pepsimachine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello, Hope you guys can help. I installed Australia SP-4, NZSI, NZQN and NZMF over the holidays and have been flying that area. The other day I returned to PNW and NRM areas and found that all my non-payware airports are cluttered with houses and trees. The runways are usually clear but the parking areas and taxiways and all the areas around the runway are full of auto-gen. If I switch to Global in FTX Central then they are OK. But when I switch back to North America the problem is back. I also recently installed the .007 patch. I have the following products from the FlightSim Store/ PNW #58950 / KORS #93224 / 1S2 and 3W5 #104609 / 74S #146010 NRM #93785 /FTX Global #223845 / SP4 # 249435 / NZSI # 251746 / NZQN and NZMF #255377 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirit_66 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 To be sure. You installed ORBXLIBS 131215 at the end as the last action? Spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If you have the latest libraries installed, as suggested, have you any other third party scenery or mesh installed for the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsimachine Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Reinstalled 131215 just to make sure. Still have the problem. No other sceneries installed for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi there, that's pretty odd because you're missing the grass skirting polygons that cover airport areas and keep out the underlying landclass autogen. Since it seems to be OK with FTX Global active it may be an issue with the specific terrain.cfg entries supplied by PNW. Thus I'd suggest "refreshing" your terrain.cfg file. The active terrain.cfg is located in the main FSX folder and there's a backup of the original version in the \ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral\Work folder. Make a copy of your active terrain.cfg (as a safety backup) and then overwrite it with the original version. Then you need to start and cycle FTX Central at least once between options (doesn't matter which) and press Apply to automatically re-insert the FTX custom entries. Also, if you own other add-ons that require custom entries, like Ultimate Terrain or FSAddon, you'll need to run their setup tools or repair options as well.

pepsimachine Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks Holger. I did as you suggested but no joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi there, hmm, so does the issue go away in Global hybrid mode as well? If it's only OK in the non-hybrid mode then something at higher display priority in your scenery library might be excluding those skirting polys.

pepsimachine Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 No the problem still exists in hybrid mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi there, that's what I mean. If the issue happens in both Global hybrid and North America modes then it's more likely that something is excluding our polygons. (When using FTXG without the hybrid checkbox what you're seeing are the default airport skirtings). Are you sure there are no entries above the FTX block that may contain such excludes?

pepsimachine Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 All those entries were there prior to the Oceana installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Howdy, I suspect that the UTX excludes ("Exclusions for default scenery") are the culprit. As per the manual the Ultimate Terrain entries should be at lower display priority than the FTX block otherwise you won't even see most of the NA region's components; also see here: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/17121-ultimate-terrain-x-usacanada-and-ultimate-alaska-x-compatibility-with-ftx-pnw-pfj-and-nrm/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsimachine Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks Holger ! I moved all the UTX stuff below the ORBX stuff. Looks Good!! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsimachine Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 It appears the fix was only temporary. As soon as I switch to Global in FTX Central, all my Ultimate Terrain entries get moved back above the FTX entries. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Maly Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Go to FTX Central > Tools > Scenery Library Configuration > FTX Scenery Library Insertion Points - there you can move the files around as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
