nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have tried to install this patch, but at the end it starts up FTX Central and shows "Select FTX Global and click Apply". I do not see FTX Global in FTX Central I just see icons for Default and Europe Can anyone advise me what is going on? Thanks Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Try installing the latest library and see if that cures the problem. https://www.fullterrain.com/support#Orbxlibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, Thanks for your quick reply. I do, as a matter of course, reinstall the libraries after every FTX addition or update. But to be sure I have just re-run that install again. However looking again at FTX Central, still only Default and Europe are showing, with Europe ticked. Can you advise anything else?

Nick Cooper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have read a couple of your previous posts on this topic and I see that you have recently reinstalled FSX. I wonder if the reason that installing the libraries does not have the expected result is that they are being either installed to the wrong location or your shortcut is pointing to the wrong location and running an older seperate version of FTX Central. Can you state your current FSX install location, the previous one, if different and the location reported when you install the libraries. Many thanks.

nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, thanks again. You are right I have reinstalled everything recently - due to low frame rates before. I believe I have installed everything accepting the defaults offered, from FSX through to FTX. I think I remember tho' that even uninstalling FTX it didn't get rid of FTX Central or FTX Vector Configurator from the Desktop. I tried to clean them but couldn't locate them and so maybe I left them to be overwritten. I think you earlier asked for the FTX installed list FTX AA ORBX LIBRARIES VER 140927 27TH SEPTEMBER 2014FTX EU EGFF CARDIFF INTL V1.10 - MARCH 2013FTX EU EGKA SHOREHAM (BRIGHTON) V1.00 - February 2013FTX EU ENG England 1.40 - August 2014FTX EU WLS Wales 1.30 - August 2014FTX GLOBAL BASE PACK - Version 1.20 December 2013FTX GLOBAL VECTOR PACK - Version 1.20 October 2014 Thanks again Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Perhaps then you can try going to your FSX root folder\ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral\ and run FTX Central.exe from there by right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator and see if it looks different.

nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, Reading your post again, you asked me to confirm the libraries updates are going to the current location. They are. I inadvertently confirmed that just now by accidentally starting reinstalling the libraries again, with FTX Central open! The install baulked at updating FTX Central until I had closed it!

nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks Nick, Tried running FTX Central from the folder and get the same result. I searched and only found the one FTXCentral.exe. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, I am happy to uninstall FTX and reinstall if you think that's the simplest way that will fix the problem. But maybe I need guideance to be sure it's all removed before I install it again? Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Uninstalling and reinstalling is only the easiest way because it guarantees success if done properly, as there is nothing left of the defective installation. I wouldn't recommend it as anything other than a last resort. You might perhaps reinstall FTX Global and see if it adds the correct icon this time.

nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, OK I will do a reinstall of just FTX Global, without uninstalling anything first. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nick, Well that seems to have fixed it. I installed FTX, patched it and installed the libraries and it now shows in FTX Central along with Europe, instead of Default. Do you think Vector, the regions and airfields will work with that now or should they also be reinstalled? Thanks very much for your support Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I expect that all will now be well. Unless you see unwanted errors in your scenery I would do no more at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nigel, I see your still reporting Global v1.2. It has been replaced by v1.3, goto your account at the FSS and download the latest version to be up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandrews Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 OK thanks. I see it now. I am surprised I haven't spotted that before or received an update notification, from FSS. Thanks for heads up Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
