jeffeven Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Order Number: FSS0321846 Probably some rookie mistake but I have suddenly lost all my airport buildings. Installed latest orbxlib still nothing. I did accidently delete a number of files that showed up in my "documents" file... like hundreds. Can't remember the file extension but it was something like .anb... don't remember exactly. Have been using ORBX Global for several months and this is the first problem I've encountered. Would appreciate your advice. Jeff Even Rocklin, CA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 looks like you'll need to re run the Global main installer again to get the files back, you can also go to your FSS account and download the latest version from there, saves getting all the patches, also do not forget to run the latest library files last, all available here => https://www.fullterrain.com/support#Orbxlibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffeven Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 When running the Global main installer I get to a point where it asks me to "insert a disk"... I don't have a disk. What do I do. Really appreciate your help Wolter. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffeven Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Got it! Problem was that I was executing the .exe file from the .zip file. Everythings fine now. Thanks so much for your help. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffeven Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just after everything loaded (apparently correctly) opened FSX... still no airport buildings. Do I have to uninstall previous edition first? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 must be something in your settings, set all sliders in a middle position and see if thinks start to appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffeven Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Took some screenshots of my settings, etc. but am unable to attach them. Setting all mid-level with scenery complexity: extremely dense and autogen density: dense and special effects detail: high. Also on my scenery library settings I have the following checked and active: FTXAA_ORBXLIBS FTX_AA_GLOBAL AIRPORTS ORBXIOPENLC_EUROPE ORBXIOPENLC_NAMERICA1 ORBXIOPENLC_BASE ADDON SCENERY MY TRAFFIC 2013 PROPELLER OBJECTS DEFAULT SCENERY GLOBAL, GENERIC & VEHICLE LIBRARIES LAS VEGAS 1107 BASE - 000 BASE DEFAULT TERRAIN Really sorry to be such a pest but it bothers me that everything was fine for so long and now... it's not. Thanks again, Wolter Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 loose the ground scenery cast shadows, has never functioned properly in fsX and also eats resources like hell, limit the frame rates to 30 max and a bit more info on your hardware and OS could be helpful as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffeven Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I know I'm a pain in the neck... sorry about that. I've made the adjustments you suggested and attached is the info on my system. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks, Wolter... here you go... Jeff Just a quick observation based on your screenshot of the scenery library... I notice you have "disabled" the default scenery? FTX Global will replace your textures and autogen, but it does not do anything to the remaining scenery elements (have a read of this guide to learn more about the various scenery "layers" and what each product does and doesn't do: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/74345-the-definitive-guide-to-ftx-products-the-go-to-source-of-ftx-information/ ) In other words, disabling your default scenery is going to disable a lot of stuff that you might just want to keep... (like airport buildings ). I'm also not seeing the specific default scenery items like Edwards AFB etc... are they just moved further down, or are they removed completely? Again, it's best not to touch the default entries... FTX product installers will fit the products into your scenery library around the default entries automatically, in the proper locations... Go ahead and turn your default scenery back on and see if that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffeven Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Geez, Rob... I don't know in what fit of madness I disabled those sceneries. YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! That was the problem. All's well now. Thanks to you and Wolter for the great support.. Jeff Even Rocklin, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
