nandrews Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just bought and installed FTX Global 110 into a 'virgin' FSX installation. But the FTX Central Region Files Validation Report shows "FSX file does not exist" for about 80 odd files All are missing from c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\Global\Texture\ and all start with veg_ I have tried running FTXORBXLIBS_131215 but that hasn't changed anything.

Holger Sandmann Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Nigel, did you update FSX to Service Pack 2 or Acceleration? Those error messages can indicate that you're still using the RTM/SP1 level of FSX. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Holger, No I haven't (I'd half forgotten about that and might have assumed MS Update would have taken care of that). I installed MSFS Deluxe Edition I will go searching. Will I need to reinstall FTX Global afterwards? Thanks Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi Nigel, no, FSX Deluxe is still one of the two original versions -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_X -- and needs to be updated to SP2 level: http://www.microsoft.com/products/games/fsinsider/downloads/pages/default.aspx Since an update to FSX itself changes a number of core files it's probably a good idea to re-install FTX Global (and any other add-ons you may have) afterwards.

Guest Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi Nigel, you said a "virgin FSX installation". Did you launch once FSX to validate the serial key before installing FTX Global? That may be the cause of yours errors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks both. I did follow your advice uninstalled FTX Global and installed Accelerator and then reinstalled FTX Global. Now FTX Central runs fine. BUT I have a follow-on question regarding the scenery itself and which maybe doesn't belong here. I will post it here nevertheless and you can tell me if I should repost. Having installed this (expensive investment) global scenery I hoped to see an improved experience over the basic FSX scenery. I fly FSX mostly in the U.K. and in particular from a South Coast airfield.With the original FSX scenery there was a semblance of the main roads in the area and a believable scenery, with basic towns shown in their location.Now with FTX: Global BASE installed I see no realistic main roads at all, and what are there (highways and intersections) often go straight out into the sea!The generic scenery for the area is very unrealistic showing large numbers of houses, factories where there are none in reality! I seem to have at least bought (and paid a lot for) not very much and at worst a much poorer representation than was in the native FSX!
