Nico Soenen Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Would anybody have an idea on when we could recon to buy and use Orbx Sceneries on iMac’s with iOS for X-Plane 11 ? thanks in advance for a rough estimation, kind regards, Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 You can use Orbx products for Mac on MacOS X now. We don't have any plans to support iOS however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Soenen Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 OK, thanks for info,...... based on that, I Purchased Great Britain South (with a confirmation of transaction ID) As instructed, I tried to download FTX Central, which is not working on a Mac i presume !!!! the downloaded “ftxcentral3_installer.exe” will obviously not open nor run on a Mac. Appreciating instructions on how to get the scenery installed and run for what I paid, would be helpful awaiting feedback with much interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wroblewski Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If you log in to your ORBX account on orbxdirect.com and go to the purchases page for GB South, you'll find a standalone download link at the bottom to install on Mac OS X. At the moment this is done by hand until the Central application is updated to run on Mac OS X as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Soenen Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 After downloading, having read the instructions, I put the 3 Orbx files into the custom scenery, and started up mac_1_conversion. the instructions do mention “note that this process will take some time”, which I can understand, However, this mentioned “some time” is now already running for approx. 4 hours....... is this normal ?? hereby an extract of the beginning of the conversion: ” Last login: Mon Jun 3 07:20:41 on console /Users/imac\ 1/Desktop/X-Plane\ 11/Custom\ Scenery/Orbx_C_GB_South_TrueEarth_Orthos/_mac_1_conversion ; exit; iMac27-Nico-2:~ imacpro$ /Users/imac\ 1/Desktop/X-Plane\ 11/Custom\ Scenery/Orbx_C_GB_South_TrueEarth_Orthos/_mac_1_conversion ; exit; Orbx Ortho Conversion starting Converting textures/a6c0x10000x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 18.846 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10010x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 19.848 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10020x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 17.580 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10030x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 10.987 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10040x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 3.839 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10050x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 3.508 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x100e0x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 3.759 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x100f0x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED time taken: 3.476 seconds Converting textures/a6c0x10100x17.JPG NVIDIA Texture Tools 2.1.0 - Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2007 CUDA acceleration DISABLED ..........” and is still busy. continue to be patient ?

Nico Soenen Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 I did stop the program after about 8 hours of running the mac converse program, run the converse program 2, finished immediately,...... and as expected got error message when launching X-Plane 11 So I had to remove the Sceneries again, in order to get my planes back in the air again, so far for me unfortunately a big disappointment since your product looks really nice what did I do wrong ? I’m having a Mac Pro from only 1 year old, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Soenen Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 OK, Taking the Orbx files out from Custom Scenery allowed me to fly again and verified the program is still OK It’s no 8 PM over here, and will let run the converse program again overnight curious what I will see tomorrow morning,.......

Nico Soenen Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Good morning, woke up this morning with a successful ending of the conversion program, Me happy, .........:) thank you all for your kind assistance and mutual patience, by the way, any idea when Belgium would be available as your scenery ? kind regards and have a nice day, Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado16 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hi Nico Just be aware that if you purchase GB North, it has even more files to convert that South so expect an even longer wait! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
