Gurdy Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Team While I was tweaking FSX for the best FPS in YMML I decided to try the difference usng native mode. When I found not a lot of difference I decided to go back to Poly mode and tweak there some more. But when I tried to toggle back I got this error. I thought wbout uninstalling YMML and reinstalling it, but I could not find an uninstaller... any suggestions??? Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 We'll investigate it for you. We tested the CP across 4 different OS versions and it came up clean. Either way, a re-install may not necessarily solve any background issues which may be causing this. I'll ask Adrian who coded the app to look into this for you asap.

Gurdy Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks John. As an update, i re-ran the installer and that didnt fix it. It still remains ticked and will not allow me to untick the box. But what I have noticed it appear that althought the FSX native is ticked in the CP, I now appear to have have Poly textures again (probably from the re-running the installer?) Unless they are the REX textures.... Cheers Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Lehmann (FSS) Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi Gurdy, Definitely not running FSX while you're trying to make the CP changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurdy Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Adrian Yea, shut down FSX before running the CP. It worked the first time when I enabled the Native FSX, but then could not disable it. Thats when I got the error. Is there a way to uninstall it? Or a registry entry I could remove and then re-run the installer?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Here's an interim solution to activate FSX Native Mode manually without using the CP. Navigate to the ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_YMML\Scenery folder in your FSX folder [glow=red,2,300]To Activate FSX Native Mode[/glow] 1. Rename these files so they have an .OFF extension, but keep the .bgl included in the filename: ORBX_YMML_APX_GMAX.bgl.OFF YMML_GroundPoly.bgl.OFF 2. Rename these files so they have their normal .bgl extension: ORBX_YMML_Aero_Exclusion.bgl ORBX_YMML_APX_NATIVE.bgl Now you are in FSX Native Mode. [glow=green,2,300]To go back to Gmax Poly Mode[/glow] 1. Rename these files so they have their normal .bgl extension: ORBX_YMML_APX_GMAX.bgl YMML_GroundPoly.bgl 3. Rename these files so they have a .OFF extension, but keep the .bgl included in the filename: ORBX_YMML_Aero_Exclusion.bgl.OFF ORBX_YMML_APX_NATIVE.bgl.OFF Now you are in Gmax Poly Mode.

Gurdy Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 John et el I had a look at the directory and the settings outlined above I found I had this situation: ORBX_YMML_APX_GMAX.bgl.OFF YMML_GroundPoly.bgl ORBX_YMML_Aero_Exclusion.bgl ORBX_YMML_Aero_Exclusion.bgl.OFF ORBX_YMML_APX_NATIVE.bgl ORBX_YMML_APX_NATIVE.bgl.OFF As my CP still showed FSX native mode enabled I deleted the duplicate files and adjusted the files to FSX native mode enabled settings. Once I had done this I was able to switch back and forward via the CP as I pleased. Thanks for assistance. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Kewl! A nice outcome then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurdy Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yep it was and I think I will stick to the poly's. FSX native doesnt really give me that much extra in the way of FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
