    After copying the Carenado B200 folder and gauges over to P3D and loading the aircraft, the VC panel textures are transparent. Can anyone offer a solution.

  7. Each day i keep checking FTX website to see if Global is release . What i keep thinking is what time will it be in the Caribbean when FTX Global is release. When REXE was release in my country it was about 2AM. Anyone has any idea or nice guest to what time it might be release ? I know only JV an his team knows but judging by the time of release of certain scenery an airport they have release in the past someone might have a clue.

    I presumed and was under the impression OpenLC would give us better landclass, period. But there is more to it! JV posted the following on the Orbx forum: "OpenLC will indeed come with many Gigabytes of unique custom textures. The Baltics demo shipping with FTXG comes with 483MB of unique textures alone. Think of openLC worldwide areas as Orbx "mega-regions" which contain hand-made LC and unique textures, but not all the other FTX region goodies like coastlines, roads, mesh etc. By the time openLC is complete we will likely have added another 8-12GB of new Orbx textures to your FTXG installation but most areas of the world will look distinctly unique and more accura…

  15. I am thinking about getting some airports in Asia region so I wanted to ask which airports you are thinking about buying after FTX Global is out. It will make a lots of difference compared to default FSX textures so lots of people would want to fly to different regions. My choice is Chubu Centrair for now. What do you have in your mind?

    Hello, I'm considering the purchase of ORBX/FTX England and Scotland (later on Wales as well). Currently I'm using UTX (Europe) and GEX (Europe), but for the UK, in which I do more than half of my flights, I find the appearance of GEX simply not enough 'English'. However, for the odd flight from, say, EGKK to EDDL or LSZH, it would be OK to still have GEX for Germany or Switzerland. Does anyone know whether this is possible, or do I just have to revert to default FSX textures when flying outside the UK? Thanks in advance for any input. Kind regards, René

    I've decided to post my critique here as I don't want to get risk getting banned if I post it in the ORBX forum. As excited as I am about FTX global, I nevertheless have some misgivings primarily related to the preview screenshots provided in the ORBX forums. My skepticism has only increased after seeing the latest advertisement on the ORBX website front page and the screenshots featured there. Over half of the screenshots are of urban areas, and of those about half are of very specific and unique buildings found in various cities around the world. ORBX developers have made it very clear that FTX Global will not provide any POIs, like unique buildings, but the…

    Hi there! Today, I bought and installed UK2000 EGCC. I also have Orbx EU England (patch 3), EU Scotland (V1.0) and UK2000 Luton, Heathrow, Birmingham, Edinburgh and London City installed. Only at EGCC, I have some default airport terminal buildings in front of the UK2000 scenery buildings which leads to the fact, that my aircraft stands in the middle of these default buildings when parked at the gate. All UK airports are above the FTX scenery in the library. What could cause that problem here? Thanks in advance...
