jpreou Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Vanilla FSX install, no other add-ons except hardware FTX Global install (sweeeeeet!) FTX NZNI installed ok (though haven't actually loaded it) FTX NZSI installed ok (again, didn't actually load FSX) Installed NZSI Service Pack 2 FTX Central attempted to open at the end of the install but stopped responding. Killed it, and re-opened from desktop icon 'As Administrator' Took a while, but eventually opened. Issue: Noticed version number during splash screen as FTX Central Version 1.0 Build 1029 October 2012I have the following icons: Default, Oceania, FTX Global, FTX Global (not sure why I have two for global)When selecting FTX Global (either one) there is no longer any hybrid mode no longer available or vector lights selection Advice please.

Ed Correia Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You will need to reinstall global to revert back to the new FTX Central. We will be introducing a new Orbxlibs Core installer which is a small download and it contains up to date program files for FTX Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Awww, nuts, I was hoping there would be some other way. I'd best get all the other ORBX stuff re-installed first then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Another quickie; does this mean that in coming months when I get other regions (England, Wales, Scotland and others) that I will have to be constantly re-installing Global to fix the broken Central? At least until that core installer comes out? (feature request; core installer and libraries auto-update tool please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi Jeff, as Ed already mentioned a new FTX Library files is underway to correct this, give it a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 We are acutely aware any changes to FTX Central makes all our previous installers 'break' things as it were, so Ed is going to update *all* our FTX region installers, airport installers and of course Orbxlibs so they we minimise disruption. Please bear with us during this transition period while we do this. Once that process is finished, FSS customers can re-download any or all of their installers to have the latest builds, or choose to just install the latest Orbxlibs or the new Orbx Core installer to patch older products.

European Mountain Man Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi I have the same problem I did a fresh install of fsx and started from scratch installed FTXG and what a change to the default scenery wow . And after doing a flight with the new ftxg I decided to put all my other orbx scenery on . Put ftx aublue Australia on finished installing and a new ftx central replaced the one from ftxg and now I have DEFAULT FSX , AUSRALIA ,FTX GLOBAL , FTX GLOBAL in my ftx central . I will remove ftx Global and Australia and start again and put all the other orbx areas on first and then install ftx global last . I think there will be a few that have the same problem because I have seen a few people on the forum have done the same as me started from scratch with fsx with out any ftx areas on fsx .

IRIS - David Brice Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Ah thanks for that guys... I too had two FSX Global icon's and my FSX CTD'd with no error after rebuilding the indexes. I'll reinstall Global again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRIS - David Brice Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Oooo, now I'm getting 'Terrain.cfg contains no [Landclass] entries' error, even after installing FTX Global again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRIS - David Brice Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Further to my previous issue, it now appears I no longer have a default button in FTX Central.. I have Australia, I have FTX Global and that's it. I'm now biting the bullet and uninstalling FSX and the FTX software and starting again. Ah well... not to worry, system could do with a clean.

John Venema Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Sorry to hear that David, but I did the same thing mate; wiped FSX off and started over. Nothing like a housecleaning to get rid of the crap that accumulates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thanks Guys, I intend to simply pursue my current course of re-installing AUS and airports and then dropping Global back over the top, hoping that in a short while a new Central / core / libs will get released to fix Central. No problem. Global certainly made a difference to vanilla FSX New Zealand, but even so is still not a patch on the full FTX regions. I did another post last night showing the difference on the same screens and today some time will try to add the same FTX region screens (NZNI / NZSI / Milford Sound) showing the ORBX evolution from vanilla - global - region - airport. Thanks again, eagerly await the fix, but I can tell you I certainly don't want to be re-downloading all the region / airport packages, copying to archive, burning to DVD, etc, etc. A post-fix would be best, if possible.

jpreou Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Guys, just letting you know that I downloaded and installed the newly released ORBX libraries and core files version 130723 and FTX Central is now fixed. I haven't yet run FSX to determine that everything else is ok, but I will open a separate thread if I find any issues. Thanks for the fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
