jock Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hello, My FTX Central has taken upon itself to refuse to load after working perfectly for a number of weeks. It is currently set on Europe, but I obviously need to be able to change this setting. Loading hangs and I eventually get the message: "Could not find a part of the pathC:\Users\Jock\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery\World\Texture\TilePattern12.bmp" Any help would be much appreciated. Frustration reigns! Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 That certainly is a rather odd error message. Probably your FSX registry entry has become corrupt. First of all, try to reinstall the latest ORBX libraries and note please into which location the installer puts the files. If it does not match the actual location of FSX on your PC, please do not install it but report back with the outcome. Thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks Nick, will do - but must rush off and cook the evening meal now! Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry for the delay, Nick. I have two terabyte drives on my PC, one specifically for FSX (Drive I) However, the Libraries want to install here,on the other drive: C:\Users\Jock\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX Shortcut folder: Orbx As well as the European addons I also have various North American Orbx addons. I await your further suggestions anxiously. Thank you so much for your interest. Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You need to modify your registry entry to reflect the path to where your installation actually is, it is most definitely not in C:\Users\Jock\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. You can do this quite easily by following the registry section here http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/83440-how-to-move-fsx-from-one-drive-to-another/ or perhaps by using the tool found here http://tweakfs.com/download/fsx_reg_utility.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Many thanks again, Nick. You say: "It is assumed that FTX products are already installed to C:\FSX\ORBX." Unfortunately I can't find any sign of FTX on the C: drive. All FTX is already in my FSX folder on my I: drive. So I'm somewhat stumped now. Any suggestions please?Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry, Nick, I've found FSX on the C: drive in a folder called Microsoft. Inside there is an ORBX folder which has FTX AU in it, which in turn has FTXAA ORBXLIBS. I have the Freeware Tasmania Demo installed from way back. There is another folder called Scripts which, among other things, has FTXCentral in it. The User Documents folder in here has the latest version of ORBXLIBS. Perhaps I should uninstall Tasmania then reinstall it; it could be causing the confusion (?) Regads, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My guide is meant as an example and I never meant you to read other than the section on how to amend the registry so that the installers are told the correct location of the FSX folder. If you have remnants of a previous installation on your C: drive, you should delete them. I assume that you have never actually installed FSX to the I drive, rather copied it there from elsewhere? Whether this was the case or not, if that is where is is now, you need to tell the registry. If you provide me with the exact path to your present installation I may be able to provide you with a registry key which can be easily imported into your registry.

jock Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's pretty straightforward: Computer > New Volume (I:) . Microsoft Games > Microsoft Flight Simulator X. That's it! Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Nick, I should add that FSX was installed on the I drive by Chillblast at my request when I bought the PC. It has never been moved since then. Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Have you tried the TweakFS tool I linked to above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Not yet, but I certainly shall. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks once again. Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Right! I have used the tweak tool, FTX Central has opened, and contains only the Default icon, no sign at all of my FTX installations. What now, please? Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Try reinstalling the latest library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Tried that but now there's another error when I try to open FTX Central: Custom Files Validation ReportCustom file does not exist.I:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\Scripts\Custom.na\veg_palm1.dds Custom file does not exist.I:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\Scripts\Custom.na\veg_tropical2.dds Will it ever end! Regards, Jock I've looked again at FTX Central and, in spite of the error report, all regions are now present. What, if anything, is the significance of the error report, please? Regards, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Those two texture files are only used in NCA so the message is indeed of no consequence. If you want to get rid of it you can copy veg_tropical2.dds and veg_palm1.dds from your \ORBX\Scripts\Custom.au into \ORBX\Scripts\Custom.na. The above is from a reply by Holger to an identical enquiry. Do I take it that your problems are now fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nick, you're a marvel - and enormously patient as well as very clever. Yes, I'm pretty sure the problem is fixed, thanks entirely to you. I'll follow Holger's method as given - thanks. From the bloke in the South-West to the chap in the North-East, my sincere thanks for all your help. Best Wishes, Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
