Hi

     I was flying down by Monterey Ca with Ftx Global Hybrid checked & the ocean never appeared, just land where the ocean was supposed to be, I then went in & changed the Ftx  Central to North America & the problem was resolved with the same great scenery. Is this the correct way to select global vs N/A or any other areas? I could not determine if this was the right way after reading the Ftx user guide.

 

                                                                                        Thanks

I really don't believe that should've happened. You should've had the ocean show up even having FTX Global active and Hybrid checked. I have not flown there though to see if I have that problem.

 

Last week I flew out of Honolulu and I had land textures in the water. I went to the ORBX forum , explained what the problem was, and showed a couple of screen shots, and I had a response in less that 24 hours. For some reason I was missing 32 texture (bmp) files from the C:\.......\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\World\Texture directory. The bmp files were from 301bsu1.bmp through 360b2su1.bmp. There should be 180 (which I only had 148) of the files starting with the number 3. Like I stated, I have no idea why all of a sudden I was missing those 32 files. One of the developers/designers sent me a zipped file of all 180 files. I placed them into the ....\Texture directory, and everything was good to go.

 

However, when I had the problem, I went into FTX Central, uncheck and checked boxes and it didn't make a difference until I had the 180 files from Orbx. So I possibly had a totally different problem as you do.

 

This may be a long shot, but, I recommend you go to that directory and ensure you have the 180 bmp files as I stated.

 

If you don't have the 180 files, let me know and send me a PM. I will send you the zip file that I received from Orbx.

Hi Rod,

           I went into the\Texture directory & the files were all there(I counted 198  but my count could be off a couple). I also have Utx USA,Canada,Alaska & Europe installed & they are listed in the first 15 or so slots in the scenery library in Fsx.followed by my other airports & scenery entries.I probably will go over to the Ftx forum later today & see whats up.

                                                                                     Thanks for your help

Hi

    Okay I went over to the ftx suport forum & saw where someone else had a similar problem except water where land was supposed to be & it was suggested that he go back into Ftx central & reselect the area he wanted, I did this also reselecting ftx global hybrid instaed of North America & it worked so all is well now.
