Doug Sawatzky Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ok, Please use the FSX Registry Utility found at this link https://www.tweakfs.com/store/free_tools.php and use the "Set Path" option and point it to your FSXSE installation.

Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Same thing, the error won't go away. PS: On the last step selecting FSX and not steam, I don't have this option. FTX is opening normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The only other thing I can think of is that it doesn't like the folder structure....is the "Programs" part of the below file path a folder you created on D: drive?

Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yes sir, Programs folder was created by me and Steam was installed there. Do you have any suggestions? If I click on continue, the config tool is opening blank. No options are selected and if I want to select a simulator from the dropdown list, I don't have any option.

Doug Sawatzky Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Have you tried running the Vector config tool directly from the D:/Programs/Steam/steamapps/common/FSX/ORBX/FTX_VECTOR folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you Doug, But I am unable to replace the files from Windows folder. It says I don't have the permision to replace them. It worked for the FSX folder though. If I am looking at the security tab for the file I want to copy, I have full control over it. I don't know, if there is no solution to this, I will probably uninstall it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hello, there must be a valid registry entry pointing to FSX. Here there is no registry entry. Here there is a registry entry for FSX This is a redundant copy of FSX Steam Edition that is not even installed, yet with its location set as FSX, the Vector tool works. You can find the tool here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hello Nick, thanks for your reply! I already have the entry for FSX in the registry. All I had to do with those files is to confirm that. After opening FTXCentral, I get this error but you said to ignore any error coming from this one. After this, I have opened the registry fix tool only to find this. My FSX steam edition was already under FSX reg. All I could do was to remove the address and point to FSX folder again. AND before trying this, I also reinstalled VECTOR, without any luck I guess.... I am attaching the Debugger log.txt and the error that I am receiving All the best, Lucian.

Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 As Doug asked, what happens if you open the Vector control panel directly from the exe file? For your problem with FTX Central, which is a separate and different one, please back up both your scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg files, then delete the remaining copies. I attach a replacement terrain.cfg file and FSX will create a new scenery.cfg file. Run it once and close it. Reinstall FTX Central using this topic: and try again. Thanks. terrain.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nick, I have no problem with my FTX Central. The error that I have posted before about this it's from opening FTX Central v2. You gave me the link to download it and execute that. See below. If I am opening Vector control panel directly from the exe file, I have the same error showing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 This is from the topic. Run FTX Central files\FTXCentral v2\FTXCentral.exe once and close it, do nothing else and ignore any error messages you might see. Is the Vector control panel now working?

Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can you show me the Vector error message again or is it just that there is no simulator in the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sure. When I am opening Victor config tool, I am receiving this.

Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I know I asked already, does this also happen if you open the file directly, as well as if you open it though FTX Central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Vasile Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 It's exactly the same error if I am opening directly or through FTX Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think the net error message is because it cannot see the simulator. Then it opens and of course there is nothing in the simulator box. I can break and fix it at will just by removing and replacing the registry entry. I can also break it by renaming FSX.exe, you have not done that I suppose? Did you verify the Vector files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 This seems to confirm that you do not have a recognisable Windows Registry entry. You can either go back to this topic and try again or try this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
