RESOLVED Ground Textures Problem, need help.

[silvera_]

I have a clean-installed FSX. Right after that install i installed my FTX Scotland. No matter what i tried, even with a new install of everything, i can't figure out what the problem is. I'm having some ground textures problem. Wierd grass, water on grass and etc etc... I've also FTX England but the same problem when i install it. Can anyone tell me what should i do about this? I'm adding screenshots below.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

For support query's please be so kind and add your ordernumber(s) to your Sig as per forum rules.

Info on how to do that you can find here => http://www.orbxsyste...ig-for-support/

[silvera_]

Ah sorry for not reading the rules. i've added it now

[Wolter van der Spoel]

do you have also installed the Service packs 1 & 2 for fsX from Microsoft or do you have Acceleration installed ?

[silvera_]

Hi Wolter, i somehow fixed the problem with FTX EU - SCOTLAND problems. They're all ok now and working. But i'm having an issue with GLOBAL. It doesn't look like my other FTX products. I'm gonna add a screenshot so you can see the difference. Yes by the way, i have Acceleration pack.

 

 

 

 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

HI

 

did you check that you have all the updates and patches for your sceneries ?

 

please have a check here at the support forums => http://fullterrain.com/support.html

 

Also try and switch back an fort between FTX Global and the regions, don't forget to hit the Apply button !

 

if that doesn't do it then please run the FTX Global installer again, that should cure the issue, also please let me know which area you are flying so I can cross check at my end and if need be post a screenie also.

[silvera_]

Thanks for the answer,

 

yes i have the updates but there're no updates/patches for global already, right?

 

I've tried switching back between FTX Global and the regions and also tried installing global again but no luck... :\

 

I'm flying around LIRF (Rome - Fiumicino) airport. N41° 50.28'   -   E12° 16.93'  coordinates.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Ciao e Grazie mille 

 

no there are no updates or patches for FTX Global to date, 

 

Did you install FTXG* as Administrator ?

 

please make sure your Anti Virus program is switched off when installing

[silvera_]

Haha 

 

Yes installed it as admin and no antivirus programs that i have. Even firewall and stuff is off.

[silvera_]

Any solutions? :/

[kesmez]

My problem looks just the same as yours, I have a  topic named "all I got is black squares". I allso use acceletration instead of sp2 does this mean something?

[silvera_]

I have trees even on buildings. I don't know whats wrong but everything's ok with my EU and Scotland packs. Got UTX also, but tried disabling it. Just can't enjoy Global now.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Hi silvera_,

 

not sure but could you please check if the registry entry for fsX is correct, there are various tools out there to check this.

 

have a look here => http://www.google.com/custom?client=pub-3794288947762788&forid=1&channel=5369970905&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BFORID%3A1&hl=en&q=fsX+registry+path

[silvera_]

Gonna try and report back Wolter

[silvera_]

Hi again, i've checked my registry entry, and everything looks correct. Any other ideas?

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Hi silvera_,

do you have Acceleration installed as well or do you have SP1+SP2 from MS installed ?

if you have Acceleration installed, then you could try and run a "repair"

1st set FTX Central to "global" untick the 3 selection boxes and hit Apply, close FTX Central.

2nd insert the Acceleration DVD and select repair, let it finish doing it's thing

3rd when finished, fire up fsX it will start rebuilding it's Dbase etc etc

4th have a little flight, just to confirm all is back to basic fsX again, close fsX

5th run the FTX Global installer to re-install FTX Global and follow the prompts on screen

6th when finished the install make sure to hit Apply in FTX Central for the region you want to use or FTX Global for that matter as well

let me know how you fare

[silvera_]

Yeah i got Acceleration.

 

Tried repairing with Acceleration with the things you said, but i didn't return back to basic FSX. So i'm trying to repair FSX now, not Acceleration. Should i?

[silvera_]

Are these textures correct as basic FSX? 

 

 

 

 

 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

no no, do not try with the basic fsX disc that really would screw things up

as for the screenshots as long as I do not know where they are taken I can't confirm, please state coordinates heading and Altitude so I can verify this

[silvera_]

Ah sorry, I'm flying around LIRF (Rome - Fiumicino) airport again. 

 

Gonna edit the screenshots in a minute and state the coordinates etc.

[silvera_]

Wolter, the coordinates are ; 

 

Latitude : N41° 49.18'

 

Longitude : E12° 16.77'

 

Altitude : +809

 

Heading : 28 

 

Airport is LIRF.

 

I've edited the screenshots above by the way.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

OK, I have ran some test and here are the results

fsX+Acceleration

fsX+Acceleration+FTXGlobal

fsX+Acceleration+FTXGlobal+Italy regionspack(freeware)

fsX+Acceleration+FTXGlobal+Italy LandClass_2013 (freeware)

you can see the differences of the various combinations

[silvera_]

Well, mine looks so different..   I've tried to repair with Accel. pack but it's still the same. Think i should remove everything and start all over again?

[Wolter van der Spoel]

after the repair did you run the FTXG* installer again ?

[silvera_]

Yes, i did as administrator again also. Then i activated global, tried flying again but it was like global never installed. Tried with hybrid off etc etc.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

well this has me beaten, dont know what else to think of as a start from scratch ............. really sorry about this 

[silvera_]

So i think i'm gonna try reinstalling everything. Can you just tell me what order should i use for installation?

 

I have FSX + Accel + FTX Global - EU - SCOTLAND - OCEANIA + UTX + Scenery Tech Terrain Mesh + REX.

 

Do i have to do something special to get them work this time? :/

 

Thanks for your efforts to help anyway. 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

rgr,

clean slate install:

make sure all traces of fsX are deleted, registry programs folders etc etc

reboot the PC

install fsX+Acceleration, test before installing anything else

install ST mesh, test before installing anything else

install UTX, test before installing anything else

install REX, text before installing anything else

install the FTX products + FTX updates that where released BEFORE FTX Global, again test, check everything before the next one

install FTX Global

have a read here => http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/62985-land-water-issues-in-ftx-global/?p=574958

that should about cover it

[silvera_]

I even have a clean install of my OS now. I'm gonna try this order and feed back tomorrow, hopefully things go nice. Thanks again!

[spirit_66]

I recommend NOT to install FSX in the standard windows program folder. The best would be an extra partion but at least do it like C:/FSX.

Spirit

[silvera_]

Okay, thanks i'm installing it on my D drive. I'm going to try this way.

[silvera_]

Hi Wolter, i've used your installation order and on 5th. step this is what i got in EGFF airport with FTX ;

 

 

 

When i set FTX Central to Default, it's like this ;

 

 

 

 

I did nothing wrong this time... :S

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Hi there

I have informed the Dev's for ENG and SCO to have a look and hope they gave a viable solution for your issue.

[Paul Webster]

Hi,

 

That looks like a corrupt terrain.cfg to me, simple to fix.

 

1. set FTX Central to Default and close it

2. rename your current terrain.cfg to terrain.bak (located in the root fsx folder)

3. copy the terrain.cfg from "\ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral\Work\" and place in your root fsx folder

4. set FTX Central to Europe and close it

5. run the UTX repair option to re-add there entries

6. test and report back

 

Paul

[silvera_]

Hi Paul, i've tried it but nothing changed. 

[Paul Webster]

ok, can you open your terrain.cfg in notepad, select all and copy and paste it here

 

Paul

[silvera_]

I can't paste it here Paul. I think forum doesn't allow the text size cause it's too big. I uploaded it ;

 

http://www.speedyshare.com/x6N3q/terrain.cfg

[Paul Webster]

sent you a PM.

can you list what you have installed of orbx so far and the order you did it so i can see if i can reproduce it.

Paul

[silvera_]

Walter, hi, do you think this is right for Edinburgh airport? 

 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Hi there

looks pretty much like what I have here
