active FTX Global folder empty

[James Kelly]

Hi all

 

I was hoping if someone could shed some light on a problem I am having. This morning whilst firing up my sim, I was greeted with the dreaded 'generating scenery files index' freeze on 88% after installing ESSA. I uninstalled and of course the problem persisted. I used an addon organiser which showed me two folders that had incorrect paths. These two folders were FTXAU38_CUSTOM and FTXAU48_CUSTOM located in the FTX_AU folder which is located in the main ORBX folder (I do not own ORBX Australia and I can't remember if this folder is part of ORBX Libraries or FTX Global). Now I am not the smartest guy in the world when it comes to fixing issues with Prepar3d or addons, therefore I just disabled those two folders. I started up my simulator again and it began working again.

However whilst troubleshooting I noticed that my FTX Global folder is completely empty, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this issue and somehow let me know if any other folders would be comprimised or missing scenery. I managed to permanently fix the two folders that had incorrect paths by using force migration.

 

I use a symbolic link for ORBX as well as a different bit of software for lights (Global and Vector ... only mentioning in case this is what's causing the problem). For ORBX, I currently have FTX Global (empty), FTX Vector, Europe Open LC, North America Open LC, FTX England, FTX Germany South, ORBX Trees,  KSAN and LOWI installed. I have included my FTX Global transaction on my profile.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

if you have no products that install to FTX_GLOBAL it will indeed be empty and there will be no ill effect.

Oh wow I had no idea. Thank you very much for the clarification.
