The FTX central switch

[JohnB777]

As Ä° don't own GEX, can Ä° fly around the world while leaving the FTX central on all the time instead of having to turn it off? Or would there be significant errors?

I'm new and I don't know where I should've posted this. If there's a FTX central switch forum.z

Hi JohnB777,

Leaving FTX Central on a region, Oceania, or North America will not cause any harm, only thing you'll notice is a different style of houses and different trees in comparison to default fsX

[JohnB777]

Will the houses look normal or error-like. As I saw an error with odd roofs that happened to a GEX user. Even though I won't use GEX. Basically will it look normal.

[JohnB777]

I was also wondering if I can leave on MULTIPLE ORBX FTX central switches on at one time as I will probably buy a lot of ORBX add-ons.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

if you have set FTX Central to as example Oceania then all houses will look like particular Aussie /New Zealand houses, strange rooftextures appear when people don't follow the proper install procedures with other vendor products.

there should only be one FTXCentral as that sets the region, multiple versions of it won't cut wood in any form or way as all scenery control is integrated in FTXCentral, hence there can be only one

[JohnB777]

Ok

Actually fellas, I have found an anomoly with FTX Central, and it relates to Earth Sumulations Guernsey. Unless I switch FTX Central to default before starting ES Guernsey, then I lose 80% of my autogen!

[JohnB777]

So there is only one FTX switch and I can keep it on all the time even with for example, FTX Australia and NA Gold Central Rocky Mountains add-ons even while having no significant errors?

Also, where would I find the FTX central switch, would it be on a program on my desktop that comes up when I install it. Just like the Captain sim products ACE program where you can edit and change settings of the add-on (For example set one aircraft to not have or have winglets) outside of FSX

I don't have ES Guernesy, so that won't effect as said in previous post.

If your flying in Oz or NZ then have Oceana active. If your flying in North America then have that active in FTX Central. I you do not do this then houses trees etc. will be incorrect. If your flying in the rest of the world IE non-ORBX/FTX scenery areas then it is up to you what you have set in FTX Central but be aware that anything other than Default will result in ORBX scenery objects showing as noted by Wolter's post above.

Seems strange that you want to avoid the 30 seconds it takes to switch FTX Central before using FSX so that scenery objects appear as they should.

[JohnB777]

Well when I fly from for example New York to Brisbane I can't exit in the middle of the flight and switch the FSX default to ON and resume flying. So that's why I want to leave it all on.

Actually John, one way to do this is to save your flight in mid-route, then use Central to change to the next area you want to load in, then reload the flight you saved. It does work!
