FTX GLOBAL Not Working

[onlyvips]

Hi Guys

I am having an issue with FTX Global in FSX STEAM

I have never had fsx boxed in my current PC (it was installed on my old pc - uninstalled now)

I installed it onto my FSX steam and there is no changes to the ground scenery

The night lighting is not working except for roads (in the boxed edition there was lights everywhere)

I have updated to the latest libraries as well

Can anyone advise me on this

Thanks

Yeah I think I am with you here, I just bought FTX Global and it seems that it is not working. I really don't see a difference in the terrain, looks nothing like the videos I see.

Hi

 

Have you followed these instructions, taken from FTX Global Manual.

 

Quick Installation Guide  The Orbx FTX Global uses the flightsimstore.com FSS security wrapper to validate your order number, registration code and order date which then recognizes your legitimate purchase of the software and unencrypts the installer files and proceeds with the installation.   

STEP INSTRUCTIONS 

1 Unzip the FlightSimStore.com (FSS) downloaded ZIP file. NOTE: You cannot run the install from inside the ZIP file. Always extract it to a separate folder on your desktop before running the installer executable. You should end up with between 9 and 10 data files, this PDF user guide and the FSS installer application. 

2 Run the installer app. It should be named something like OrbxFTXGlobal100.exe 

3 Fill in the Order Number, Date and Key when requested. This information would have been emailed to you when you purchased the download of FTXG from FSS. To ensure accuracy you can copy and paste the data from your email received from FSS. 

4 The wrapper will unwrap the Orbx installer, which will then run and present the opening installation screen. Please acknowledge the EULA page and continue. You cannot choose a destination folder, since all Orbx products are installed into the ORBX folder in the simulator root folder 

5 If you have previously installed Orbx regions, the installer will run FTX Central and ask you to set it to Default. This is an important step!   

6 BACKUP OPTION  

IMPORTANT! The FTX Global installer will then ask if you want to backup your \Scenery\World\Texture folder. If you choose not to do this, you cannot uninstall FTX Global. We recommend that you backup your previous textures so you can revert back. The installer allows you to specify any location including driver letters, so an external HD drive is possible. 

7 Once the Orbx installer has performed the backup (if selected) it will copy all the relevant files into your FSX/P3D folders, then you will be prompted to run FTX Central. When you do so, FTX Central runs its initial file management routines, then presents the opening screen. 

8 When the main FTX Central screen is shown, simply select the FTX Global region and click the Apply button.  You will hear a confirmation 'ding' and you are ready to fly!  

We’ll cover more specific information about FTX Central in the pages below.  

 

If not then this is your problem.

 

Kind regards
