I just did a complete re-install of FSX under windows 10, everything worked proplerly and so I installed UTX and UTX Canada, still ok. When I installed Orbx FTX Pacific NW, lo and behold, wonderful trees and landsacpe. However, right on some of the runways and concrete areas of my favorite landing strips. Anyone know what might be wrong?

Probably best to check with Orbx.

My guess is that it's a priority problem between Orbx FTX Pacific NW and UTX - UTX Canada.



If you have FTX Central, or FTX Central V2 you should run it. Then click on FTX Global and the APPLY REGION button.

Next, click on North America and the APPLY REGION button.

What that should do is to place the North America area at the top of the list.

Hope it helps.

I had the same situation after I installed UTX...trees all over the place I uninstalled UTX and everything cleared up. I left Orbx PNW installed.

As I have stated several times one nasty habit of FS9 and FSX Is any new scenery gets put at the top of the list and this can and does create issues which is exactly why you are seeing the trees in placces where they should not be. You need to put it last. This can be done two ways that I know of one will take you forever by using the library settings in FS9 you can only step it down one notch at a time. The quickest way is to open the FS9 Scenery Cfg File NOT THE FS9CFG FILE. Than all you have to do is to put it at the bottom of the list and save it should renumer the scenery by itsself.

That last bit he said: the numbers associated with the additional scenery in the CFG file NORMALLY show up at the top of the list (#1) but they might need to be lowered down and revised since they are interfering with other scenery.

However, does this not present a problem since editing by hand doesn't shift the rest of the numbers? Hmm . . . I'm gonna go check this out . . .

I did move the orbx scenery files to a lower priority, but it makes no difference. I have e-mailed them, but it's a slow process seeing that they are in Oz.

I did what Gary suggested and it worked for my trees issue. I did this years ago but forgot all about it. Alzhimers!!

There is also a very nice little program that I use regularly: Scenery Config Editor. I believe the current version is 1.1.2

The Orbx scenery would need to be higher if the airport that you're using is an Orbx airport.

Thanks, Old A. However it's not an Orbx airfield and it's FSX. Looking for the scenery.cfg file now.
