piperarrow4 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ok, so if there isn't going to be a fix for the black squares for DX10 users and FTX doesn't not include an uninstall utility for their product, is it safe to just reinstall GEX over my current installation of FTX Global? GEX should just overright the texture files with their own right? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonchie Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 That'd be pretty pointless. You realize GEX has no night lighting at all right? You aren't gaining or fixing anything going back to it. Just go rename the lighting file (instructions are on this forum, it takes 10 seconds) to disable the lighting and the black boxes will go away. Then you can use FTXG just like you did GEX, with UTX night lighting or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically I was wondering if we reinstalled GEX textures over the top and still had FTX Centrall in hybrid mode would this still allow inter region flying? Would this still cure the out of ORBX graphical anomalies too? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperarrow4 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have edited the FTX lights file per the instruction noted in the other thread and it works great during the day to get rid of the black squares. However, I now have no ground based lighting at night, even with the UTX lights enabled. So then what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be leery that copying over Global with GEX isn't going to fix this problem, whatever may of caused it. Best to seek out an answer first for that specific issue before re-installing anything.

piperarrow4 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 My order number is FSS0225332 Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi John, thanks for posting the order number. An auto-uninstaller for FTX Global is in final testing. GEX textures are not compatible with the FTXG setup (base or hybrid modes) an thus installing GEX on top of FTXG will most likely "break" FSX. The UTX night lights work with FTXG; check that you have them active in the UTX setup panel as well as in the scenery library menu.
