I have bought orbx global, orbx vector, orbx newzealand north and south islands and also airports Queenstown, and Milford sound.. and Queenstown has like a wall around the runways like its sunk in the ground. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing and Milford sound the ground textures are not looking very good looks like bits are missing not very happy considering the price.. its like all the orbx products dont want to mesh together.. i am not really that experienced with flight sim to make it all work and would of thought orbx would of had a little more support or pointed me in the right direction help would be much appreciated i am running fsx steam and ftx central.. and i have purchased rex4 direct with soft clouds but don't want to install to i resolve this issue many thanx rosco

Presumably you have the Orbx libraries installed?

I'm surprised you criticise them for lack of support; in my opinion their support is superb. Have you actually posted your query on their forum?

Oh, and it's "would have" and NOT "would of". Twice in six words.....

run  the  aec  correction  tool  since  you got vectors(its all in the manual  that came  with the  addon)

Your best bet is to Google Orbx Support to get a link, then follow their instructions on how to join it.

The problems you are having aren't unique, they will likely have seen them before.

You need to put an Orbx purchase number in your email signature - if you are not sure on that ask on a forum there & someone will walk you through it.

There is a lot of support there, & I have used plenty of it.

I have had another look at your post. 

You will need something called "FTX Central" to make everything else you have run better. & the Libraries

You can get them off the Orbx site. I suggest you look at their "Support" section & follow what it has to say.

Also they have some good Freeware products if you want to branch out from NZ later. NZ is an excellent starting point, one of their best.

Make sure when you are looking at downloading something  [freeware or payware], you check at the bottom of the product page. It will tell you if you need something else to make it run.

Orbx tends to be a "Layer Cake" 

I think getting set up properly then running Vector might fix your problem.

Search the Orbx forums for  the problem you have seen it before.

did you download and install the freeware mesh for NZ from them? you will need that for Milford Sound to depict correctly
