Problems with the Isle of Man (FTX Global + EU)

Recommended Posts

I'm experiencing some problems with the appearance of the Isle of Man, showing broken and corrupted landclass areas.


 


I have the full FTX Global suite (BASE, Vector, OpenLC and the FS Global FTX mesh from PILOTS), on top of which I have the FTX EU regions (England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland).

I do *not* have the ES Isle of Man, so since the island isn't covered by any of the region packs (according to the coverage maps in the documentation) it should show the standard FTX Global scenery.


 


With FTX Central set to "Global" without Hybrid mode, everything looks absolutely fine.


Set to "Europe", or to "Global" with Hybrid mode, I get messed up, constantly changing polygons that switch between being land and sea.  Strangely, if I then manually disable all of the region entries in the FSX Scenery Library, the problem still persists as long as "Europe" or "Hybrid" is selected.

I've tried regenerating the terrain.cfg file following instructions found on the support forum (take backup copy from \ORBX\Scripts\FTX Global\Backup, then switch regions in FTX Central to re-add the FTX custom options) but that simply didn't work (the terrain.cfg file was not changed)


 


I've spent the last two days trying everything I can think of, short of a complete FSX reinstall (which I'd like to avoid, since I've barely just got the sim fully operational after the last re-install).


 


Please can you advise?

OK after a lot more searching through the forums here I've nailed it down to being a problem with lclookup.bgl being an out-of-date version.  If I follow Ed Correias instructions and copy the file from this thread http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/83462-texture-morphing-issues/#entry774635 to my \Scenery\BASE\scenery folder, it solves the problem.  


 


However, whenever  I switch back to the Europe region, the problem returns, and the lclookup.bgl reverts to the old version.  FTX Central must be keeping a copy of the old file and overwriting when I change regions.  I can see various different versions of lclookup.bgl in different subfolders under \ORBX\Scripts.  One of those perhaps?


 


I'd like to fix this so that I don't have to manually copy the corrected file every time I switch regions.

Hi I have a visually similar problem but this time with EU Scotland,Shetland Island and FTX Sumbrough. Before I installed Global it worked fantastic but now if I set Europe from FTX central I get graphic anomalies.. looks like areas where no texture is loaded. Siutation resolves If I fly setting Global at FTX central.
