ACTIVE Should I uninstall ftx global?

[red259]

I recently tried some free demos PNW & iceland. Previously ftx global had been working fine. Now I am seeing trees in the water and water in the trees all over fsx. I installed the patch for ftx global (although when ftx central loads it still says version 1.0) and the latest libraries. When I go to ftx central I have two options global and north america. The default option does not appear at all. When I switched from north america back to global I got the error below. I have removed the iceland demo, but I got an error when running the pnw uninstaller and it was not removed. I have moved my airport scenery about all ftx products and it does not solve the issue. I was thinking about uninstalling ftx and deleting any orbx file on my computer and then trying to reinstall it. Thanks.

You have a permissions error on restore.bat - try running FTX Central as Administrator to overcome that error, then switching from Global to North America again.

I ran it as an administrator and was able to switch back and forth between north america and global without a problem. However, I am still running into the issue with trees and buildings being in the water or water in the mountains.

pls try this


go to => C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX and open the scenery.cfg file with notepad and check that the first entry is equal to the one I've posted here

[Area.001]
Title=Default Terrain
Local=Scenery\World
Texture_ID=1
Layer=1
Active=TRUE
Required=TRUE

[Area.001]

Title=Default Terrain

Local=Scenery\World

Texture_ID=1

Layer=1

Active=TRUE

Required=TRUE

The very first entry is:[General]

Title=FS9 World Scenery

Description=FS9 Scenery Data

Clean_on_Exit=TRUE

 

Right after that is the entry you posted and it matches exactly. I don't have fs9 only fsx. 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

OK, was just a hunch, so that's OK then

[red259]

Yes, it's too bad that was not the issue. I wish it was an easy fix.

I ended up uninstalling all orbx products and reinstalling FTx global. It works now but I am hesitant to try other orbx products in the future because of the concern how it may impact global.
