Captainali747 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hello, I've installed ftx central after I made an account a while ago. Soon I will purchase orbx products. However, ftx central asked me to install orbx libraries so I did so. Then I enter p3d v4.3 and it asks me to enable 'orbx object flow 2'. I clicked yes and then I see that all the airports in the game have black ground textures, as if they were burnt. I disabled the addon and restarted and still the same problem... Can you help please.

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hi, welcome to the forums Please install your FTX Global Base Pack, and then run the "Force Migration" option in FTXC3 settings and all should be good. Then also be sure to re enable orbx object flow 2. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captainali747 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Can I just ask for a favor, I've been flying in Bahrain international airport when I had the problem. Can I see how it looks like with global base pack, to know whether to install another photo real scenery for it or just keep orbx. Thanks..

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sure, but FTX global base pack replaces the default textures, it is not an addon that you can turn off....so you can check for yourself by installing FTX Global base, go to Bahrain international airport and see how it looks, then install your photo real scenery over top and see how it looks....if you like it better with just the FTX global base pack, then all you need to do is uncheck/deactivate the photo real scenery in your scenery library. I have a PTA preset installed and a REX TD theme installed, so it would not give you an accurate showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Pick a slower airplane and let your PC catch up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 it's there even when I'm on the ground. In areas with mountains it shows mountains around. I still see it with an a320. I'll try a beechcraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Well, it's their with all aircrafts, it because of the shaders or something else, it only came when I installed orbx libraries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ok, could you please post a copy of your scenery.cfg file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\scenery. You could also delete the shaders folder and restart the sim to build another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ok, first you need to set the insertion points in FTXC3 as per the below instructions. Ensure all of your 3rd party non Orbx addons are at the top of your scenery library and above your FTX entries. Then in FTX Central 3 Insertion points, move "FTX entries should be inserted below" just below your last 3rd party addon. Then move the "openLC entries should be inserted below" just below your FTX entries. and click "Save". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 I set it like that a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Well they are not correct in the above scenery.cfg....the FTX needs to be moved to below you're "FlyTampa-Dubai_LC" entry. Then click "Save" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I did it, but still nothing. I moved the ftx entries under flytampa dubai and the openlc under ftx. I moved some vector entries around. It's not changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Ok, but please do not move any Vector entries around, they must be left where the installer puts them. What are your system specs? There is something else wrong that probably has nothing to do with Orbx.... But also please reinstall the Orbx Libs by going to your P3D\Orbx\User Documents\Versions folder and delete the "FTX_AA_ORBXLIBS .txt" file, and then reinstall the Libraries from FTXC3.

Captainali747 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'll try that. I don't think it's a problem related to specs. Because it was fine before this happened. However, thank you for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hello, did you try Doug's suggestion of deleting the shaders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yes, but the simulator asks for the folder as you start it. It won't generate them again. Is it a specified folder or file in the shaders folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The simulators all simply generate the shaders folders again. The correct folder to delete is C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Could you please add coordinates to your screenshots using the Shift+Z key's so we have a chance at guessing what is supposed to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainali747 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 This is the gcc, nearly north of Bahrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captainali747 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ok I'll fly there and show the coordinates. But it's all around the world so it's everywhere. What could it be though, no one got this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captainali747 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Ok, but do I reinstall orbx too or just leave it along with other addons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If it was me, I would start from scratch and do a clean install of everything and run the sim regularly between installs to confirm all is good along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hello, welcome to the forums. Please start your own topic in the relevant simulator forum and include some details, the simulator, a description of the problem and ideally, a screen shot. Thanks.
