SAWT Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello, There maybe be a problem with one or both of the updated FTX Global Freeware North America & Europe packs released today. I have just installed them and made a test flight from the ORBX Palm Springs airport. As you will see in the attached picture I have canyons along the roads and the airport terminal is not correct. The Palm Springs scenery was working correctly immeadiatly before I installed the North America and Europe packs. I had this problem previously after installing an addon (I don't know which one) which is why I tried out Palm Springs. I am using Prepar3d v2.5 which I installed on to a clean computer (i.e. just the OS). All of the Prepar3d-ready scenery that ORBX have released has been installed and tested. I have no non-ORBX scenery installed. Fortunatly I always make a disk image before installing anything new so I can use this to restore Prepar3D. I will be interested to hear if anyone else has similar issues and if there is a work-around. I haven't looked at many of the other airports I have installed but the few I did look at appear OK.

Ed Correia Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The KPSP installer actually disables the freeware files, but obviously what has now happened is that they are reinstalled. Doing a search in the ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS\ folder for KPSP will find those offending files, simply delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello SAWT Jarrad Marshall posted a fix for a previous conflict with the Orbx Freeware KPSP and KBNG and I have listed this below. 'This will be the most likely cause of your problems. This is Neil's freeware rendition of KPSP; our payware Palm Springs installer includes a script to remove this file so I'm sorry I'm not sure why it didn't clean it up for you. No worries, it will be an easy fix: 1. Go to your ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS\Scenery folder 2. Find the following two files and rename them: ADE_FTX_FTXG_KPSP.BGL rename to ADE_FTX_FTXG_KPSP.BGL.OFF ADE_FTX_FTXG_KPSP_CVX.bgl rename to ADE_FTX_FTXG_KPSP_CVX.bgl.OFF 3. For good measure, in the same folder, find and rename these two files too: ADE_FTX_FTXG_KBNG.BGL rename to ADE_FTX_FTXG_KBNG.BGL.OFF ADE_FTX_FTXG_KBNG_CVX.bgl rename to ADE_FTX_FTXG_KBNG_CVX.bgl.OFF Those last two files are Neil's version of Banning Municipal - this is one of the two additional fields included with (the payware) KPSP and will also have clashes if Neil's version hasn't been removed.' If you have already applied the fix to your installation then both KPSP and KBNG have been loaded again to your installation with you loading the new Freeware Airports cancelling out your previous ammendments to these files. What you should do to correct the problem is 1) If you have not previously repaired your setup just follow Jarrad's instructions as above 2) If you have already added OFF to the above files you will see that another two files have been added to your setup putting these files back in again. Just delete these two bgl files and leave your original ones showing.OFF Hope this all makes sense Kind regards Ian Ed, you beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWT Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi Ed and Ian, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have just restored my computer as I mentioned I would in my post so tomorrow I will install the Global NA and Europe airports again and do as you have suggested. I am sure that will fix the problem. Once again many thanks for responding. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Could you also just re-install KPSP after installing the recent Global Freeware Pack? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Disregard the above post, re-installing doesn't work. Thanks Ian, had the same problem as Shaun and it works like a charm Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWT Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi, I have just applied the fix and everything is as it should be. Once again, many thanks for you help. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolf8857 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 By ckecking this scenery folder I found these appropriate files in both named ways: With&without OFF extention. so I let the "OFF" in place and deleted the others for KBNG and KPSP. I even deleted the object files for them too, is that ok? because these where double too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 See, as a rule, if something similar happens to me, and it happened, I reinstall the software! I did and I fix the issue! Cheers, iPhone-Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sometimes his install script doesn't seem to delete the files and instead leaves the .bgl and the .bgl.off both in there. I had to manually delete the .bgl's and just left the copies of the .bgl.off files in place as they are the same file anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
