August 8, 20196 yr I wonder if that means the other type of backup also won't work? (the one you get when you tell it to download and install and make a backup) | Dave | I've been around for most of my life. There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.
August 8, 20196 yr It's a shame that a company like ORBX, whose products I really love and use every day, is making the upgrade to it's own system so unreliable and difficult. In this day and age, moving from one version of a system SHOULD BE a simple click and verification asking if that's what you want to do. Is SHOULD NOT wipe things out, infringe upon the users time significantly, and make a THREAD like this one go 5 pages outlining many simmers frustrations. After all, we are using a product that will add to a company's profit and viability. I guess that's all I have to say...and I will be a non-buyer of ORBX products until they resolve this issue and not inconvenience me to such a great extent. Stan

It feels like things are getting over the Orbx head lately : TE GB with still FPS issues over London because these 3M building blocks instead of adding them by the CP in 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%. And now with their FTX Central 4, which they did only test with Orbx products installed...

August 8, 20196 yr Oh what a mess. With this new invention of Orbx, it is then at all possible to change the scenery order?. Is it possible to deactivate scenery?. I have all my scenery installed with the xml method and what I understand I cant change anything. No scenery can be deactivated with huge loading times as a result. Will we be able to get any help from Addon Organizer otherwise I do not know ... /Thomas Thomas ( Sundsvall, ESNN, Sweden) MSFS 2024, Intel 9 9900K Oc 5 GHZ 16MB, Corsair Hydro H150i PRO RGB 360mm, ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB ROG, 2 Corsair Force M2 MP600 1TB+500Gb, ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO Z390 MB, Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200Mhz CL16, Fractal Design Define S2 Vision, Win 10 Home, BenQ 32" PD3200U 4K IPS monitor A2A Comanche, WB Sim Cessna 152

Orbx really made this decision??? You've got to be kidding me. Unreal. People are going to blow through their data caps re-downloading everything again.
August 8, 20196 yr IMHO......The ONLY thing that will correct all of this is to boycott ORBX. That's what I will do until it is all made easy and reliable to upgrade.....with very minimal effort. I can live very easily with what I have now and buy scenery from some other vendor. NO UPGRADE for me at this time with ORBX. Money talks! Stan Edited August 8, 20196 yr by spilok
August 9, 20196 yr After they forced FTC Central 3.0 onto everyone I froze my system with FTX Central 2.0 and have not bought anything since. Although I do like their products, just not the way they make them available. Living out in the country with limited band width was the real show stopper for me. If I want to buy one airport I should be able to download that airport and install it manually, I don't need or want FTX Central, wish they would of given us a choice. Cheers Martin

I have downloaded all installation files before because I was never able to achieve proper download speeds with FTX Central. Until all issues are solved I will not be buying any new product.

In the Prepar3D Scenario screen via the Add-Ons button at the bottom, or - once your flight is loaded - via the menu: Options -> Add-ons. It's been like that for a while.

I also stopped buying from ORBX. In addition to imposed policies, I no longer like performance. Priority photoscenery are today. Of course there are costs. I had to spend money on two SSD. But there is a big plus. Stuttering disappeared and FPS increased. And of course a real photo under the wing! In jurisprudence, there is a principle - you look for the person who benefits.
August 9, 20196 yr I only purchase for P3DV4XX and nothing has been released that interest me for months I am not a GA flyer and have no interest in the TE series. and the OLC seems to keep being pushed back for other more important thing like XP, so I will stay with FTX Central 3. Raymond Fry.
August 9, 20196 yr I guess that I will be forced to upgrade when TrueEarth GB Central is released for P3D v4, as that is the scenery package at the very top of my wanted list.
