Holger Sandmann Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi there, please look here about uploading screenshots: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/38447-how-to-post-a-screenshot-on-the-orbx-forums/ Regardless, Mount Hood is very much visible from Portland in PNW and looks quite stunning, especially when illuminated at sunset. Obviously, whether you see the mountain or not depends on cloud cover and atmospheric visibility. From my house I have a direct view of Mount Baker, about 70 miles due east, a similar situation as Portland and Mount Hood. However, weather prevents me from seeing it most days.

Holger Sandmann Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Chas, the most obvious thing that seems to be missing from your screenshot is PNW! Assuming that the installation is OK then one or more of those 20+ entries above the FTX block must be excluding the FTX components because that sand-colored area is definitely not ours. Also, it looks like you're suffering from a bad case of the "blurries". The PNW manual includes some tips for suitable display settings depending on your type of PC/laptop. As for the missing mountain it looks like your current weather has a visibility limit of <60 miles or so, which would prevent Mt. Hood from displaying. As you can see in Dave's screenshot, it's definitely there and should, in fact, even be visible in default FSX provided you have long-distance visibility, for example by clearing all weather.

Cheers, Holger hey Holger, thanks for the speedy reply! As you can see, all the UTX files are on top, meaning to me they take priority. Do i understand yo to say that i must disable the entire United States infra-structure afforded by UTX, just to run Orbx PNW properly? Also, can you identify the cause of the caution message below?

Holger Sandmann Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Chas, as for UTX compatibility and placement in the scenery library menu please see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/17121-ultimate-terrain-x-usacanada-and-ultimate-alaska-x-compatibility-with-ftx-pnw-pfj-and-nrm/ I'm not very familiar with P3D (we have a separate support subforum for it) but the message indicates that you're running an outdated version of P3D; please make sure you've installed the latest update for it. My version of is Prepar3D.exe reads "1.2.3253.0" (right-click on the .exe then select Properties and the Details tab) and I'm not even sure that is the latest update.
