resolved Installed ORBX products do not appear in scenery libraray

[Pinkoo Bose]

Hi Gentleman,

 

I am a bit confused about installing ORBX products - I use FTX Central 3.

 

So far I have installed vector, global base, open LC Europe and N America

 

and the regions N and S Germany, England and wales.

 

I have TE-SE as well which I have not yet bothered to try 

 

However I do not see any of these except vector in the scenery library when I open P3D...

 

I am downloading and installing directly from FTX and I assumed it would have the pathway to install the sceneries.

 

With other non- ORBX products previously,  I have been asked for the the pathway to browse to - but this different somehow. 

 

I accept it must be something I am doing doing wrong (or not doing) and would appreciate some guidance.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

I am not a very experienced user so require a bit of patience please..can someone please give me a step by step instruction to follow please

 

Thanks

Have you also installed the Libraries? If not, you need to do so....................Doug

Hi

 

Please install the Orbx Libraries, they are located in FTX Central 3 as shown in the example image circled in red below.

Hi Doug

 

Thank you for getting back to me.

 

No I have not as I did not bother as none of the sceneries were showing up...

 

I still have TS-GBS to install, and I presume this needs to be done before the Libraries go on?

 

I understood this was the last thing to be installed after all the files were installed...

 

Please advise...

Hello,

the advice that the libraries need to be installed last is many years out of date.

Unless you install the libraries, the products do not work, as you have found.

Please install them next.

Thank you Nick,

 

I am sorry I have never used ORBX products yet.

 

Out of interest, does it not matter any more when the libraries are installed?

 

Thanks

All you need to do is use FTX Central to install them.

You will see a notification at the lower left of the FTX Central window.

Click on that and select install product.

FTX Central will do the rest for you.

Ok Thank you Nick...

 

So it just means you can install the libraries at any time?

 

Pinks

[Nick Cooper]

Yes but if you want to see any of your products working, then now would be a good time.

[Pinkoo Bose]

Thank you Nick!

 

Thank you for your patience

 

I will of course get in touch should encounter any problems.

Thank you so much Nick and Doug!
