RESOLVED How can I install FTX AU if I already have Global and America?

[toby23]

I have installed all of the PNW sceneries excluding SAK.

I have FTX Global installed.

 

FTX Central shows FTX Global and North America.

 

How do I install all of FTX AU on top of this?

I have the SP3 Installers plus the SP4002 patch.

 

Thanks.

Hallo toby23

set FTX Central to Global

untick the checkboxes for trees, Hybrid mode and 3D lights and hit apply, close FTX Central

install AU and all it's patches

then install the latest ORBXLIBS 130723 from the support page => http://fullterrain.com/support.html

toi toi toi

1. ORIGINAL POST

---------------------

 

The install went ok but every time I start up FTX Central, I get the error - Terrain.cfg has no (LandClasses) section

Everything was working fine before I installed AU +SP4 + Libs.

 

 

2. EDIT

----------

FSX won't start.... 

It spits out a wbemprox.dll error and crashes.

Everything was working fine before I installed FTX AU.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Here's the error text I now get after manually uninstalling AU region based on the guide here.

UPDATE

 

- I've uninstalled all of my ORBX products based on the guide here and FSX still won't start.

[toby23]

I've uninstalled FSX as nothing I tried worked...

It took all week to install FSX and all my add-ons and five minutes to ruin it all.

Toby,

 

I'm really surprised with this, normally this should work without any issues

 

not sure what went wrong or where, normally things should look like this:

 

fsX install with SP1+SP2 or Acceleration is the bases, 

 

for FTX sceneries in fsX it must be patched up to SP2 or Acceleration to work properly

 

so in a nuttshell:

 

you installed FTX Global  and all was fine and working

 

you then installed the AU package + updates, did you start fsX after this ?

 

as I mentioned you then ran the ORBXLIBS 130723 files

 

and everything went amiss, that's very strange to say the least and I feel your frustration as it also frustrates me

 

if you right-click the fsX.exe in your main fsX folder and select properties, then the "Compatibility" tab and tick the check box "run this program as an administrator"

 

Also if you got and select your fsX main folder right-click and select properties, then un-check the "read only" tick box

 

in case you have the Acceleration pack, then please set FTX Central to "default= FTX Global" untick all checkboxes and hit Apply, close FTX Central

 

insert the Acceleration disk and select repair, that should bring your fsX install back to the status when Acceleration was installed, mind you all your addons still will be there they only need re-activation, as for FTX a

 

simple switch via FTX Central tothe region of your choice and it should work again.

 

in case you have time we can have a chat on skype to make it easier to resolve this frustrating issue, my skype addy = ph-wvds

Hi Toby,

Question on your install process. Was hybrid mode activated when you installed AU? We may need to write up a procedure for older products like AU. I'll ping the team for some more input

[toby23]

Thanks for your support guys but no joy.

I know my way around my machine and my FSX install but AU SP3 messed it up.

It messed up the terrain.cfg and it changed the permissions of fsx.exe (was admin before).

I know what I'll be doing the next few days....

Reinstalling...

I'll install AU first this time round... I feel that it's an incompatibility problem with the older install files and the newer global cfg... who knows, just my gut feeling.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

Thank you for your support Toby,

 

The Team is working frantically to adapt all installers to the latest version, that takes a bit of time, must admit I have all FTX packages installed and even a few more Betas, but have not suffered this kind issues, I hope this time round it will work out for you and if you make any discovery please feel free to let us know what you encountered so we can help others as well if need be

[toby23]

I reinstalled everything and restarted FSX after every region install and it is all working ok now.
