borisvp Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Good day, I'd like to buy TEGB with the current bundle offer, but can I install it with FTX Central? I had massive failures with ORBX Central during a new installation of my simulator, and went back to FTXC, which works fine and also shows the 3 TEGB parts. As nobody could tell the reasons for these failures, I will not install ORBX Central now and risk a good working sim, that's why.

Liffy55 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hello, I have spent many weeks re-installing Prepar3D and multiple scenery addons after very bad experience with Orbx Central too. I too went back to FTXC which runs with no problems and also will also not install Orbx Central unless I am sure I wont run into the same headaches again!

borisvp Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 So, do you happen to have TEGB installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, no, you cannot. If you use Orbx Central to install the TEGB products and do nothing else, it will behave in exactly the same way as FTX Central did. If you tick the legacy box on the Insertion Point page and of course set the Insertion Point correctly, it will also arrange your scenery in exactly the same way.

borisvp Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 So, can I use FTX Central and ORBX Central (for TEGB) in parallel to see how it works? And switch to ORBX Central step by step, without altering anything in my sim? In my initial install, ORBX Central did something with my terrain (or whatever) configuration, which you can see in the screenshots in the other thread. I don't know what that was, but I don't want that to happen again. I'm really afraid to blow up my sim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if you feel talented enough and not afraid to blow up your sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisvp Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Well, I finally was bold enough to switch to ORBX Central (and threw more money at ORBX ), and - phew - no major issues so far. I've set it up now to "legacy layering" and manually sort the scenery layering with SimStarter. With the normal layering method, there were some issues with some of my addon airports (I haven't checked all of them yet, though). One thing to notice here: I find it a bit unfortunate that I could not prevent Central from rearranging my scenery.cfg and all scenery add-on.cfg files during intial installation. After that, all layers in the add-on.cfg files had been changed and I had to revert this one by one when going back to legacy layering. I hope Central doesn't touch my add-on.cfg files again without asking. But all in all, the tool is installed now and my simulator looks and runs as before.
