cpimentel Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hello, I have installed FTX Global and Europe for long time. For no apparent reason all textures are corrupted. No longer exists the definition of land and water. What can I do to return everything to normal? Thanks in advance, Carlos Pimentel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tim, I use FSX Acceleration. This screenshot is about Lisbon but I get flooded terrain all over the places. FTX Central Europe also. http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2013/11/05/ZOfJl.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 assuming you are using Windows 7 please check this Go to => C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX check the terrain.cfg file using notepad and make sure the entry Area.001 looks like this [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Local=Scenery\World Texture_ID=1 Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Harris Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Also, if its just happened, perhaps your terrain.cfg is fubar If you like you can try resetting it, download the attached file below, unzip and drop into your main FSX folder, then cycle FTXcentral between [Default/Global] and [Europe] pressing OK each time Default_FSX_GOLD_terrain.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway. sorry my bad I meant the scenery.cfgThis is what I have [Area.001] Title=Default Scenery Local=Scenery\BASE Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Local=Scenery\World Texture_ID=1 Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 just entered in your post what is missing, hence your corrupted display of fsX add that line what I made red to your scenery.cfg that should resolve the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpimentel Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 just entered in your post what is missing, hence your corrupted display of fsX add that line what I made red to your scenery.cfg that should resolve the issue Sorry Wolter, Didn't work at all. Pls pay attention: My original is [Area.001] Title=Default Scenery Local=Scenery\BASE Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE and you propose [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Local=Scenery\World Texture_ID=1 Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE As you can notice Texture_ID=1 it's not the only line missed. Yours "Title=Default Terrain" and "Local=Scenery\World" isn´t the same of my original "Title=Default Scenery and "Local=Scenery\BASE" Changing mine by yours results in a big big mess.

Following this last communication I would like to continue to be the subject of attention of your tech support since I find myself unable to use my FSX for some time. As a last solution, I wonder how can I fully uninstall Orbx from my computer so I can reinstall it without constrains and corrupted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi Carlos, As recommended have you corrected the entry [Area.001] in the Scenery.cfg exactly as shown by Wolter. In: C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX it would appear that you have incorrectly edited the scenery.cfg in 3 places, one entry is missing and one calls scenery instead of Terrain & One is pointing to the wrong Folder location. Title=Default Scenery <--------- wrong call should be (Terrain) Local=Scenery\BASE <--------- wrong folder location should be (World) Texture_ID=1 ) <--------- missing entry (insert this one) You can copy the text marked in Blue below, and paste it into your scenery.cfg replacing the old [Area.001] entry, making sure you paste it in the correct sequence shown below. It goes between/after the [General] entry, and before [Area.002] entry. Or you can comment out the incorrect [Area.001] entry like this " // " and simply past the text Wolter provided into the scenery.cfg file, immediately above the one you commented out. You should also check to see if this same entry for [Area.001] appears in the FSX root folder scenery.cfg, as the text marked in Blue. Most importantly the entries for ( Local=Scenery\World & Texture_ID=1 & Title=Default Terrain ) ******************** Only make these edits to [Area.001] ****************************** Cheers Jeff *********************************************************** ============>Do this to your original [Area.001] entry //[Area.001]//Title=Default Scenery//Local=Scenery\BASE//Layer=1//Active=TRUE//Required=TRUE ********************************************************** [General] Title=FS9 World SceneryDescription=FS9 Scenery DataClean_on_Exit=TRUE ============> place correct entry after this line in your scenery.cfg [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Local=Scenery\World Texture_ID=1 Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE [Area.002] ============> place correct entry before this line in your scenery.cfg Title=Default SceneryLocal=Scenery\BASELayer=2Active=TRUERequired=TRUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpimentel Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi Jeff, Thank you very much for your cristal explanation. I'm glad to see that my scenery.cfg has nothing wrong following the path you gave me (C: \ Users \ YourUsername \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ FSX). All the confusion was due to the previous path given by Wolter (C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ FSX). No hard feelings Wolter. I know the intention of helping, was the best. Now that it cleared up this misunderstanding, and to know that the cause of my problem is not whether the "scenery.cfg", I would like to continue the investigations in making my FSX + FTXG in good condition as before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Carlos, Ok then, if you're sure that scenery.cfg is showing the correct text now. You should give this a try : Open FTX Central Cycle it back to FTXGlobal which is now the new default texture set & Untick Hybrid Mode checkbox Click the Apply button Start FSX let the Database rebuild if necessary load a flight around the original problem area shown in your screenshot (Lisbon) I think! see if everything is normal once again (you should have no more flooding) If everything is good once again, go back to FTX Central and reselect Hybrid mode checkbox, Click Apply, Close FTXCentral, Restart FSX, database may rebuild. If you are wanting to fly within one of your FTX Regions with (FTX Global) or see both the chosen Region and FTXG ground textures at the same time select a Region with Hybrid mode checked Click Apply, Close FTXCentral, Restart FSX. The reason for Cycling FTX Central back to (Default FSX) which is now (FTX Global), allows FTX Central to sort out the FSX Scenery Library Order in relation to all FTX products installed. But usually the (Flooding issue is solved by putting the (Texture_ID=1) back into the scenery.cfg [Area.001]. BTW I'm assuming that you have successfully installed the FTXG patch 1.10 with the green tick on FTX Global only & Region Unticked - Hybrid Unticked ie:( North America, Europe, Oceania,/Australia, no green tick). When you select an option in FTX Central, always Click Apply and run FSX, This will immediately order the scenery library according to default order or the intended order using FTX Central's (Insertion Points), to guarantee correct ordering of other Scenery products ie; (OZx in relation to FSX Base, FTX, Mesh, Landclass, Airports & other Sceneries). Is it possible for you to provide a screenshot of your FTX Central Scenery Library (Insertion Points) & FSX Scenery (Library Order), just to see if this has played any part causing your issues.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 with all due respect, the scenery.cfg that is located here => C: \ Users \ YourUsername \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ FSX is the backup original copy the active one is located here => C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Wolter, Apologies, me not mean to trample clumsily around. Quite right, this is the active where Base fsx, Orbx and addons are loaded into FSX, but none the less the entry corrections for [Area.001] as listed in your original reply should be reflected in all 3 scenery.cfg locations. FSX Root - scenery.cfg C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg With (Texture_ID=1) being the important inclusion if it has gone a-wall. The worrying thing though is the (Scenery\Base) (Scenery\World) - (Default Scenery) (Default Terrain) in the [Area.001] entry edits in his original scenery.cfg show those lines to be incorrect, World & Terrain are correct entries in all 3 Folder locations. I humbly bow-out now did not mean to create confusion, my mistake I thought that a change/correction in one was automatically created in the others when FSX is started...... not having my Sim installed 'atm' makes looking under the hood for reference difficult, along with my own personal visual inconsistency's.

Jethro VH-JET Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Carlos, My last attempt and then I will have to hand off to greater minds. What happens if you put the same edits into the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX)scenery.cfg as you have in your C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX)scenery.cfg mind you Just edit and save for the [Area.001) entry only. Does that make things better. over & out Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edit my scenery.cfg at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX to this: [General] Title=FS9 World Scenery Description=FS9 Scenery Data Clean_on_Exit=TRUE [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Local=Scenery\World Texture_ID=1 Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE [Area.002] Title=Default Scenery Local=Scenery\BASE Layer=2 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE [Area.003] Title=0000 Base Local=Scenery\0000 Layer=3 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE After this I ran FSX with no more flooded terrain Now I have same scenery.cfg at C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. Wolter you are right! All this unexpected alterations on my scenery.cfg happened in the sequel of the installation of a new scenery addon (I presume). With Europe ticked I could verify the loss of Thames river and Cardiff estuary but I fixed it myself based on an old Paul Webster tip. Jeff and Wolter I must thank you very very much for your suberb support and professionalism. I hope to leave you rested for a long time.

Jethro VH-JET Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Carlos, I am very pleased you now have a healthy SIM to enjoy, very glad also that you hung in there so that you did not need to uninstall Orbx and start again reinstalling. I feared this would still have left the fault in the scenery.cfg even if you went to that trouble returning FSX to an addon free state. So go and have some fun now.

Kind Regards Jeff Hi Jeff, Just a few more words of thanks. I spent a few sleepless nights. This issue was a nightmare but your clues based on scenery.cfg prompted me to analyze backups registered in my system and... bingo! Few "pounds" less of my heavy ignorance. I am now waiting for the announced and much-desired "FTX Global open LC Europe" where I hope to see Azores treated according to their terrain specificities.
