Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hello, I recently did a complete reinstall of FSX, and reinstalled all my Orbx products, and at the end the FTX Day/Night switcher with FTX central set to 'NA'. Before I did the reinstall, the switcher worked, but now it doesn't, no matter if I put it on 'Day' or 'Night', the lights just won't go away! Any help? Thanks! BTW, I am very much enjoying my new copy of PNW and FTX Tamworth, thanks for those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi, To remove the lights you set it to 'Day' Which lights are not turning off? the Day/Night thing only switches the autogen lightpoles off, so any custom lightpoles at airports will remain If its still an issue: post up a picture of the lights that are not turning off, and if possible the date stamp of FSX\Scenery\Global\scenery/Miscelleneous_lib_orbx.bgl while FTX Day/Night is set to 'Day' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I do set it to day, but the autogen lights nevertheless remain. None of the lights are going off on 'Day mode'. I have no idea what went wrong EDIT: Errrmm, ok so I searched for the file that you mentioned above in scenery/world/scenery and it is nowhere to be seen! If it would help, I didn't reinstall Orbx libs after installing FTX Day/Night. Would that be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Make sure you are looking in the right place, its: FSX\Scenery\Global\scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Oh oopps, hehe. Silly me. Here it is, found it. The timestamp is Accessed 13 October 2011. And it was modified in 2009? And not only that, it says that it was created in 2010! Either something is not right or my computer time is completely messed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Run the Day/Night installer again, make sure to run the installer 'as admin', and try setting to 'Day' again and see if the file changes, it should say it was modified/created in Oct 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ok then, but should I uninstall the Day/Night files first? And should I set it back to night again (not like It'll make a difference ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You can simply run it again, it does not matter where you had it set before, I just tested at my end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ok, ran as admin, and set to day, but the timestamp remains the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So it does not change even if you watch it while you switch between Day and Night? Perhaps you are running some sort of Antivirus that is preventing the swap, or have 'User Access Control' turned on? and where is your FSX installed, the default location (x86 program files) or in another folder?

Misha Cajic Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I do have UAC on, but when I installed Day/night on my old FSX installation, I had no problems. And no, I just tested it, it does not change even while I'm watching it? All I have is Microsoft Security Essentials, never had any problems with it, and it does the job properly. And yep, I have it at the default path of x86 program files. EDIT: I just checked, and I think I've worked out what the culprit is! On my old FSX installation, I had full privelages over the FSX folder. But now it looks like I have very limited privelages! I will change it to full privelages and report back. RE-EDIT: HAHA!!!! IT WORKED!!! THE TIMESTAMP HAS CHANGED! You can certainly mark this as resolved Thanks a lot for your help Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
