flsm (Frank) Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Excuse my ignorance on this and apologies if it has been covered already. I am relatively new to Orbx and am loving it. I think I have most of the Orbx stuff for XP and it all looks great. But I have not installed the Orbx freeware Libraries. Do I need to? Am I missing something by not having the Libraries? (BTW, am dying for more Aussie-specific stuff!). Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 You need the Orbx Libraries for EGHI Southampton to work properly. Currently that is the only product requiring it but I forsee it will be required probably for upcoming Orbx releases. Get it and install it.

I am on a Mac and there is no cross-platform version of the freeware Orbx Libraries. My Orbx scenery looks OK without those Libraries. For EGHI we were told to re-download because they forgot to include the libraries in the initial EGHI download. And I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the freeware Orbx Libraries are not required for XP on Macs. So I am a little confused. Cheers.

Nick Cooper Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 There are two distinct and different libraries. The Orbx libraries are not for X Plane 11 but for FSX and P3D. The Orbx libraries - X - Plane11 are for X Plane 11 only. FTX Central is required to install the libraries. For users of Mac and Linux operating systems, FTX Central does not yet work. The X Plane 11 products so far available as a "cross platform" download already include the required library items. In the specific case of a Mac user with only X Plane 11, the answer to the original question Quote I have not installed the Orbx freeware Libraries. Do I need to? is no.
