jpsrose Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So I have FTX global (considering vector) along with REX, all is looking pretty sharp except I'm a little bit disappointed with the level of detail at airstrips and even fair-sized international airports.About six months ago I had a bunch of well made freeware strips on default scenery, I've tried installing them and placing them above FTX in order of importance but they don't seem to want to show up. Is there a way of having these super-imposed if you like over the top of FTX scenery? Or am I going to have to make do with how it currently is?

Doug Sawatzky Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Welcome! But first please remove your product licence key from your signature and replace it with your product order number instead. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpsrose Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 How do you do that? All I see is how to edit date of birth etc.What sort of forum has that public anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpsrose Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 I guess my question has been answered. No. After installing a few freeware files my FSX has gone haywire and begun a ritual CTD whenever I try to do anything. I've got to uninstall everything and start again.

If you look under your avatar space under order# you have entered <KEY REMOVED, mod> this is your product licence key that you need to protect and keep private, your product order # starts with FSS. Here is how: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/1157-important-notice-please-add-your-order-to-your-sig-for-support/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You are right...lol.. I can't find a way either. So I will ask an administrator to remove it, now that you have your proper order # up. Hey JV or Admin Could you please remove the licence key from this post? Thanks Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to reinstall FSX? Have you seen this before? If not it is very informative to building a great running sim. http://www.simforums.com/forums/the-fsx-computer-system-the-bible-by-nickn_topic46211.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not an issue, I've had FSX running at various times since it was first released. I know its shortcomings, lol. Very frustrating when this happens though. I'll just have to learn not to pick once its all up and running nicely again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_YVR Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So I have FTX global (considering vector) along with REX, all is looking pretty sharp except I'm a little bit disappointed with the level of detail at airstrips and even fair-sized international airports. About six months ago I had a bunch of well made freeware strips on default scenery, I've tried installing them and placing them above FTX in order of importance but they don't seem to want to show up. Is there a way of having these super-imposed if you like over the top of FTX scenery? Or am I going to have to make do with how it currently is? Rather vague in your description. Disappointed in which airports? Which "well made freeware strips"? It's hard to help without details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTX Global has nothing to do with the level of detail of airports of any size . You got yourself the wrong addon if that is what you were looking for. For having better airports you need to buy a region. If the freeware were working with default textures and are properly declared in the scenery library (beware of the W7 bug), Global should not hide them from being displayed. You did something wrong somewhere . This is assuming that we are talking MS FSX. For FSX-SE, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite what I expect from a simple question. All I know is that when I had them on default, they worked. Now I have ORBX, they don't. The scenery I was using just generic stuff like on this site: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html If you are saying that they should work with FTX then that's grand, that's all I was asking. I sure hope the actual company offer up advice to customers because this is hardly sufficient customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_YVR Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Still rather vague, I've got lots of various airport from http://www.freewarescenery.comand they work fine in FSX. FTX Global is a texture replacement for default textures, and should have no bearing on addon sceneries. Any specifics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
