NOSTEP Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Operating system: Windows 10 (v1803) Simulator: X-Plane 11.35, Prepar3d v4 Screenshot: Issue: Attempting to download and install FTX Central v3. Click 'download & install' appears to work and the app appears as shown in the 2nd screen shot. Only option is to close. I have both X-Plane (via Steam) and Prepar3d installed on a second HDD on the computer. I checked the 'X-Plane_install_11.txt' as noted in the user guide - the file is present and correctly points to the installation. After the app quits, I can find no trace of ORBX on the system - there is no central.log file or 'Orbx' folder under APPDATA. I usually log in on a standard user account, I also tried this on the machine admin account but with no difference. Hope you can help - I purchased TrueEarth Great Britain Central and would very much like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben McClintock Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi NOSTEP, Please try using Orbx Central (just released). You can find it here: orbx.to/central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSTEP Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi Ben, Thanks for the very prompt reply. Part way … Orbx central installed okay and found my Prepar3D installation. But - still It doesn't see the X-Plane installation and doesn't list it. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh Koz Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hi, Can you confirm if this file exists at the following path? %LOCALAPPDATA%\.x-plane_install_11.txt When X-Plane is installed this file is created for the user the installed X-Plane. Central will look at this file in order to detect your X-Plane installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSTEP Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi Josh, Uninstalled & reinstalled X-Plane and Central does find the sim now. I have several people use the computer - I think the file was in the folder for the wrong user profile. I should have spotted that. All now OK. Thanks for your help.

NOSTEP Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 … And thanks to the team … Just flew over an area of North East England I know well from the ground and the air … this scenery is simply unbelievable.

Nick Cooper Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello, to help with a diagnosis of this problem, please open Orbx Central\Settings\Help and the Log. Then select all of its contents and delete them. Save the now empty log. Close Orbx Central and then open it again. Once you have done that, please open the log again, save a copy of it and attach that saved copy to your next posts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willguy1 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have the same problem after reinstalling MSFS and P3Dv4. It only detects MSFS, and not p3d, and I can't figure out what to do. I did what was suggested above: Orbx.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hello, there is a bit too little in that log to detect anything. Can you try again, using that same log please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hello, is that the entire log? Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling Orbx Central please? You version seems to be very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
