John Venema Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 No you don't, it's only needed if you want to fly between full-fat FTX regions and FTX Global/Vector/OLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merowinger Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No you don't, it's only needed if you want to fly between full-fat FTX regions and FTX Global/Vector/OLC. so I ask for a recommendation: I have Australia full-fat and the new AYPY-scenery. I want to fly from Cairns to AYPY and because I'll start in Cairns I'd like to see from the Australia landscape a little bit before I am at high level. AYPY works with global. Should I switch to oceania before flying and if I do so: will AYPY looks in the same way like it does with global? thanks Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatwick Flyer Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I do not want to sound like a dumb ass, but as my C:/ SSD drive is getting filled rapidly, I have a full copy of my FSX sim on my D:/ HDD. Can anyone tell me how to re-direct FTX central towards my D drive for future Open LC installations and away from my C drive..

Does fsx normally run from the c drive? If so, you need to uninstall fsx, then reinstall on the drive d. And then install all your addons again.

Tim Harris Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 okay, thanks. Is there a large different in the landscape of Australia, compared to using Oceania? The answer is [Global - hybrid] for Cairns to Moresby flights, [Oceania] is also OK (some things may be a little different in PNG), but if you want to best from both at the same time, use [Global-hybrid] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That was the first flight I did to arrive at Port Moresby! Used Global-Hybrid, as Tim confirms, and it was so sweet...Will also try it set to Oceania to see the difference but in all honesty Kai, due to Cairns' location, after a short while, you won't really see too much of Australia on that route as you head across the sea...though it made a great first departure flight with my impatience to make my first arrival into PNG before exploring the wonderful bush, rainforest villages...and Kokoda...The vegetation is just awesome...

Gatwick Flyer Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 yes I did make a copy, and both run very well, I run REX4 and can direct that to which fsx that I want to run C or D... but when I buy future Orbx LC products I only want to install them into the D: Installation as I have 1.6tb free space there..

Its clear for me, i've understood, I'll have to upgrade my Orbx libraries. I have Iceland landcalss demo installed. Will the installer manage this situation ?

Sabrina C. Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hello Ed, thank´s a lot for the manual prior downloading (soon?) the software. If had read it carefully but won´t understand the following statement in the manual: "Note that openLC Europe is not the FTX Europe region and selecting it will cause anomalies in the scenery." I have installed FTX EU England, Ireland and Scotland. When I fly now there, should i apply "FTX Global" or "FTX Europe" i the FTX Central and what would be the differnce? Many Thanks Sabrina Update: I think I´ve got the solution: If I own for Example FTX England and fly over there, I have to apply "FTX EU" in Central. If I fly over Germany, I have to apply "FTX Global" in Central to get the Scenery of Open LC Europe because it is implemented there. Right?

Many Thanks Sabrina Hi Sabrina, If flying just in the UK & Ireland select FTX Europe, but if flying in between those countries and Europe, select FTX Global. Because FTX Europe uses a different landclass lookup file, mainland Europe will have some issues if FTX Europe is selected. Remember that openLC is a Global addon and works with our regions, but only when Global is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engwerda 31300 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Like Gerold I cannot guarantee a stable internet connection over a 15Gb download even with a manager. Any chance of a boxed version? Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's not a 15GB download. It's 4x 4.5GB downloads. Even with a slow connection a download manager is essential and with GetRight you can create four links to the same file at once which gives you a speed boost.

macca22au Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yes put Dropbox on your PC (dropbox.com), and download the Dropbox App (free) from the Apple App Store. Simply download the manual to your PC, either directly to Dropbox, or move it in. It should then appear in Dropbox on your iPad. It is cloud-based storage.

Oreto Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I wonder if can I install only one of the regions and run FSX after or is it compulsory install all the four regions to run FSX without issues? I need some more days to get my new HDD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ok, some updates on the sizes. Total of all four installers is just over 9GB. So each installer is between 2 & 3 GB, quite manageable with download managers. As to just installing the one region, it is possible. Each installer is self contained and can function on its own.
