simurq Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hope I didn't miss anything in this thread... But as being a long-time fan of AON and Norway in particular, can you please guide me as to where I can find detailed install instructions of freeware Norway sceneries atop Orbx Norway? I remember there were a couple of threads at AVSIM, now with this one here and flightsimnorway.com, Bridges X, GA airfields, Mesh X etc. I'm totally puzzled... Thanks!

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 In my first posting you have links to the scerneries. When downloaded they include a detailed installation manual in English/Norwegian, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amundsen Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 hmm ,however, there seems to be a landclass problem. did you have NSX LandClass aktive ? hmmm....I do not remember if I installed norwegian landclasses in the beginning of my P3D-career. But I'm sure that today my scenery.cfg does not contain anything covering scandinavia since I installed FTX NORWAY. Perhaps there are still some landclass files which did not removed from HDD. In this case: where could I find such files? (what file-extension do they use?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Nordberg Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Normally you would find them in folders NSX III or NSX II. NSX III replace all in NSX II,so that folder must be deleted. And, since you now use FTX Norway you can delete all of NSX III too. NSX III can be diveded in different folders, like water, alpin, Landclass, Woods and so on. All files have exstension .BGL.

Amundsen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Checked again for other folders - nothing concerning the Norway-area. No NSX-files! How can I find out whats going wrong? Is there any LC-file missing? Again: there is no difference between AON /NGA activated and deactivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Thomsen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Maybe you had this problem even before AoN/NGA was installed. It reminds me of similar problems I had with early versions of Vectors. As I don't use Vectors or OpenLC myself, I cannot reproduce this. But suggest a FTXN/Vectors conflict. Landclass files usually have the letters "CVX" in it.

Amundsen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Now I have located the area without any water-textures (coastlines are correct, saltwater displays): It is covering the area from N59.2 E5.20 to N61.50 E11.10 (not exact, captured only by spotview) Screenshots (the first JPG shows the sharp border to "desert-area"): https://www.dropbox.com/s/qsnthlhw7fuozoc/Norwegian%20desert%201.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/6f73ts52k83l11r/Norwegian%20desert%202.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvyssfxjmzyvgi0/Norwegian%20desert%203.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcibujvqmpjtuub/Norwegian%20desert%204.jpg?dl=0 Which files are responsable for this area? bevor you tried to find the needle in a haystack, i suggest you to reinstall FTX Norway,perhaps some files are not installed correctly. i could post a list of the LC files of FTX-Norway, if you want.

Amundsen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks a lot! After comparing your file list with my HDD, it seems that something must have gone wrong during installation or later. Found many files like ***winter.bgl.off.bgl or ***summer.bgl.off.bgl.off Now I will reinstall FTX NORWAY and be back tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simurq Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 One more question - are there any users with FSX SP2 running both FTX Norway and these freeware addons smoothly? I've been using AON since FS9 times and as a loyal fan would like to continue using the updated sceneries. I'll buy Orbx Norway anyway but would like to know if the latest AON is FSX-compatible (or can be made compatible) before downloading the monster packs. Thanks!

My PC isn't a highend-machine at all, but together with FTX NORWAY my VFR-flights between the AON-fields run very smoothly (P3D 2.4, A2A-Cherokee). Don't know how much glass-cockpits decrease the FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amundsen Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Problem with the "norwegian desert" solved! Reinstalling FTX NORWAY eliminated all bugs - there have been many strange filenames in the FTX_NOR-folders, so it was the better way to reinstall instead of seeking the needle in a haystack. Don't know what caused the renaming of so many files.... Anyway - all waters are back - thanks a lot to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amundsen Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks, Amundsen! But i was asking about FSX, not P3D. Have you also tested AON under FSX? oops....sorry. No, never used FSX. But FS9 is still in use, almost for IFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Nordberg Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Amundsen: I'm so happy that you have solved the problems, have some nice flying in Norway. simurq: I have both P3D v2.5 and FSX Gold Edition in use on my PC, and I use the same AON and NGA files for both sims. All my NGA files are made using FSX as a testbed because P3D have been constantly updated. Now I have tested all mine and AON in v2.5 together with FTX Norway, FTX Vector, FTX OpenLC EU and FTX Global Base, no problem. Norway have never been better in the flightsim world.

simurq Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I have a few elevation problems at ENJB (Jarlsberg) made by Marius Risan. See below images: I've done everything as instructed in the included readme, namely de-activated the following files: Inside "FSX/ORBX/FTX_EU/FTX_EU_NOR_05_SCENERY/Scenery" <-- Norway SP1 ADE_FTX_NOR_ENJB.bgl ADE_FTX_NOR_ENJB_CVX.bgl FTX_NOR_ENJB_objects.bgl Inside "Norway GA Airfields/scenery" <-- using the patched v2.90. ENJB_ADEX_JAN.bgl ENJB_ADEX_JAN_CVX.bgl Also, I'm including a copy of my scenery.cfg currently active on my PC: http://pastebin.com/2G3Tc9Md Thank you!!!

Hjerterknekt Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It don't seems like you have this active since scenery area and layer have (XX). Norway,also have to have higer priority than FTX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simurq Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No, the XXs are for representation purpose only and replaced by relevant numbers (in ascending order from top to down) in my actual scenery.cfg. E.g., [Area.252] Title=AoNN Airports Active=TRUE Layer=252 Required=FALSE Local=Norway_X\AoNN_Airports [Area.253] Title=Jarlsberg (ENJB) Active=TRUE Layer=253 Required=FALSE Local=Norway_X\ENJB_Jarlsberg [Area.254] Title=AndoyaX Lower Active=TRUE Layer=254 Required=FALSE Local=Norway_X\AndoyaX_Lower [Area.255] Title=AndoyaX Higher Active=TRUE Layer=255 Required=FALSE Local=Norway_X\AndoyaX_Higher Also, as I have indicated on top of my scenery.cfg posted here, ALL third-party Norway entries (AON, NGA, etc.) are above FTN Norway entries anyway. But still the same problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Your scenery.cfg shows that you installed this scenery: [Area.xx] Title=Jarlsberg (ENJB) Active=TRUE Layer=xx Required=FALSE Local=Norway_X\ENJB_Jarlsberg additionally to the "ENJB" files of GA2.90 Maybe that's the problem?

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Change th order of theese two: [Area.254]Title=AndoyaX LowerActive=TRUELayer=254Required=FALSELocal=Norway_X\AndoyaX_Lower[Area.255]Title=AndoyaX HigherActive=TRUELayer=255Required=FALSELocal=Norway_X\AndoyaX_Higher HIgher must be over lower.

simurq Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks Jack, but Andoya Higher is above Lower anyway in my scenery.cfg. You can see it in my post above - layer 255 (Andoya Higher) means it's higher priority than layer 254 (Andoya Lower). Going back to Jarlsberg, I still couldn't solve the mesh problem although tried disabling all files with ENJB in the filename inside both FTX Norway and NGA to no avail yet. So, deleted ENJB for now... Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Nordberg Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There is no way you can fix this problem, ENJB X have a totally wrong flatten. That's why you get those errors. The airstrip height is correct enough, but he made that flatten cover a large area around the airfield. For that reason I kept my non photo scenery in NGA 2.90. There you will have all slopes around the airstrip correct. But, I see now that I again, after SP1, will have to find a new texture for the area on the southwest part. If you still prefer the photoscenery you may do exactely what you have done in NGA. Just for a test I copied the photoscenery bgl into my ground folder, and it worked for me. But I will not say you should do so. Maybe Marius Risan will fix it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Nordberg Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Think you can see the problem in these two Pictures. ENJB X all flatt ENJB NGA 2.90 with slopes around the airport flatten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Nordberg Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Simurq: There is one more file in NGA you will need to take out, CVX_ENJB_Mesh.bgl. You will see why in Your Picture No 3. Look at the steep edge along the road, that's where the road should have been, but as you can see his flatten goes way further out in all directions. All other faults goes back to that flatten. It'll be Your Choice, flat photo or not. Regarding the rest, I think you will find the buildings are much the same standard, except in the South end and Southwest side.

simurq Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks a lot, Jannor! Yes, I'd noticed that particular mesh file too but deactivating it didn't help either. Anyway, I've decided to switch to ENJB of NGA which is also good until Marius makes an update. Thanks!
