P3D v4.5 and ORBX FTX Global...

Featured Replies

Lockheed Martin\prepared v4\ORBX\User documents\versions\ delete FTX_AA_ORBXLIBS.TXT

Run ftx central again and the needed files will be downloaded and installed.

Going back on topic.

I updated Cliënt + Content. I only opened and closed FTX Central. 

Looks so far so good.

I remember Poppet advising to delete the FTX AA ORBXLIBS.txt file and then launch FTX Central, which then will give a message to re/install ORBXLIBS.

What do you think ?

Aha great tip thanks forgot that one 🙄

It seems that landclass for urban/towns/cities has some kind of night time random lights added to the areas, I am seeing a mix of red and white point lights. Not sure if this looks great to be honest, I preferred just the BM vector lights before 

Don't need to delete the orbxlibs.txt file, can just verify files in FTX central and it does the same thing. Had like 127mb of files to download so I'm assuming the content update overwrote some stuff.

Does it mean even FTX Global gets "enhanced" by the updates in 4.5 ?

I believe the answer would be "yes".

I don't know the specifics, but I think the nighttime improvements were in the rendering methods being used and enhancing certain global shaders - making it applicable to essentially everything.

I don't do a ton of night flying, but I will certainly be checking it all out.

Thank you guys.

In my case it was simple - I didn't have P3d installed, so I made a fresh install of P3D and then installed ORBX FTX Global, and did update the Libraries, and actually did run a file check when I saw that option (hadn't seen it before, I must confess...) 

OTOH, if doing this overwrites files installed by the P3D install I wonder if that's not a "problem"...

Anyway guys, each time I install a new update of P3D, and while it lasts on my rig ( ya know me... I'm that guy... the "Uninstaller" :-))) ) I always feel puzzled with the smoothness I get compared to previous versions, specially because nothing, other than updated NVidia drivers, has changed, the system being exactly the system I bought in 2011 to be able to run MS FLIGHT 🙂  ( Oh.... MS-FLIGHT.... oh MS-FLIGHT.... I miss it so much ... )
