Missing OLC scenery folder after FTX Global install

After installing FTX Global, FSX complains that it can't find ORBX\FTX_OLC\OLC_EU1\SCENERY and indeed on checking it isn't there.  There is a texture folder in ORBX\FTX_OLC\OLC_EU1\ but no scenery folder.  Should there be one?  I have applied the latest libs.  This query has been on the Orbx support forum for a week without any response (I guess due to all the "noise" surrounding the NoCal release) so I thought I would seek assistance here.  Thanks

 

Thanks

Bruceb,

 

Yep...I just checked my directories and I have a scenery folder in my OLC_EU1 folder.  And, there is the Baltic15.bgl file in that folder.  What if you create the scenery folder and see what happens?

 

Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks.  I created the scenery folder to get rid of the FSX error but I don't think it inserted the Baltic15.bgl file but will recheck when I get back to Oz after a six week stay in New Zealand.  Is Baltic15.bgl the only file in that directory?  May have to do an FTX Global reinstall.  This was for an brand new FSX install and on reflection, as it is a FSX default texture replacement, I wonder if I should have installed it first before all my other scenery addons particularly the Aerosoft ones which in the past have thrown up issues with orbx stuff.

Yeah..Baltic15.BGL is the only file in the directory.  I don't know what scenery that .bgl file is for. The only scenery I had installed at the time I installed FTX Global was other Orbx/FTX scenery.  I have no Aerosoft scenery, or any other scenery installed.

 

Hope it works out for you.

Baltic15.bgl is an Open Landclass demo.

You can read about it here

http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/63012-openlc-demo-tallinn-coverage/?hl=%2Bbaltic+%2Bdemo

 

Perhaps you you search your PC for the file name, see where it may have been moved to

and move it back?

 

I have added this reply to your topic at the FTX support forum, perhaps a further suggestion may follow.

 

Regards,

Nick

 

 

Thanks Nick for this and the post on the Orbx forum.  It is going to be few weeks before I am back home in Australia so will look into this again then.

Back in Australia after 9 weeks across the ditch (ie in NZ).  I note that my request for help on the Orbx forum has no reply from Orbx staff after 2 months - I guess they have more pressing matters.  As suggested have searched for Baltic15.bgl and it can't be found and I now seem to have other FTXGlobal related hassles.  I understand that after installing FTXGlobal a Hybrid mode tick box should be added to FTX Central but it is not there on my FTX Central.  Also there is no tick box for Vector road lights when default is selected (according to the FTXGlobal manual this should be there).

 

So what to do?  The obvious thing I suppose is a re install yet again  (I have already done this twice).  However if there are other options I would be grateful for suggestions.

 

Thank you.

Hi Bruceb....just throwing in my two cents, as I'm definitely not an expert. Did you install the latest Orbx Libraries (dated 140405)after you installed FTXGlobal? I think that may give you the Hybrid and Vector Road Lights box options.

 

Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks Rod.  Its some three months ago when I last looked at this but my recollection is that I did install the latest libs. Never-the-less I will give it another try as this suggestion has come up elsewhere after a web search on this issue.  It that doesn't work then I will try another reinstall from fresh downloads.

OK reinstalled libs and that doesn't' work.  Still no hybrid and vector lights with default.  Bit stumped now apart from a reinstall.

Further update, the reinstall from a fresh download fixed these issues - I now have hybrid mode, vector lights and baltic15.bgl.  Suspect my problems were all related to the unhandled exception error I got during my original installs - possibly due to corrupt downloads.  Thanks to all who provided assistance.  I will post an update on the Orbx forum.
