ACTIVE Messed up / blurry terrain with FTX/ORBX Global

[Daniel Wierckx]

Hi guys,

 

I am currently running FSX Steam edition on my Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate machine with the following specs:

 

i7 4790K processor @ 4.4Ghz

GTX970 graphics card

16GB ram

FSX installed on a Crucial MX100 SSD

 

I am running these add-ons:

ORBX Global

ORBX Europe

ORBX Vectors

REX

 

I am having some issues with my terrain though. I made the following screenshots to show:

 

 

The first and second one are taken at Sint Maarten. Now, I might be picky, but in my opinion the ground looks flat and not like it's supposed to look.

 

The third screenshot was taken in London and is just straightout buggy. The terrain just bugs out completely and it's like the textures won't load properly.

 

I have tweaked A LOT of things so far, all without a good result.

I'm at a loss right now as to what else I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Daniel

 

Maybe start by confirming these basics: Also as an FYI there is a designated FSX SE section here:   http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/forum/188-fsx-steam-edition-support-forum/

 

 

Set FTX Central to Global and put a check in the Hybrid mode box, then click apply.

 

Make sure mesh resolution is set at 5m.

 

Reinstall the latest Orbx libs.

 

Do a scenery cache flush.

 

Run the Auto AEC tool in Vector after every scenery change.

Hi Daniel,

 

welcome to Orbx!

 

Can you please provide order numbers for Global Base, Vector, and openLC? We can confirm your order numbers for the airports and regions in our database but not any of the global products.

 

Cheers, Holger
