marsh1565 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Good evening I have downloaded the latest update 1.30 however i have the following problem. 1. Downloaded (2 occasions from Flightsim store) 2. Extracted the file to my desktop 3. Ran set up 4. Installer unwraps the download 5. It then opens FTX Cenral apply tick to global 6. By pass back up textures 7. Ready to install 8. Checking file condition then it vanishes (as if its doing something in the background) leaving the "finish" box I have left it thinking that it will eventually install but to my frustration nothing Any ideas what I need to do to install?

marsh1565 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Apologies here is the detail you require Order Number FSS0290459 (completed) Orbx-FTX Global Base Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks, First up check how much free space you have on your FSX drive (if separate) and on your main OS hard drive And also check you closed FTXcentral before continuing (between your steps 6-7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh1565 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Space may be the problem as I have only 594MB left on my drive, I have FSX and PREPR3D both on E drives. I did close the FTX Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ouch, yes most likely As a general rule you need 3 x times the size of the installer in free space to install something... one for the actual zip, two for the unwrapping/unzipping into your temp folder, and three to actually install So for FTXGlobal at around 4.6GB you'll need about 10-12GB free space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh1565 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ok looks like I will have to move one of the sims onto another drive NIGHTMARE!!!!!! Will get back to you if I still have a problem. Just thinking is there a way I can remove Global 1.20 which should create the space I need to put 130 on?

Tim Harris Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Not really, because FTXGlobal overwrites your default FSX textures, so in the end not really taking up much more space (maybe 500mb extra) Perhaps try this tool http://download.cnet.com/WinDirStat/3000-2248_4-10614593.html it gives you a good 'picture' of whats hogging space, maybe you can move some downloads to an external drive As a rule.. running your system on a hard drive with only 594MB of free space is not helpful in regards to FSX/P3D performance, but thats just my own opinion Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Cheese Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Marshall, if both sims are on your E:\ drive, they can stay where they are, no need to move. The problem is that the installer needs space on your C:\ drive (or where your OS is), this is the one you need to make room on.
