Installing new airports disables previously working one

Hi all, I have all the Orbx scenery areas (thanks for these - they have really changed how I use FSX), but until recently had only a few of the airfields (and in particular KORS). I have what you call a "high-end" machine (i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz with 6GB RAM, running XP 64-bit), and have had no particular problems with frame rates unless (as you say in the manuals) i max out all the sliders, particularly in urban areas.

Motivated by this month's sale I purchased and installed a number of new airfields, mostly in PNW. Although some of these are more frame-rate intensive they work fine.

My problem is this: after installing these I have found that I always CTD when I fly to KORS, and if I try to start a flight at KORS FSX hangs and doesn't successfully load. (It gets to 75% and craps out when loading the autogen)

I have all the updates installed, and have tried many of the things suggested in the FAQ threads devoted to frame rate issues, but have not been able to get KORS to work since, so am stuck. I have also reinstalled KORS, after which I've reloaded the updates and latest libraries. I have also turned off all of the items in the KORS 1.1 control panel, but nothing helps.

Any ideas as to what the new installs might have changed that would have introduced a problem in a previously successfully running KORS?

Many thanks for any help - I particularly enjoy flying in the Orcas Island area and so miss not having this field. Cliff

Only one order number works :)

To your problem, have you cycled through FTX Central? Try setting to Default, then setting it back to NA.

If that doesn't work one thing to try and prevent CTD's is get the latest version of FSUIPC. Even the free version will help prevent CTD's and it's a nice utility to have anyways

thanks for these - i did have SP5 and latest library installed last so that is not it, and have recently got the latest FSUIC. will try the cycling in ftx central - had not thought of that and am puzzled why that should affect things. (will report back about success/failure but am out of town for a few weeks, so will take a while to reply)

Same problem here.

In my case it seems to depend on layering KORS and Vic+.

Due to an earlier mesh issue ( http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/18468-cyyj-victoria-intl-by-don-grovestine-compatibility-with-ftx-pnw/ ) my insertion point for FTX was between Vic+ higher priority and Vic+ lower priority, but after installation of PNW patch005 this does not work anymore as FSX stops loading at 75%.

My testing sofar:

FTX layered below both Vic+ ( higher AND lower priority): FSX loads correct but results in major mesh problem at KORS.

FTX layered above both Vic+ ( higher AND lower priority): FSX loads correct, KORS is correct but I miss details in Vic+ ( example at VIC2 )

Layering only FTX_AA_KORS above both Vic+ ( higher AND lower priority) seems to solve the problem. This requires to manually move FTX_AA_KORS in the scenery.cfg after applying North America via FTX Central.

Hello,

Please excuse my ignorance. What is Vic+ and where do I locate it? It would be useful if any of the rest of us encounter a similar issue, thanks.

good flights, Cal
