I just downloaded and installed FTX central 3. I migrated all the Orbx scenery I got from Flightsim, and it is all listed. Then I tried to log into my account, and it asks for my email address and password. I don't have a password and can't find any way to create one. How is this done.

During recent landing at Orlando Intl. (KMCO) I noticed another issue with trees scattered over taxiways and aprons...NOTE: not on the runways. I've enclosed a snapshot below. I'm always acutely aware of add-on scenery that I install and insured to the best of my ability to make sure there was nothing that would react with the airport at KMCO. Just to make sure that nothing was interfering with the area, I went as far as to disable ALL of my addon files and folders leaving nothing but ORBX and default files active. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. I have FTX Central installed and checked the libray insertion points for any discrepancies. The Set…

Have you read the latest of limiting your downloads to one product a day. And blaming us for what we have bought from him. Sorry. There is much I like with Orbx but this is the second issue that is the customer's fault. I will continue using the products but it is unlikely I will buy any more as I will be tranistioning to Xplane.

Hello, I am seeking your help, if anybody has any experience or suggestion regarding P3D AA with AMD GPU? I am practically unable to get a decent anti-aliasing in the simulator. Tried with 4 and 8 samples, FXAA on/off. With/without Radeon settings profile (Used App settings/enhance/override 4x, 8x). Still getting some aliasing, flickering and shimmering; Rwy, terminal and 3D objects shimmering Gauges (especially F/O) and txt around GPS and Radio knobs gauges flickering Aliasing on the external view (wings, yellow fuselage line...) I would be very gratful for any suggestions and ideas how could I solve this? Your help is very much a…

Which is the best option? Specs - GTX 980TI, i5-4460, 8gb ram

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! My HAt switch doesn't work and when I start P3D I get the Invalid floating point operation" pop up Any ideas? I didn't make any changes to my system I can't hink of anything that would o r should affect EZDOK NEVERMIND.. Yes I got that pop up but I killed the process and restarted and it was working.. I was in slew mode hence the HAt switch was not operational which I mistook for not working. Doh! I wish I had a way to delete the post I created.

Gentlemen, just did some trial and error with mklink lines works so far but with no sucess in terms of linking terrain.cfg. Then installed latest orbx lib and ftx england. Still no luck to get in ftxcentral after installation. Then i tried the ftxcentral2_setup.exe. You can find it in "x:\p3dv3 directory\ORBX\Scripts" if you run it you get the choice wheter to select v2 OR v3. Now the orbx stuff runs on my v3 setup. Feedback appreciated, Carsten

Is it also possible that somewhere down the line LM get fedup and abandon p3d/MS esp development due to never ending and impossible/too consuming to fix issues? There must be a limited commitment to how much they want to modify the ESP, else by now they might also have reached an fs11/12isk level of improvement.

A few topics about airport addons made me think about getting an airport addon that covers a somewhat larger region, like Narvik from Orbx. Not to actually fly to and from in my Airbus but to use as a sim within a sim and to fly above in a trike, taking off, doing a few circles enjoying the scenery and landing. As you might do on your local airport in the weekend. After looking at various airports I started to think if there are any small photoreal regions out there that come with 3D objects all over the place. So addons that cover a bit more than an airport addon would do. I know there are a lot of photoreal sceneries but they all are completely flat and I hate that. …

Hi there, It is known that running ORBX Vector with everything activated can consume a lot of VAS - especially in big cities. I ran into an issue today that I wanted to show you. I have figured out that even if I have everything disabled in the Vector configurator, deactivating the Vector entries in the scenery library PLUS deactivating the OpenLC lights gives me 200 MB more VAS despite no difference in visuals. This is an important piece of information for those who have disabled all features in the Vector configurator, but still have all Vector components activated in the scenery library. Deactivating one of the two add-ons (deactivating OpenLC lights while leav…

Hi all, It's been awhile since I've been flying. But after a long layoff I've just started again, latest version of P3D, latest versions of FTX AU and ORBX libraries, sliders all to the right, but Perth city seems to have many autogen buildings missing. I've used FTX AU before in FSX and I distintively remember many more scyscrapers than this. Can anyone else confirm they see the same as me? Not sure if this is an issue with me only or is it an issue with FTX AU? Cheers.

Just throwing this out there - can we have one thread here when someone is aware of a V3 updated addon we can post it here ?

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,14182.msg104774.html#msg104774 This has been mentioned before but considering how much the topic of OOMs has come up in relation to P3d 3.4, it is worth mentioning again.

This may have been mentioned before but I couldn't find the thread. 375.70 drivers .... Using two Titan X (not pascal) in SLI causing flickering of effects in P3D V3.4. I can resolve the problem by reverting back to prior drivers or disable SLI. Here are video samples of the problems: and I've notified nVidia and LM. Cheers, Rob.

My P3D is in my C drive SSD. But ORBX scenery used up nearly all spaces. Is there any method to put the ORBX products in D Drive HDD with the FTX Central? Thanks.

If you go from C2 to C3, you do not have to reinstall any scenery you already had installed before. They perfectly work with the new version. You waste your time and your bandwith, specially if you have a cap.

Hi, After i have installed FTX Central 3 i have som insertions conflicts. I normally use Scenery Configurator Editor to organise and groupe my scenerys. This is a great tool btw. But i noticed that FTX Central 3 is not fully compatibel. Seems like The editor is just changing the layer number when you move around the scenerys and not physic placing them as such in the scenery.cfg Any ideers or experience ? Thanks Michael Moe

Hi all, I have FSX and added Orbx Scotland, which works correctly. I have just installed FSX Steam, and have added the five Orbx layers from the FSX SCENERY.CFG to the Steam SCENERY.CFG ... the Orbx scenery thus appears in FSX Steam ... BUT ... all the water around Scotland has land textures in it. When I run FTX Central 2, it recognises I have FSX and P3D, but not Steam - should it recognise Steam as a separate option? I even tried re-running the Orbx installer, but it does not recognise Steam either (I think it pre-dates Steam). Thanks for any suggestions as to how to get my sea back! Regards, Iain.

Hello Everyone, I know there have been many threads on this, but I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem. I'll be flying along with a good framerate of about 40FPS, yet I'm getting stutters. It's like tiny pauses in the simulation, and I haven't been able to get rid of them. I've tried messing around with the graphics settings in the simulator, locking FPS, but none of the combinations of settings I've tried have gotten rid of the stutters. I'm wondering if there are any tweaks I can do with the .cfg file that would help with this problem? I'm running out of ideas, any would be appreciated. Thanks System specs: Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz, 8GB D…

I decided to throw this in its own thread, since its pretty specific.. Basically I used fsmark07 and other means to gauge a baseline before switching to the evga 1080 FTW to see if i would get a jump in performance. Well, there was NO CHANGE, maybe a slight loss.. (3dmark firestrike ultra went from say 4100 to 5500, so i do see the expected normal 3D increase, but nothing for p3d) My fsmark07 120sec run went from 24.8 fps to around 23.5 as well.. the initial paused screen went from 33 fps to 31ish. I also tested oculus rift / flyinside performance, there was hardly any perceivable change.. panning may have been slightly smoother, but still stuttered (no matt…

Hi, All of a sudden...Every one of my add on airports have disappeared in FTX California...No matter what vendor...Runways, building , everything...gone and default shows up.. They are all activated and I have changed nothing... The rest of the world is fine...just California Wondering what on earth happened and how do I get them back.. I even reinstalled Latin VFR John Wayne Orange County...Still not showing.. The same if I start with or without Simstarter NG Any Ideas?? Dave

It took me a while but I finally figured out what's causing my mass flickering. With HDR on, objects such as fences, poles, or pretty much anything that's skinny shimmers a ton. With HDR off it's not completely removed, but it's a lot better. I run AA and AF at 8 and 16x through P3D, and most of my settings are default in the Nvidia control panel. My other settings are usually in the mid to high range (just assume most are far right with the exception of autogen and complexity which is dialed back a couple notches). For now all shadows are off, and AI traffic is set to about 15%. I've migrated away from using nvidia inspector, although having it set at 4 SGSS did se…

In P3D, a lot of the wind socks for the addon scenery I use don't work because they are incompatible. They usually are completely missing or don't respond to wind. Could Instant Scenery III make it easy to add in P3D compatible windsocks? Thanks in advance
