ORBX Airport Maps - Freeware and Payware update

mvg3d said:
Hi Friends,
A "silly" question :
Since I installed ORBX packages (Vector and Central) ALL my older (and newer) effects (lights, smokes, water sprays and so on) were transformed in BLACK clouds and squares .....
Any suggestion ?

Maybe a little late:

Did you enable "DX10 preview" in your FSX settings? So if, this can cause your described issues. You can uncheck the mark. I would recommend to buy Steve Parsons "DX10 Scenery Fixer". It's a cheap and great tool to let FSX work properly in DX10 mode. AI aircraft get back their shadows, for example and performance seems to be more smooth....

Weird that I run in to your post just now, after being frustrated with the default ac external lights with their black boxes, ever since installing FTX Gobal. Why didn't I run in to this one before beats me, as I certainly have searched for a resolution.

Better late than never, so thanks Gray Eagle.

*Notams on the new PDF:

KIGM and UT68 are new. You must disable AEC for KIGM manually. It is not marked on PDF as others are to disable AEC. There are 39 new airports listed plus these 2, so 41 in all despite the stated 38 new airports........

KTEX has been deleted.

CFC2 - Bitumount is not on list anymore although there are 2 .bgl's in the folder. Why? I don't know. After installing the freeware pack the stock CFC2 is no longer visible and a flat texture airport is stuck askew of where the original strip was. Disabling AEC gets the old dirt strip back but the ugly texture of a flat airport is still there and looks horrid and wont go away. I hope it gets fixed. May have something to do with the new CYNR that was put in across the crick.

A stated in the new PDF some entries are denoted as -

Effective (Former) ? Effective ICAO code replaces former code; e.g. KBTA (K46).

There were a number of these in the former packs and by the mention above I thought the Effective ICAO's would in fact replace the (former code), but this is not the case.

All airports listed below are listed on my map with the Effective ICAO. A search of the (former code) will bring up the airport on my maps also.

Here is what I found in the folder:

KAEJ and 7V1 = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KARW and 73J = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KBTA and K46 = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KEDC and 6R4 = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KFHB and 55J = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KPOV and 29G = same airport. BGL's for both are in folder.

KBKN and 4O3 = same airport. Only 4O3 is in the folder.

KLZD and 5B3 = same airport. Only 5B3 is in the folder.

This is a great list. However, I think you're missing KHQM (Bowerman) on the map that shows both freeware and payware. I haven't checked the other maps. Is that because it's considered a demo?
