[johnhelmer]

any work around to run this on a Xp machine. Like a fool I purchased without noticing the "not supported on Windows XP" notice..completely my fault// am I completely stuck or is there a work around?

I'm afraid I can't really help - but I'm intrigued, because XP was (is) such a good O/S. I have to say Win7 is very similar in that respect ... just all the versions in-between (Vista) that were *awful*.

 

I'm wondering whether installing the latest .net (all versions) could help here.

Hi John,

 

Unfortunately there is no workaround that I'm aware of to get .NET 4.5 installed on Windows XP. We do not have enough resources to support an operating system that Microsoft itself has stopped supporting (as of 8 April 2014).

 

However, the textures can be manually copied from the following directories into Scenery\Global\Texture:

• ORBX\Scripts\FTXTreesHD\Custom.xx with xx being replaced by your current region.


• ORBX\Scripts\FTXTreesHD\ORBX_AGN_New\texture
  

 

And the following files placed in Scenery\Global\Scenery:

• ORBX\Scripts\FTXTreesHD\ORBX_AGN_New\scenery
  

 

Note that you will most likely need to copy the files every time you switch regions in FTX Central (although turning off "Use Orbx Trees" might make this less frequent).

 

If you need any further assistance, let me know and I'll write up a more in-depth guide.

Decided to "bite the bullet" and try this - and it works!   Didn't notice anything about an XP warning when I purchased it though.
