What has always worked for me, when I get that message, is to run EZCA Config.exe program, then start P3D. I've learned to do this every time after I add new aircraft. Rod

Carlos, I stated that in my post. I wonder if he has come back to this thread and seen our responses. Rod

When did you purchase and download FTX England? The reason I ask, is if you download the latest version from where you purchased it from, you wouldn't install the patch 1 because it's already included. All you need to install would be Service Pack 5 from the FTX website. www.fullterrain.com/product/eng Hope this helps. Rod

Hi Everyone, I'm the developer of KLAR. Sorry for missing that, and thanks for reporting. As soon as I get back onto my system, maybe early next week, I'll be able to check it out, and, get an update into the next group of the FTX Global Freeware Airports. Rod

Do as Jay explained above. If you want to keep the "detect crashes and damage" checked, try this: This is from Rob also. Fix for landing gear problem: Open the aircraft.cfg in notepad and fix the contact point as follows: [contact_points] Change point.1=1, -8.04, -5.40,...............3,1......200 To period instead of a comma. Should look like this: point.1=1, -8.04, -5.40,.........3.1......200. Hope this helps, and is what you were looking for. Rod

Noel, A possible fix is to reinstall the Orbx Libs. Hopefully that will work. I don't have Palm Springs loaded on my system, but I've found out that everytime you install another Orbx scenery, reinstall the libraries. I don't think reinstalling the libraries makes any difference for the elevation issues. Disable the AEC for KSEA, that should fix the elevation issue there. Hope this helps. Rod

Hope this will help. You need to install the latest version of FTX Global, which is 1.30 for FSX and P3Dv2. It has the triple installer for FSX, P3D v1, and P3Dv2. I didn't even think v1.1 was P3D2.4 ready. And, I'm not sure why FSX would be crashing because of it. I have FSX and P3D v2.4 installed on the same drive, with FTX Global v1.30 installed for both FSX and P3Dv2.4 and have no problems. Again, hope this helps.....Rod

I think installing, or reinstalling, the latest Orbxlibs will solve your problem. Rod

Kramerdc9, Do you have the latest Orbx libs installed. If you go into FTX Central, Tools, Reports, then click FTX Products Installed, you will see what version of Global you have. If you don't know where to get the latest libraries, go here, and select the one for your sim: https://www.fullterrain.com/support#Orbxlibs Hope this helps....Rod

Chas, Everything listed on that page is compatible with P3D. The color coding needs to be updated. Rod

Mark, I had bought ASN for FSX a while back. Then I got P3D v2.3, then downloaded the ASN beta for P3D and it worked just fine. If I remember correctly, it'll ask for the reg number of the purchased version before you can install the P3D version. Rod

I've had Win 8 for a year and a half, and the only problem I had was my CH Yoke and Pedals would disconnect. I configured them with FSUIPC and have had no disconnects since. EZDOK, TrackIR, FSX, P3Dv2.3, ASN, just to mention a few, have been working with no problems. Rod

Uncle_adolph is correct about not having the compatible version of the scenery for your version of P3D, however, all of the Orbx northwest scenery is compatible with P3Dv2... You'll need to download the newest sceneries again from FlightSim Store. Example, for FTX Global: you need v1.10 to install into P3Dv2.2 or v2.3, then, install update 1.20 Go to the Orbx forum, at this link, for all Orbx scenery compatible with P3D v2.2/2.3..... http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/68566-master-list-of-all-p3d2-ready-orbx-products/ I checked that link with all versions I have, and had to go to FlightSim Store and re-download all my scenery that was compatible with P3Dv2..., and all installed with no flaws. Hope you get it figured out. Rod

Oops, I did forget to mention I was also using FS Global 2010 FTX. Have you searched Orbx forum for any compatibility issues that others may be having? Rod

DetCord, I'm running only FTX Global, Vector, and EU OpenLC and I'm not having any issues with Brussels National (EBBR). Also, I checked my Vector Configuration Tool, and EBBR is still enabled. I went into FTX Central, used FTX Global Hybrid On, then Hybrid Off, and also checked Europe, just to see if it gave me the same issue. I found no issues in any of the settings for EBBR. On the other hand, when I checked Vagar (EKVG), I have the same issue as you, except my water that's falling off the cliff looks like a water fall, which yours' does not. I did all the checks within FTX Central and I also disabled and re-enabled EKVG in the Vector Configuration Tool and had the same results. I don't know what to say about Brussels as it's fine on my system. But Vagar, there is a problem somewhere. Safe Flyin' Rod

Rob....no. You should be able to access all control panels within FTX Central. Open FTX Central and ensure you have the control panels for each airport you installed. Then you can delete the control panels off of your desktop if you want. Once you set up the scenery options within that certain control panel, your scenery for that airport will always be that way until you change something in that control panel later. Rod

Just as Mike stated, that is correct. And, I've done the same as Mike, installing new airports or regions later, just re-install the current libraries, and you're good to go. Safe Flyin Rod

I've never used this process before, as once I install any Orbx scenery/add ons, I don't want or need to uninstall. But, this is what I found on the Orbx forum. I'll use PNW as an example FIRST set FTXCentral to [Default] 1 - Browse to FSX\ORBX\FTX_NA - Delete the 4 x PNW titled folders: FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY FTX_NA_PNW06_CVX FTX_NA_PNW07_MESH FTX_NA_PNW08_CUSTOM 2 - Browse to FSX\ORBX\Scripts - Delete scenerylib_NA_PNW - Run FTXconfigurator.exe (silent operation, it removes the scenery library entries) 3 - Browse to FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery - Delete all the "PNW" titled files Use the same guide to delete any American FTX regions To uninstall a FTX airport, I'll use YSCH as an example : FIRST set FTXCentral to [Default] - Browse to FSX\ORBX\FTX_AU (for American airports browse to FSX\ORBX\FTX_NA instead) - Delete the FTXAA_YSCH folder - Browse to FSX\ORBX\Scripts - Delete orbx_cpl_ysch and scenerylib_AU_YSCH - Run FTXconfigrator.exe (silent operation, it removes the scenery library entries) Use the same guide to delete any payware FTX airport

Bruce...that's correct. The Hybrid Mode box only shows up for when Global is checked. Rod

I have to ask the same question as dgraham, however, I'm assuming your FSX is crashing, even though the title of your post is Windows 8 keeps crashing. If it is FSX, the only thing I can think of right away is, do you have the UIAutomationCore.dll file in the main FSX directory? My FSX would crash if I didn't have that dll file in my main FSX directory. I have Windows 8 on my system. Hope someone else chimes in to assist. Rod

Addicted.... Here is my honest two cents worth: 1. FTX Global replaces the default "TEXTURES" only. Since they replace the textures, I'm positive that it is compatible to all add on "airport" scenery. 2. Yes. 3. No....as FTX Global only replaces the FSX default textures, the regions have a lot more added to them for realism. That's why if you're going to fly only in a certain region, within FTX Central you switch from "Global" to that region. However, even if you leave FTX Central set on "Global", with the "Hybrid Mode" checked, you still get most of the realism flying in the regions. 4. Speaking for myself, no. 5. No. As stated before, FTX Global replaces the FSX default textures only. 6. I don't know. I have used both at the same time with no issues. 7. Speaking for myself, no. No "hit" at all. 8. Again, speaking for myself, no. 9. I'm not sure. I've heard there are some addons that are not compatible....I think GEX is one of them. Best thing to do is go to the ORBX Compatibility Forum and search around.. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/forum/80-ftx-compatibility-forum/ 10. Yes, they address them. My experience is that their support is very good. 11. No, I don't think there is an uninstaller. I never was concerned about having one, because I knew that FTX Global replaced the FSX default textures only. When you install FTX Global, the install program will ask if you want to backup your original textures. So, if you ever want to uninstall FTX Global, then you delete the FTX Global textures, and replace with the FSX default backup textures you saved during install. But, in my opinion, you will not want to revert back to FSX default. 12. FTX Global is the best thing (maybe the only thing) out there that replaces the FSX default textures. When the Open LC packs are finished, and available, then the complete package will include FTX Global, Vector, and the Open LC packs. Right now there are no OpenLC packs available, as they are in the last stages of completing Open LC EU. They do have the Iceland Demo for download for those that would like to see what the complete package looks like. However, keep in mind, the Iceland Demo was created a few months ago, and Orbx is using their experiences to make the other OpenLc packs better. That's why Open LC EU is running behind schedule. I use FS Global 2010 for the terrain enhancement. So, with FS Global 2010, FTX Global, FTX Vector, and then the Open LC packages, I will have a complete new FSX version. If you haven't already, I suggest going to the Orbx website and looking through the different threads/posts. Here is a good one... http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/61929-ftx-global-what-is-it-all-about/ Safe Flyin'...... Rod

What I understand is, if you're going to use the AS2012 textures, start AS2012, select and install the textures, exit from AS2012, and those textures will be set everytime you fire up ASN and FSX. I'm sure that is what I had done a while back. I'm now using REX4 Direct textures, and I installed those textures the same. I hope I'm correct, as I'm no expert on this subject, however, I'm sure I saw those instructions on some forum. Rod I just re-read your question about using weather influenced textures. To be honest, I really don't know, as I've always used the set of textures I had installed from when I setup AS2012, then ran ASN. I guess I never used the Wx influenced textures option. Sorry about that....Rod

Jack.... I purchased my new computer in Jan 2013, with WIN 8. The only problem I had was the CH yoke and pedals would disconnect every once in a while. Once I configured them with FSUIPC, I haven't had the problem since. I also had to put the UiAutomationCore.dll file in the FSX directory or FSX would crash as soon as I would access the toolbar menus. I fly with a lot of payware aircraft including the PMDG 737. I haven't had any issues with panel problems on any aircraft. I would also run other programs, at the same time, such as Active Sky Next, TrackIR, FSINN, Flight Sim Commander, Plan-G, and would be on the internet, with no issues. I now network another computer with Active sky Next, FSC, Plan-G, and accessing the internet. So now, the only programs I use on the main computer with FSX is TrackIR. Rod

idoen, Did you just install new Orbx scenery? The reason I ask is if you did, you should always re-install the latest Orbx Libraries. I went to the Orbx forum and found a post that had your same error. The answer was to re-install the latest Orbx libraries:http://www.fullterrain.com/support.html#orbxlibs But the OP did not answer back as if it worked or not. There were other posts but they had the error "Duplicate Landclass index 14 Aborting FTXCentral", and once they installed the latest libraries, I guess it was resolved. Hope it works for you. Rod

Phoenixfly.....What Orbx scenery addons do you have installed? My guess is, if you don't have any airport scenery installed, that has a control panel option, you will not have any control panels show up in FTX Central. Right now I have FTX Global, Vector, and the following regions: NRM, PNW, CRM, and England installed. There are no control panels for me either. However, once I install some airports, like, KSFF, KJAX, or other airports that have options, my control panels show up within FTX Central. I hope I'm right for telling you this as I'm no expert. Hope you get it figured out. Rod
