Golflyer1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I just installed ORBX Global in LM Prepar3d V2. I have a couple questions.. 1. What is FTX Central? I don't have see that program (?) on my computer and I don't see a reference to it in LM Menus during flight. 2. I fly in the Portland, OR area and after installing Global, I see no difference in the scenery at all. Why? 3. How do I know that my simulator is using the new scenery files from ORBX? The files that were installed seem to be in a folder called "backup" within the ORBX folder, even though I chose not to back up the original scenery files during installation. 4. I tried downloading the free PNW packs but none of the downloaded files work. The downloaded zip folder is empty. Am I missing some base software? I am not new to flightsims, but the scenery system confuses me and always has. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hi,Please take some minutes to read the definitive guide to understand FTX profucts:http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/74345-the-definitive-guide-to-ftx-products-the-go-to-source-of-ftx-information/ FTX Central is the main panel to manage ORBX installed products. You can get access through Start Menu/Orbx or on your desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golflyer1 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I read the "definitive" guide but it only references the use of FTX Central, not actually explain where it is or what it does. I can only deduce that it is only installed when more packs are installed. I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Make sure you've installed the latest Orbx libraries last, they contain FTX Central and many other core programs: https://www.fullterrain.com/support#orbxlibs You can open FTX Central through the Start Menu, under Orbx, or there may be a shortcut on your desktop after installation.

Doug Sawatzky Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Welcome 1. FTX Central is and would have been installed with your FTX Global Base, there should be an Icon on your desktop. 2. FTX Global Base repaces the default textures in your FS, it does not alter the scenery. 3. When you find your FTX Central, click on "Tools/Report/FTX Products Installed" 4. The freeware packs are very small in size and consist of only an .exe file. and all you need is FTX Global Base. Finally, as per Alex's instructions above, always install the latest Orbx libraries last after every new scenery addition. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
