xpara Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi guys. I'm new to Orbx and have an issue with the install. I installed FTX Global and got an unhandled exception error when FTX Central opened. So searching the forum here I went installed the Openlibs file which got FTX Central working but now P3D V2 won't even start. I get the splash screen and it goes through a loading new terrain process then just dumps out. One item of note is that I noticed that FTX appears to have installed a ton of .bmp file in the folder where I put the orbx zip files. Any ideas?

Nick Cooper Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The "ton of .bmp files" is probably the back up of the original P3D texture files. If so, you will have been offered the option to choose which folder they were backed up to. To avoid too much pure guesswork, would you mind answering the following few question please. When you ran the installer, did you check to make sure that it was going to put the new files into the exact location of your P3Dv2 folder? Can you remember or reproduce the error message that FTX Central generated? I suspect it may have been that the terrain.cfg could not be found. Did you ensure that you installed the correct, P3D version 2 library and did you check to ensure that the library installer placed the files into your P3D v2 install location? Have you installed any of your other products yet? Finally, if the answer to the first three questions is no, would you mind running the library installer again, as far as the point where it tells you where it will install to and confirm or otherwise that this location is where the P3Dv2 folder actually is. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpara Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 The backup files yes that makes sense. Yes exact P3Dv2 folder was selected I can't reproduce it since the openlibs fixed it. Yes Openlibs P3Dv2 was installed. There's an Orbx folder in the P3Dv2 root folder. FTX AA OpenLibs is installed in the FTX AU folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thank you. Please try opening FTX Central, selecting Global and clicking on Apply Group. It may take a few seconds to do this, so please wait for it. Then see if P3D will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpara Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 I did this step after FTX Central started working. If you need me to do it again I'll give it shot after work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpara Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ok I solved my issue. I ran a procedure monitor while starting P3D and found that somehow I had FSUIPC4 installed and Simconnect. Removed FSUIPC4 and all is well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thank goodness, I honestly had no idea what to suggest next and would never have suspected FSIUPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
