I have installed and successfully run the ORbx EU ENG package and I love it, it looks fantastic and runs super smooth on my system. I haven't had it clash with any of my other add on sceneries or aircraft until recently. I was taking off from St Just at lands end in the Flight 1 BN-2 Islander over to St Mary's on the Scilly Isles, for which I have the Earthy Simulations Isles of Scilly add on, which actually looks better than ORBX and is a fantastic must have for anyone who flies to these little islands. Anyway, I digress, as I took off and passed over the coast at Lands End, I had fields where the Atlantic should have started! I still had little outcrops of Islands and some even complete with lighthouses, but I had fields and trees all the way to where the Isles of Scilly scenery started. I tried moving things around in my scenery library so that I had Orbx below everything I have added for the UK (Scilly Isles, mega airport Heathrow etc) and still had the problem. The only way I can get rid of it is if I turn off Orbx, so I can only assume that it is causing the problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem with the ENG scenery pack, or any other packages that might be able to help me? I don't know why it worked for weeks and then decided to have a meltdown, I put that down to one of the many known FSX instabilities and mood swings. I'd love to get this great scenery working again, and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer.

 

Thanks in advance!

I had similar problems using FranceVFR. I posted a support query but as of yet I've been ignored.

 

The only way I found round it was to save, close, disable EU England and reopen. Really stupid for just crossing the channel.

 

I won't be getting anymore of their EU scenery packs, as it's crazy to have to switch regions for such a "small area"

Certainly worth reporting to ORBX. I believe they have a Service Pack in preparation addressing a list of reported issues.

Totally agree!

 

I went from initial excitement at the FTX ENG release, to uninstallation and the decision never to buy from Orbx again - until they get rid of this awful, clunky "FTX Central" method of switching areas. I too had many issues when flying outside of the UK, with FTX EU still active. Germany became a blurry mess and Norway was completely screwed up too. It's just not on, the degree by which FTX Central can screw up your FSX installation, scenery-wise. I'm out.
