    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Orbx Global

Two quick questions:

(i) I am running several regions in P3d, but want to use Global in FSX-SE for other areas of the world. Does Global need Orbx Libraries?

(ii) Are the various FTX free packs of airfields compatible with Global on its own, or do they require vector and LC? My reading of the product pages suggests Global alone is enough.

Thanks,

David
 
Hello David,
My understanding is that Global itself does not need the Orbx libraries. Global is essentially just revised ground/terrain textures that replace the defaults. You will need to install the Orbx libraries for the freeware FTX packs to work, though.

The free FTX packs of airports are compatible with Global on its own. They do not require Vector and LC. I have neither Vector nor LC installed on my computer - just Global by itself - and the freeware FTX airports work beautifully.
