No, Orbx Central replaces FTX Central. On 8/3/2019 at 3:30 PM, carlosqr said: 02.- Or should I install FTX Central and then uninstall Orbx Central? FTX Central 3 will corrupt ObjectFlow and cause issues with products installed via Orbx Central. You can leave both installed, but issues will occur. On 8/3/2019 at 3:30 PM, carlosqr said: 03.- Would FTX Central moved back all files migrated ? No, FTX Central only understands products installed the traditional way (into P3D/ORBX). On 8/3/2019 at 3:30 PM, carlosqr said: 04.- If none of the above then do I have to install all again? You don't need to install your products again unless you want them in P3D/ORBX and working how they've traditionally worked.

FTX Central 3 will be phased out and have its support end in the future. It will be completely replaced by Orbx Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avance Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hello, Can we install the new ORBXCentral "over" the existing FTXCentral 3.3.9.2 installation or do we need to uninstall something before this new installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyHardiQ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 it told me to uninstall ftx central 3 so i clicked yes, thats fine right? and also I dont seem to see object flow anywhere now..the addon.xml is present in p3d addons but the path is not there which leads to objectflow..there are no such folders..so should i delete objectflow addons xml ?

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 IMHO it is NOT so smart to uninstall FTX Central yet as the following add-ons can NOT be migrated into ORBX Central.

FlyHardiQ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Well then why did orbx add a pop up which came up after i installed orbx central stating that i need to uninstall ftx central to avoid conflicts..anyone would click "yes" and let it uninstall ftx central imo..also I am able to use global lights config..the rest of mentioned addons I dont use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRx Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm gonna hold off updating until this stuff get figured out. I'd be mad if some of the airport I paid for don't migrate over. Also, Perhaps Orbx can make up a tutorial on installation and what is expected to happen with the new Central would help some anxiety.

JS41Flyer Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Clarity needed please. No where, including the manual, does it specify if FTX Central will automatically update to the new version. No where (that I can find) does it state what the install or uninstall first option should be ...do I uninstall?....maybe its just me, if so apologies, I must of missed the instructions somewhere, but I am not sure how to proceed. Some guidance would be appreciated. Thank you Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hello, FTX Central will not update to Orbx Central. Orbx Central is not an update but a completely new version, that's why it has a new name. When you start Orbx Central, it will ask you if you wish to uninstall FTX Central. It will continue to ask you every time that you open it. The choice is yours but you cannot use them both together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssimm1958 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 wow this is to much grief I'm reading I'm sticking with ftx central till orbx puts in solid install instructions into the orbx central user guide they put up because I too read it from top to bottom, saw nothing about proper instructions or guide lines to follow to get in and not mess up your massive investment of scenery we have bought from them, so its not going in till I absolutely have to do it, hopefully all these issues am reading about will be worked out, kinda thinking orbx jumped the gun on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijaz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Seems like there is a fair amount of mucking around from some to get this product to work. So am i reading right that YBBN doesnt work with the new orbx Central ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Way too many unexplained imponderables at the moment for me to proceed. One obvious one is If FTX Central and Orbx Central cannot co-exist ..... why would you NOT want to uninstall FTX Central prior to installing Orbx Central. Certainly precise instructions on how to proceed are required, or the forums will be flooded with support requests from people who have managed to screw up their installations. It certainly does not need much of a wrong step to get things out of whack. Can one who has a hybrid setup of inside and outside installations simply uninstall FTX Central, install Orbx Central, continue flying as usual and slowly move things outside as time permits to end up with a nice ordered setup with all addons outside. I am a tad confused, as it seems are others. This all looks good, but the path to final bliss appears a bit rocky. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hi I think the most important thing to mention here, is that Orbx Central is not ready yet. It is in Beta (TESTING) phase, so t is up to us if we move to it or not at this stage. But I think the best thing to do is to wait until is it proved it works to perfection I took the decision to go for it, but in my case I had a lot of issues for which I decided to install again FTX Central. I spent Saturday, Sunday and today installing all again, just about to finish. Left the big ones for the last: So Orbx is not forcing us to go for Orbx Central as this stage, it is up to us if we go for it or not. When it is officially ready we would have to move to it in time. Though the application is great, friendly and looks really nice. I think I suffered the issues because they are working on it, changing, updating and improving, and as I flight so much I think I suffered the issues, for example this is my Narvik at some stage with Orbx Central This made me go back as I am not patient and get irritated very easily So my advice is to hold until it is officially announced as ready to go. Orbx has been cleared in saying it is at Beta phase. Cheers to all Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hello Mitchell Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it but I still have a doubt You said: FTX Central 3 will corrupt ObjectFlow and cause issues with products installed via Orbx Central. You can leave both installed, but issues will occur. I installed everything back, spent three days doing so, as my intention is to continue using FTX Central until the last moment allowed. I am thinking in deleting the folder created by Orbx Central, totally, this would leave my sim only with FTX Central and its files right in the root of my sim and I believe P3D will simply create a new scenery.cfg file with the data from FTX Central when I run it. Am I right in thinking and doing so? Of course I will set FTX Central as before with the Object flow, insertion points etc. I am planning to delete the folder created by Orbx Central before launching P3D for it to erase everything that was added by this method, close it and then run FTX Central and then P3D Would this be Ok? Based on your reply in #4 I think I'm doing it the right way but just want to be totally sure as this is driving me crazy and don't want to mess it up more, pls.

Mitchell Williamson Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 HI Carlos, If you only install products with FTX Central 3 and remove things installed with Orbx Central, then it should work as it always did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
