Timmy74 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hello Orbx, I am having a issue with my install of "FTX GLOBAL Lights Configurator (Version 1.30)"!? When I go to the "Control Panel" for FTX GLOBAL Lights Configurator in FTX Central, and allocate my preferences...when i click apply I get the following error message?!!?"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately Could not find path of the path. 'D:\Scenery\Global\Scenery\3D_Light_NEW_DDN_1_5.BGL.' What does this mean and how do I fix it please? I am doing a vanilla install of P3Dv4 onto a brand new machine...so everything is from scratch. Regards, Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hello Tim, the path suggests that you installed P3D directly to your D drive without a P3D root folder. Is this the case? It might also mean that you have not installed a product that has the new lighting system. Is the file there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a "P3D root folder"? I have a look and the file D:\Scenery\Global\Scenery\3D_Light_NEW_DDN_1_5.BGL. is there in that location...!? Cheers, Tim.

Dieter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 P3D is supposed to be installed in a root folder which could be "Prepar3D v4". Within this folder the complete installation should be carried out. P3D is working working without problems if not done this way but you will experience problems for example if you have FTX VECTOR installed. When starting the AEC Tool (Run Auto-Configuration) it will run endlessly because the software doesn't find the installation.

Nick Cooper Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hello, first create your P3D v4 root folder on your D drive. Then when running the installer, select Options and direct the installation into that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy74 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 All good now thanks Nick and Dieter. I have since gone for a 1TB SSD to run P3Dv4 on and have created a "Root" folder....so all seems to be working fine now. Thank you gentlemen.
