ANSWERED Newbie question about FTX Central 2 and how to make active.

[Jack Sawyer]

I just bought and installed Sedona.  So now if I want to fly around Sedona do I have to have Global active or is okay to leave it on North America?  I kind of don't understand how this works.

 

Thanks

Sedona is a global airport , so global should be the active area .

I see.  So I have to decide ahead of time.  What would happen if I made a mistake and had England selected and set the plane up at Sedona?

[BradB]

No biggie , try it both way's and you will notice the difference .

IIRC, even leaving FTX Central on North America and starting off from Sedona is not a terrible thing, either.  The blending of the terrain with the surrounding area may be a slight issue.

G'day Jack, 

 

Everything in the Sedona coverage area will not change irrespective of what region you have FTX Central set to. The differences will be found, however, in the terrain outside of the photoreal coverage area. Either FTX Global or FTX North America will work perfectly fine, the visual differences around Arizona (and indeed the US in general) will be negligible between the two. If you have your region set to Europe, Oceania etc you will notice terrain anomalies (odd-looking landclass etc) and possibly incorrect autogen types. 

 

Cheers,

Jarrad

Thank you all for explaining this to me. I appreciate it.

I have to tell you, Orbx stuff is absolutely brilliant. I was stunned by what I saw at Sedona. I flew a circuit in the A2A Cherokee with the GTN750 and made a nice landing on 03. The scenery and the detail on the airport are amazing, makes me want to fly there someday and have a look.

Cheers.
