manta Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi, I have positively installed in my Pc the following: FSGlobal-Vector-Landclass & Ultimate Mesh plus third parties addons in HDD C: --> FSX/SE and at the same time I have installed FTX plus airports in HDD F: --> P3D. So far so good. But then I opted for comparing FTX in FSX/SE & P3D so i decided to install FTX in Steam Edition also (so I had for a moment FTX in HDD C: for the Steam Edition & FTX for P3D in an other HDD). The installation of my first region: PNW went well though around Orcas island I have forests in place of inlets' water. Installing Kors airport didn't change a thing. I got people flow, hangars and everything else you expect to have in a FTX airport addon, but always the same forest around Orcas island. So I'm asking to myself if it is possible to have FTX in the same pc though installed in two different HDDs and at the same time in FSX/SE & also P3D. Thanks for your support.

Flyer024 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have the same problem. I also have a forest north of Concrete instead of a big lake and many rivers are "dry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 please check the the OLC entries are below all other FTX entries in your scenery Control Panel, maybe a have a read at this => How to configure openLC scenery library entries.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer024 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Goeie middag Wolter, No joy. The entries were already ok. I have the latest Vector 1.20 new install that was released this weekend. And I have also changed the bgl file in vector that had to do with KPSP and water is land in NCA. And ofcourse the latest ORBX libs installed as last. ps, with FTX Global activated the lake and rivers are back again and the land around Orca is again water.

manta Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi there, I have disabled all the entry sceneries regarding OL but the issue remained the same. It seems more like FTX doesn't like to be installed twice at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 did you also run the latest library files after the install ? did you try and switching FTX Central to Global(default) and back to a region hitting Apply on both counts ?

Hi Walter, of course I did everything you asked and more, but no good outcome so far. This is what i get: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TymK Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I had parallel installs running fine, so it's possible, but you need to be careful. Having forests instead of water can indicate an issue with terrain.cfg rather than scenery.cfg. I assume FTX PNW works fine in P3D for you? You could try copying the P3D terrain.cfg to FSX, but make sure you keep a backup of the original one. Also (sorry if it's a silly question), are you sure you have run the right FTX Central (there are separate ones for FSX and P3D)? One more thing: I once messed up by using the registry "trick" to install FSX add-ons into P3D and forgetting to change it back. IIRC, the FSX FTX Central could be manipulating P3D cfg files in this case... Tym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi TymK, I assume FTX PNW works fine in P3D for you? Yes it works fine. you could try copying the P3D terrain.cfg Done it but that didn't change a thing... are you sure you have run the right FTX Central yes double checked it the registry "trick" to install FSX add-ons into P3D and forgetting to change it back if you are meaning the Migration Tool, I didn't use it at least on a new Prepar3D 2.5 install and on FSX/Se.

TymK Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Fabio, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, I'm afraid I've run out of ideas... I assume your scenery.cfg file in your FSX-SE directory contain all the standard entries like "ORBX FTX-PNW custom vectors 1 of 68", "ORBX FTX-NA custom polys 1 of 28" etc.?

TymK Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 As far as scenery.cfg is concerned, everything seems fine. I was more concerned about terrain.cfg, can you check it to see if it contains the entries I mentioned in the previous post? Tym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TymK Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 One more thing: I accidentally ran into a thread which mentioned that there's an issue with Vector which has similar symptoms (trees in water bodies). Before a fix is released, it can be solved by switching frozen lakes to OFF in Vector configuration, perhaps it's also worth a try... Tym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before a fix is released, it can be solved by switching frozen lakes to OFF in Vector configuration, perhaps it's also worth a try... Tym Of course. Had to fix this issue unchecking the option on the Vector configurator tool on account of ice caps building over Courchevel sloped runway!!! But doing that didn't help me sorting out the forests in place of water around Kors. As far as scenery.cfg is concerned, everything seems fine. I was more concerned about terrain.cfg, can you check it to see if it contains the entries I mentioned in the previous post? Tym I have checked them out and, based on my knoweledge, I didn't spot any mistake in there, though that doesn't change the fact that most likely my terrain file is biased. I've been installing in P3D FSGlobal and so far it's ok around Orcas island. Let's see what happens with FSVector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TymK Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I've seen some more reports of similar issues (e.g. here: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/93769-problems-with-blue-usacanada-pacific-northwest-textures/#entry852237), and the common thread seems to be Vector... I only use regions, and I've never run into that issue... Looks like something for the team to investigate further... Tym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
