E gads...

Any ideas how to fix this

Hi Doug some other people have mentioned this on other forums have you tried the latest Orbx library objects/ Orbx Libraries Version 160708 7th July 2016 at the bottom of this page its a large file https://www.fullterrain.com/support good luck Dave.

Thanks Dave...

Will have a look...

Dave...just to let you know...

Posted this question on their site on Monday...

Still no answer...will keep waiting...

It's a long weekend, just be patient and you may get an answer before long.

Hey Doug.

I might have missed a part of the information here, but have you downloaded and installed the latest OrbX Library from the OrbX website ?
If not, you should.

Thanks Stephane...much appreciated...

No problems Doug.
For info, the latest library will also install a newer "FTX Central" application.
Since you reinstalled everything recently (if I'm not mistaken), you might still have the outdated FTX Central, the one that requires you to switch on or off a region.
The new FTX Central doesn't require region switching anymore. All of them are ON all the time, without conflicts.

Good morning Stephane

I did the update once and then reinstalled FSX.

I just did an update a minute ago.

Before I did not have to switch between Global and North America.

Now I do again.

Can not find the Update at ORBX to blend the two...Global and North America...I did do a Library Update but do not see any changes.

Just checked...

My FTX ORBXLIBS_160708

This is strange...
In the menus of the FTX Central, there should be an item about executing a "migration" or something like that. What if you execute that ?

Yes there is...will try that again...

Mitigation complete...did a Restart of the computer...

Opened FTX Central and still can click on Global or North America...

Wonder if they will send another Update on this

Funny how it worked before I uninstalled FSX...

Did not Uninstall ORBX or REX Plus Overdrive when I Uninstalled FSX as they are Stand Alone Products...wondering if that could be the problem, however did get an update this morning which installed OK.

You can certainly click on them, but do you still have the "activate" button ? You should not.

Hi Stephane...

No the "Active Button" is gone...

Must be OK...

Thanks again for your help...
