Turnip Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Great job and the icing on the cake is the frame rates are tolerable. I took off from YSSY and saw a 320 coming in. Banked around, got on its wing and folloowed it in. I must have freaked him out because he pitch forked it in, slamming it down on the deck.

captzoo Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks to all the Orbx team who contributed to making FTX an enjoyable edition to FSX. You guys must have the elves heping as you certainly have pumped out some quality product over the past week. I downloaded AU TRAFFIC last night and installed it this morning before work. Unfortnately I didn't have time to experience it like some of you but can't wait to get flying tonight. When pay day comes my pocket money is going straigh to YMML too. Absolutelty fantastic John V. I noticed that the AU TRAFFIC installer also dumped a short cut to an AU TRAFFIC Manual. Any plans to have it downloadable from the forum. I need something to read while at work. No problem though!

rap777 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi John and Mal! Thanks for all your hard work! Just a quick question, it seems I am missing the Qantas textures. I noticed in YMML I can see Tiger and Jetstar, but for the rest of them they are all white.....as there are no QANTAS planes around I assume they are missing textures. Is there a way I can check if I had a dodgy instal? Everything else looks just amazing! Thank you so much and I am looking forward to GREEN!

Dexter Dog Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 A Virgin in Sydney? Surely not! They told me there were none left! Qantas, Jetstar, Emerates, British Airways, I think Orbit has been replace by Orbx! (Now there's a name for a VA!) Had my first quick look around after a flawless AI install last night, and it is fantastic! Well done! And much appreciation to Orbx (and OZx) for the wonderful payware and freeware that have transformed Aus into the premium flightsim destination!

Can anybody help??? have i missed something in scenery library I have FTXAI_TRAFFIC placed above FTX_ROADS and below Mesh. Gary...Canberra fixed it...found 2 bgl files traffic.bgl traffic1.bgl....removed them then hey presto ai traffic Hi Gary, After unzipping the FTXAUTRAFFIC100 folder, I did not see any installation 'Read-me' so just let the installer do its usual routine, which is normally problem free. Not this time though. After reading the 'FTX AU TRAFFIC User Manual' that appeared on the desktop after installation, I discovered this! Installation Installation of FTX AU TRAFFIC should only take a minute or two. There’s no manual installation required, however to ensure the installer works as planned, we only ask that the default FSX global AI traffic file located in: Scenery\World\Scenery\ be renamed back to its original name of trafficAircraft.bgl The reason we ask you to do this simple step is so the installer will function correctly, and it will rename the above file to trafficAircraft.bgl.DISABLED-FOR-FTX-AI This is to allow you to use the FTX AI Control Panel (see page 3) as intended, so you can enable/disable the default global AI with just a mouse click or two. If any other AI add-ons (such as WOAI or MyTrafficX) have already renamed or disabled the above file, just rename it back to its original filename temporarily and our installer will take care of the rest. Went and had a look at the relevant file and all appeared to be OK, but on firing up FSX in YBBN, there was no AI Traffic of any kind. Right clicked on the screen, which would normally have 'Air Traffic' selection in the pop-up menu, nope 'nuffink and the disk activity LED on the rig was going berserk! So I followed the un-install instructions to get back the default FSX AI traffic (removed copious beads of sweat too) and thankfully default AI traffic returned, but my rig HDD activity LED is still going bananas! Doesn't do that when FS9 is fired up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 but my rig HDD activity LED is still going bananas! Doesn't do that when FS9 is fired up are you sure that nothing else there is running in the background ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
