jm3XQ Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hello there, I noticed that the sea west of KLAX Los Angeles International became land in FSX. I recently installed KPSP but I am not sure if this had any influence since deactivation of KPSP in the scenery library didn't change anything, neither did switching of FTX Central. Scenery lib seems to be OK. Anything to solve this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B77X Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Do you have ultimate terrain? If so, just open the UTX config program and let it run through everything. And did you install orbx Libraries after PSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm3XQ Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi. I just opened both UTX USA and Canada programs but they seem fine. I only use them for display of their LC data, everything else is deactivated. Just installed latest libs again but no change. Last time I flew into KLAX a month ago everything was fine. There's no other scenery active in the area except the ones mentioned above plus Global Base and Vector. I just had another look at it and it seems that only a square region immediately west of KLAX is affected, everything else is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Düsselwings Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi! I have the same problem, but without having UTX installed on this PC, just Global (1.30), Vector (1.20) and other ORBX Addons. There aren´t other addons installed in that area. I have also checked, that I have the latest library installed. My shots are looking very similar to the above... On my laptop, where I do have (a deactivated) UTX but no KPSP, there is everything OK as you can see on the post I already started in the German Forum... http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/87161-texturproblem-nach-kpsp/?p=796237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavierp Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just visited an OLD friend yesterday evening that has exactly the same issue.EXACTLY the same terrain. He has FSDT KLAX there global and vector I spent an hour trying to fix it with no luck. Basically all i did was to try desactivating some mesh in the vector program... I'll tell him to jump in.

Jarrad Marshall Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm just exploring a possible cause and will report back tonight. Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm3XQ Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Jarrad, Thanks. Actually, we already found a solution. With the help of the german subforum here and especially the work of "Kaeptn" / Frank, who was able to find it even though he doesn't even own the scenery by himself, we found the solution. The issue seems to occur only when FTX Vector is also installed. Here's the solution: Just re-enable the file 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.OFF found in in \Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery by re-naming the ending to .bgl. Now the sea is back in LAX. Also on the first look no resulting issues were found when checking KPSP again. Thank you for this outstanding scenery!

GlennH Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm just exploring a possible cause and will report back tonight. Cheers, Jarrad Im seeing this at LAX too. Global, Vector and KPSP Should we do the fix listed in the reply above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Marshall Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi guys, This indeed is correct, it's a mistake on my end in an attempt to remedy a clash with KPSP. I'm away for the next week on holidays but will be working with the team once I'm back on deck to find a proper solution to this issue, but in the mean time those instructions again: 1. Go to your ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery folder, and find the file named 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.OFF 2. Rename this file to 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl 3. This will resolve the (far more important) coastline/waterbody issue, however the trade-off will be that the KPSP airport bagge tunnel will have a terrain clash. Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtatum79 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Having the same issue, tried the fix with no results. What am i missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Parsons Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Order No. FSS0324311 The suggested fix didn't work for me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Parsons Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Order No. FSS0324311 FYI: I also tried disabling KPSP in the scenery library (as well as applying this fix) and still no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRx Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 it did the same for me too. The simplest fix from me was to re install Vectors 1.20. fixed it right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Parsons Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 It looks like KPSP has screwed up Vector in some way and needs more than the simple fix described above. I think I'll wait for the official patch from Jarrad Marshall when it comes. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjallen Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The file renaming worked for me. Just don't rename it with a .bgl.bgl extension. It is easy to do. Thanks jja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrad Marshall Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi guys, This is the only waterbody file that was affected by the KPSP installer, and all that was done was to switch it off. I'm just on holidays at the moment but will be liasing with the vector team on Monday to create the appropriate fix. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Düsselwings Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Jarrad, enjoy your holidays, I think there are some square kilometers left to explore until the fix is available! Have a great time and relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvette12 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 1. Go to your ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery folder, and find the file named 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.OFF 2. Rename this file to 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl ========================================================== I went to do this and 1619_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl is all ready named this - I have all land no water - my fps are messed up now and stutters - how do I uninstall KPSP as I would like to get my sim back to where it was - thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rename the waterbody file worked for me Jarrad Wanted to say this: First FSX won't start no more, so opened FSX cetral2 and Switched regs between GLobal and NA, all worked perfect again and water issue resolved.

papa19 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 papa19 here. I had issues as described with all water turned to land. I'm no way as knowledgeable as you all, but here is what I did. I un-checked "orbxvector exx" in the scenery file and all the water features came back with no ill effects I have noticed. This also seemed to get back all roads & vehicles. Strange, but it seems to work for me. This is a great forum, so helpful espically to someone like me who can't find the "any-key". Thanks to all. PS, KLGB is my home field, no issues with KPSP. papa19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Under no circumstances should you disable that .exx file, even though it seems to solve your problem. Doing so has huge consequences elsewhere which you haven't discovered yet. Take Jarrad's advice about renaming the waterbody file. He is, after all, designer of the scenery.

papa19 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Stewart, Thank you sir. Will undo my goof and try the other. Thank you. Ok, found the file and it does end in .bgl, however when I enable the .exx file in the scenery list, all water features turn back to land. Might need extra help. As a side note, I'm not the sharpest tool in the drawer when it comes to this type of fiddling with computer programs. Thanks again for tolerating my lack of understanding. papa19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the file you have ends in .bgl I'm not really sure what the problem is. Disabling the .exx entry, though, is not the answer. Sorry I can't be more help.

papa19 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 papa19 here, Regarding the water land issue I was having. Ended up trying the Vector 1.20 update reinstall and it worked. So far it appears all water features are now ok. I would like to thank all who responded in an effort to help me. Stewart, thanks again for your help. I think I will kick the tires and fly around with my new found great scenery. This is a swell forum. papa19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvdboomen Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The search function does work! I had to do some more steps because my file already ended with .bgl. In FTX Central I switched from Global and back to North America and then I found the file to be renamed with a .OFF extension. I removed the .OFF and all is well now.
