FTX Central error message

[color=#000000]After umpteen hours to download and then a while to read the manual and install PMW, I can't open FTX Central. I get the following error message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Could not find file 'C:\Users\patchz\Desktop\foxbattemp\terrain.cfg.'"

I posted on ORBX Forum but since it is a holiday, I don't expect an answer any time soon. Needless to say, patchz not happy camper.

Larry - I think it's maybe something to do with memory, or lack of useable.

Do you have anything like 'foxbattemp' installed?

[color=#000000]For some reason unknown to me, FTX chose to create and place the folder foxbattemp and place it on the desktop.

foxbattemp contains the following subfolders and in some cases different types of files. Obviously, each subfolder also has subfolders and/or files.

[color=#000000]Success!!! John at Orbx posted a fix and it worked. Had to download and run FSX Registry Utility to set the correct path to Payware FSX, and install the PNW.002 patch, but it did not take long and was well worth it. Still getting 30 fps in the rural areas and around 20 over Seattle and Sea-Tac, with autogen set on very dense and mesh resolution on 2cm. And I turned my road traffic [glow=yellow,2,300]down[/glow] to 16% per the manual and had more traffic than I have ever seen. Absolutely love the ground textures, trees and buildings. I did not think Vashon could be improved, but I was wrong. Can hardly wait for them to do the entire US. Hopefully, Alaska too.
