Peter,
don't uninstall FSX. Maybe only your UTX entries in the terrain.cfg are missing (run the UTX setup tool).
Or if FSX files have been replaced and your backup is messed up, i can send you the default FSX (+XPack) files. Or if you post at the FTX forum, i'm sure that you will get help there. All files, which FTX is replacing are in the ORBX\Scripts folder, so it's possible to rescue your FSX.



Anthony,
many thanks for your excellent freeware airports!

peter, did you install SP3 and SP3b? http://fullterrain.com/hotfixes

and it is as JT8 said, if you come to the FTX forums I am sure we can help you out.

Peter, I'm not being funny but the last three times I've seen you post you've been having problems with separate add-ons. Perhaps it's come to that time for a clean FSX anyway?

 

[Nick C]

Nice shots Moe.

You'll miss some nice scenery if you do stay clear of FTX mate

very true!
Now, with the Cub, I fiind myself racing the cars on the roads, it is that good!

I definitely getting this. I've got all the other FTX payware, and it's changed my FSX experience in such a positive way. I read on their site that ORBX are planning to do Europe after the USA!!

Here's an idea: Microsoft should sub-contract all development for FS11!

Scenery: ORBX
Aircraft: RealAir, A2A, Carenado, Lotus, CaptainSim etc.

As long as I can beta test for them of course

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Can you compare the framerate at Tamworth to other Orbx payware airports?

Can you compare the framerate at Tamworth to other Orbx payware airports?

as long as I fly low and slow, I have no real problems.
with everything completely to the right, I still average about 20 fps

No FPS issues at all at Orbx Aeropelican or Cessnock ( AU Gold installed.TFR unlimited. Core 2 Duo E6700, GF8800GTX, 4Gig DDR2) arriving at YSTW ( I never spoil the fun by just plopping down at Active Runway of a newly installed airport.. ) however FPS dropped down below 10...

This without looking at YSTW Control Panel...

Excluding a few of the goodies got an average 20 FPS back up flying over Tamworth. Control Panel is the thing to go for if you have FPS issues. Works like a charm. Even without some of the details ( 3D grass, Township Objects, CT4 trainers ) Tamworth still remains one of the most gorgeous airports in FSX.

No wonder about the difference in FPS between Aeropelican/Cessnock and Tamworth, latter is a 'big' airport compared to the other two ( which are as gorgeous as Tamworth i might add )

Cheers,
Jan

Wow, thanks for the positive feedback on YSTW guys! It was a blast making it and we're also happy that it performs very well given the 7cm/pixel textures used.

The spec of my PC used in the video are in the 'More Info' tab on the YouTube page, but I'll list them here:

PC Specs: Intel i7 920 @ 4.0Ghz / Gigabyte EX58-Extreme Mobo / 12GB DDR3 triple-channel RAM / 2x Velociraptor HDs in RAID-0 on a dedicated Adaptec controller / nVidia GTX285 GPU 1GB DDR3 / Samsung Synmaster 305t 30" LCD monitor @2560x1600x32 / Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler / Thermaltake ToughPower QFan 750W PSU / Thermaltake Spedo full tower case / Windows 7 RC 64-bit.

At 1280x720 resolution set for the FRAPS capture I was getting about 55PS unlimited, so I used the FPS_Limiter_0.2 to keep it locked at 25FPS for the video. However, I usually develop and fly on my 30" monitor at 2560x1600 resolution and I average about 22-25FPS over the airport which is plenty smooth for that resolution.

Thanks again for the kind words, we appreciate it!

Well this has to be the best scenery I have ever seen. The video on YouTube is excellent.

Love the way that the tarmac and grass edges blend as they do in reality. The runway/taxyway textures are just superb.

Congratulations to all concerned. You have well & truly raised the bar.

Mike
