Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I have all of the UK installed and it's very detailed. I thought Australia would be the same but it seems a lot different, it looks like almost no difference between the (yech) GEX Australia I have installed and the Orbx Australia region. I have no global, yet. Could someone please tell me what the coordinates are of the Australia region screenshots on the main page? I'd really like to go there and compare and see if it looks the same. Australia is a huge continent so it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to try to find those areas. I can see a difference in the houses so there mush be some difference, but I don't see those beautiful coasts. Where do I go for them? I would really appreciate any help at all. Best regards and thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence aldrich Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sounds to me like you need Global and Vector........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Aus was Orbx first big release some ten or more years ago..The only real update that I am aware of was the release of SP4. If you don't have that you may want to get it, other than that what you see is what you get. As an Aussie, I have to say that I find the package fine, and you can purchase many addons or DL the 300 or so airstrips for free from Ozx. Teecee. PS. I don't think Global and Vector change much in Aus Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks guys, Global and Vector next then. But can anyone at all tell me the coordinates of those screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 But can anyone at all tell me the coordinates of those screenshots? I've often wished the SLEW info could be made available for product shots like that ... so we could set them up ourselves and compare. Maybe not on the actual pics (don't want to spoil them) but in a linked text file - or in a mouseover tooltip. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Adam, so there's no way for me to find out where those locations are? Australia is huge. Would anyone on this forum know do you think? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sounds to me like you need Global and Vector........ Sounds to me like he forgot to set Central to Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nope, first thing I thought of. It was set to Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi, You should post some screenshots with coordinates and information of flight so that's easier to investigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Just took of from Sydney Kingsford. This last one the runway texture is not the way I set it to high-res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Jack, you came out of the worst airport in Aus, no one has ever done a decent update for this airport, as you will see if you search the forums. other than that what is your complaint here?

Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Oh, I had no idea. I'm sorry if I seem to be complaining but it just doesn't look any different than the default FSX. Can you give me a better place to go to look and see a difference? I disabled GEX and checked it and no difference. I do have all the Australia selected in the scenery library and Oceania is selected in FTX Central. Please remember I am new to Orbx and am learning.

Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ok, another set of questions about FTX Central 2. I installed Australia, it looks fine but I WISH I could find those areas where the screenshots were taken. This is what happens. FTX Central 2 Settings Tools FTX Aero - Build 1.0.3.0 March 2012 Coarse 2048 x 2048 Yellow and Black Click Apply "Aero has detected that the following file has been updated since Aero was last run." Four boxes: OK to overwrite files in FSX Copy file to your own backup Make file the Aero default Do nothing with this file What should I do?

Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi there, looks like FTX AU isn't properly installed and GEX remains active; see my screenshots below of the same area. They are taken in P3Dv2 but the textures and autogen are the same in FSX. Do you have the 13 FTXAU... entries in your scenery library menu plus FTXAA_ORBXLIBS? Did you install the current Orbx libraries from our support page as the last step and then cycled FTX Central to Oceania and hit Apply? Do you have any add-on landclass entries at higher display priority that might overwrite the FTX AU files? Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks for helping Holger. The first thing I did was to use the GEX control panel and disable Australia. So I know it's disabled. I am downloading FTX Global right now but it will take a while and I plan on uninstalling GEX all the way. I do not like it. Here are the screenshots from my scenery library I just took. It looks like I have not 13 but 14 AU listings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Jack, deactivating the SceneryTech Indo-Pacific landclass should do the trick. Alternatively, change its position to underneath the FTX block. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thank you Holger, when you say underneath the FTX block can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Jack, that would be at Priority position lower than 38 in your current layout of the scenery library menu. The idea is to keep third-party landclass add-ons like ST at lower display priority than the Orbx/FTX entries so that you have the correct Orbx scenery within Australia while still seeing the ST landclass in the remainder of its South-Pacific coverage area. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 I disabled Indo-Pacific and it helped. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
