got during the sale and got the same error message. Came here to see if there was any info and found this here and looking already solved. Will run through the steps tomorrow. Hopefully it all works for me too.

I hope it worked! I had the issue after I bought the scenery at the sale. What a coincidence!
