SCHWEET!

Now that I have a sim that can run FSX addons 'smoothly' I will be checking out the infamous ORBX scenery.

Nice timing...

Soooooooooo glad I delayed getting the full Australia SP4 pack.:applause: Now I not only picked it up but the latest New Zealand South Island offering as well -- for a wee bit less than I was planning to splend for just the big pack.

Now I have to figure out how to get some of those cool airport packages as well. At least I have a month to come up with the coins.:cowboy:

As an amateur scenery guy, I've been meaning to pick up a few of them and did today. They do add some impressive details. The research and photography must be quite a task. The emphasis on the details really shows.

I can't fly FSX without FTX - Thanks to the OP for the HU and link - and thanks again to FTX crew for the sale and the SP5 for FTX NA

[PHo17]

I can't get even the ORBX demos work. How could I use their payware?

I have installed FTX AI. It did make the aircraft and traffic file folders, but on the FTX AI Control Panel there is everything grey and nothing works. However I got the traffic work manually.

Then I tried the Pacific Northwest Demo v.2 w/KHQM. Once again the setup program made the folders necessary ok (I think), but when I start the FTX Central it freezes and nothing work once again. It doesn't even load the pictures on the window. I looked also the scenery.cfg and there ware no changes either. I didn't try to install this manually because I don't know what it needes and in which order, so I used the Uninstall_Demo program. It did stuck (freeze) too!

I hate these setup programs where there isn't any option to install the scenery manually, Then I'd know where to put and what. If there ware even an option to choose the folder where to install (and copy the whole thing from there).

Possibly there is something in my system that prevents the setup program to work properly? Or what do I do wrong?

Here is the system:

An ordinary 2 years old PC (4 core Intel i7 CPU, 2.8 MHz, 4 GB (2 memory channels), 1 TB HDD, Radeon 5850)
Windows 7 Pro (64bit) Finnish version
FSX installed on logical drive D: (C: is for the OS)
I am using the FSX as administrator (as well while installing programs)
In FSX I have REX, FS water configurator, Bojotes tweaks in the fsx.cfg, fsx.exe.limiter v.0.2 and a lot of addons (airplanes, AI and sceneries mostly freeware - the total size just exceeded 200 GB)

Holy moly.... this is going to be an expensive FS addon month.

[Dexdoggy]

Absolutely awesome offer; already picked up Orcas, Anacortes, Goheen and Cushman...

The price is right. I'm going to pick up a few anyway. I just need to decide which. :icon_lol:

Bluebottle, in The Goons.

[CBris]

Ying tong iddle I po! Now, Bloodnok, pass my your credit card, sir, so that I may buy some more addons...

[Murray Cod]

thanks for the HU - you have just cost me $22 Aussie

[dvj]

And I just paid full price for NZSI and Alice Springs just a short time ago. :isadizzy::pop4:

[Gdavis101]

I tried the demo last night a fully realized what I have been missing! Want to the buy the full version of PNW for Prepar3d and I do not want to install it to FSX. Can I just install it into Prepar3d without any issues?

[OleBoy]

This may answer your question. Then again, maybe not. Last I read was here. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/index.php

[Gdavis101]

I have read through that, thank you. But, I just need to know if a newly purchased copy of PNW FTX scenery would just install into P3D without any hassles or does it require FSX? I don't want it on my FSX installation so the migration patch would not work for me. I am assuming that the scenery would just install if directed towards the P3D folder, but I want to make sure before buying. I looked through several different forums but there is no talk of this, mainly because I waited so ******* long to go to the Orbyx stuff.

Thanks!

[OleBoy]

I tried the standard install to the Prepar3d directory. My install (dated) does not do it. And there is no option to browse to the location. My only option was the SBSL gadget.

[Gdavis101]

That is what I was afraid of. Thank you for trying! After spending most of the day with P3D and PNW I think I am just going to buy it, install it to FSX and cross license it ( I just wanted to leave my FSX the way it is, but hopefully I can just turn it off there).. I don't think I can live without!!!!

[expat]

I would like to get P3D but am very confused on how the Orbx scenery transfers over - or doesn't and whether one therefore needs to pay for each scenery twice if you have it already for FSX. Also stupidly bought in the sale Pacific Fjords forgetting I had bought it last year (LOL!). Have asked the FlightsimStore for a credit but they are not responding - probably not a high priority for them . .

[vora]

They are working on a P3D migration tool, and all "Side-by-Side-Licenses" are free and directly downloadable now.

Default Robinson R22 OrbX Orange by Aussiecop (www.aussiex.org)

Frame rates are very good with the R22, not so good with the 767 but that's a known CS 767 issue... I swapped some JustFlight 757 Freemium gauges and switched to the "light" VC option and it's much better now...
