Salty57 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I just bought and downloaded FTX Global to get some better scenery for Northern Utah than default FSX. Flew from Ogden Hinckley down along the Wasatch Front and all the airports along the front had buildings and ground objects, until I came to SLC International Airport and most objects are missing. I only have the jetways and some aircraft parked next to the jetways. No terminals, no tower, no maintenance hangars. Totally empty. Anybody experience missing objects after loading FTX Global and if so does anyone have a solution. FTX Global is a nice change from the default textures. Just want to have SLC back!

Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 please make sure you have all updates and patches for your installed FTX Titles, they are available here => http://fullterrain.com/support.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty57 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Wolter, I took your advise and checked all my other FTX regions and airports, (PNW, NRM, CRM, England & Wales, Global, plus airports (all NA)) to make sure that they were all up to date with current patches. I ended up updating England and Wales and then I installed the latest Libraries update. Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem. I still have no building objects at SLC International airport, just jetways and some aircraft. No terminal, maintenance buildings or tower. I'm stumped what to do? I'm sure that I had these objects before I loaded FTX Global. I didn't have any other add-on that affected Utah at all. Is there a possibility that the file that contains the building objects is in the backup folder and could it be restored? This kind of thing happened to me once before when I installed Flight 1 GEX NA and all the default objects at Edwards AFB were missing. The only way i could fix that was to uninstall GEX and restore the default textures. Then it all came back. Any other suggestions?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 please forgive my ignorance but where or better said of which airfield are we talking about here, SLC doesn't mean diddly to me, sorry are you sure you are not running any addon or AI program there as they also are in the habit to screw things around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty57 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Sorry SLC is Salt Lake City International Airport located in Salt Lake City, Utah, North America. And to answer your question, no I have no other terrain or add-on installed that has anything to do with Utah or this airport. I only have Orbx terrain add-ons for North America, PNW, NRM and CRM. I also have England and Wales installed. I have two payware airports installed, Israel's Farm and Walter Sutton's for PNW. I also have four freeware airports installed; Vashon, Bowerman, West Wind and some others for Canada. All Orbx products. I also ahve the lastest Orbx Libraries installed. The funny thing is, all the other local airports are populated, that lay around Salt Lake Airport. This is the only airport that I haven't got any building objects loading.

Tim Harris Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Global shouldn't touch any airports Generally for any missing things, first thing to check is your scenery density slider is on max, then failing that run a search of your main FSX folder for the ICAO of the airport 'KSLC' and see what turns up A quick search of my own FSX folder only pulls up .dds texture files for KLSC (x32) and 1 x navdata txt file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty57 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Tim, Thanks for responding. I followed your instructions and did a search of KSLC in the FSX directory and I found all the texture files for the airport structures, terminals, maintenance etc. I then tried lowering my Scenery density and Autogen density sliders, which were both maxed out. I tried a stepped approach so that I might bound the problem if the buildings suddenly showed up. However, the end result was that the jetways and most of the trucks and other smaller objects disappeared also. No joy. This doesn't make sense to me. If the slider is maxed out, shouldn't all the scenery possible be displayed in the sim? It seemed counter intuitive that by lowering the density slider, you get more scenery displayed. My other thought was, what file tells FSX what textures to display, where and how for a given airport? Maybe the file that tells how the placement of scenery should be is corrupted or missing for my FSX install? Any understanding of how this works?

Salty57 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 No response to this? I would like to understand why the airport textures are not showing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I have no idea mate, its all showing here with Global installed on top of default FSX+REX Global doesn't alter or touch airports,its purely a ground texture addon, so unless anyone else is missing KSLC terminal the issue is local to your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty57 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks. I wasn't expecting a fix via Global. I didn't think that was the problem. I just wanted some knowledge regarding what mechanism within FSX calls out and controls what ground objects, buildings, etc. should display? I have nothing but FTX scenery add-ons, so I thought maybe you might be able to give me some insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd700 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Salty57, I have issues with KSLC at night. Terminals disappear. They are there during the day. I noticed it after installing Global as well but the issue may have occurred prior to that. I seem to remember somewhere that this is a FSX issue. My solution? I don't fly there at night. Cheers, RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Boyte Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 One way to fix the missing KSLC terminals is to download Ray Smith's KSLC on Avsim. I'm not sure if it'll fix it but that's what it says in the description. Filename: kslc_ade_rs_fsx.zip http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=kslc_ade_rs_fsx.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty57 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks for the response guys. RD, unfortunately my KSLC scenery doesn't show up even during the day or night. Edward, I'll give this file a try and see if that corrects the issue. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronjr Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi All, Same here. Terminals disappearing at night - I can see the jetways and the terminals' signs (B1, B2, B9). At dusk they are there but you can see thru them. By day, things are normal. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
