mutley 4,495 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 With the release of the new libraries a major update to FTX Central 2 is also included that negates the need to switch regions. You can get the new Orbxlibs via the Fullterrain support page or via FTX Central 2 itself. The download is approximately 1.3Gb in size and takes a good 5 minutes to install for each sim version you have.

Corsaire31 419 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 For information went for me a lot faster to get it through Full Terrain Support / Google Drive than through FTX Central. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Agreed, I used the Google Drive link Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Automatic update reckons 14 days to finish downloading . . . Yeah, right! Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 mine took 3 attempts as it kept missing files, 1st time I opened central it did a configuration now you dont have to chose an area before you fly... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Same here Wayne, it only did partial downloads. As I said above the Google Drive option worked best for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Also took multiple attempts after "failed downloads". On the third try i tried re-trying the last try (try saying that..nvm...) and it continued where it left off. Sometimes I feel like I'm updating the US Library Of Congress on those ORBx library downloads. I used the ORBx cloud and got best speeds...a miserly1.4mbs at best. Mostly likely due to my poor US non fiber optic "broadband" connection. 6 hours ago, Tim_A said: Automatic update reckons 14 days to finish downloading . . . Yeah, right! Absolutely manually download from the ORBx forums/support site. Yeah, Central is ok at updating airports, but NOT libraries. Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here I have a standard connection and it took me one try and 25 minutes from Orbx support / Google Drive. Maybe I was lucky to be in the first hours before the US woke up... Link to post Share on other sites
dogtrack 346 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Anyone been brave enough to try this "upgrade" yet ? Have read many posts from less than happy bunnies, elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi Arnie, I think the most problems were with P3Dv3.3 but LM set out a hotfix. So far I have not had any issues, however, I haven't had a lot of time recently to fly. I guess that it's ok to put off upgrading for a while unless you get a new scenery or upgrade the old ones, like the soon to be released England SP5 which may need those new Orbxlibs to get the new lighting and you get the new FTX Central with that installation. Of course this will be irrelevant come the Autumn when Orbx bring their shop (Orbx Direct) in house, FTX Central 3 will be the new controller. Here's the update from the show this past weekend (Thanks to ADX) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I did the update...only problem I had/have is I get a notice everytime I start FSX saying that there is an error in scenery area #120...i just hit ok and proceed. I suspect it will resolve itself after another update? Link to post Share on other sites
dogtrack 346 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Mmm....if it ain't broke.....Think I shall leave it until the SP5 release for England. Any irregularities should have been ironed out by then. Thanks Joe & Matt. Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Firth 114 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've only installed Norway into P3D 3.3.5 so far but the update process went quickly and smoothly. Probably I'm being paranoid, but I do wonder whether/how much the new OrbX direct will exercise control over how their products are installed and not just how they are delivered to you? I do hope they dont try to cripple installations of airports without associated underlying regions... Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 They probably will and also send a hit team your way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SEATAC 400 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Silly me, I had no idea there was an FTX Central v2 released like a year ago. I just installed the Orbx libs Version 160528 so that I get the unified scenery, but I still do not see FTX Central v2 which seems to be required to get the unified stuff working. I still only have the original FTX so can anyone tell me how to get v2? I have kept up with the library updates but have yet to find FTX Central v2. There is only one FTX in my C:\FSX\ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral folder and it is the old v1. Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Found it! Finally! Please ignore the previous post Link to post Share on other sites
