I thought I would try the demo, but I am seeing an exception as soon as I try to launch it (Edit, I should add there is no way to uninstall):

Not sure about the demo, but in the full version, there's an 'FTX Central', with some large icons for 'Default FSX' scenery, and 'North America' scenery, which is for the PNW stuff. If you have that, make sure it's set to North America.

Server must be getting slammed, tried to download several times without success :( Guess I'll try later when things settle down somewhatSteve

Still don't know what's causing the exception I am seeing, so in the interim I manually edited my scenery.cfg to point to the demo scenery and I am exploring the area now.-John

yeah i did that. i found some airport in there and flew around and it looks nice from what i briefly saw. according to the demo map seattle should be in there but its just default scenery for me. nasty. would love to see seattle in this demo.

Seattle and KSEA are _not_ in the demo area. There is an included KMZ file in the demo ZIP file, which we recommend you load into Google Earth to see the extents of the demo area (the Olympic Peninsula outlined with a red boundary).We also recommend reading the User Guide :(

I can get you some screens from the full version :( Seattle is freakin' awesome in it.

I downloaded it and checked the .pdf manual. There is no mention of "uninstall" or "remove" at all. I can't bring myself to install this demo because I have FSX running very well after months of playing with settings. Can someone please post here some feedback once they install, check it out, and uninstall this demo somehow (control panel or otherwise)? I am too chicken to mess with a good thing.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure removal is as simple as deleting the Orbx subfolder from your FSX folder. Also, just a suggestion, but you might want to mirror your FSX folder to another hard drive. After spending weeks getting mine setup to where I was finally happy with everything, I copied the fsx folder to another drive for safe-keeping. Too much time & effort went into making that just right.

Uninstalling is done in two simple steps:1. Run the included FTX Central tool, select 'Default'2. Delete the ORBX folderThis of course assumes you don't have any other Orbx addons installed.

Any thoughts as to why I am seeing the exception I reported above?Regards,John

Hi John,I think you need Microsoft .NET 3.5 installed and it must be installed without Vista UAC enabled, At least this was the requirement for the Oz stuff they did.Steve
