Error FTX England patches

[G.K.]

I have the latest P3D installed c/w ORBX FTX England. I have downloaded 3 patches as advised by the latest FTX Central application.

On running Patch 1 I get this error. Anyone know what the issue is?






Thank You

The "radio buttons" are the two circles on the left.

If you click one and then the other, the first one that you click on will be freed up. Or to put it another way if you click one after the other, the prior one will be deselected.

So the problem isn't with your or your computer. Probably.

It's most likely to be a bad download.


On the other hand, I see that you have User Account Control active - see the little shield inside your icons?

It's a user rights thing, and it may be restricting you from making certain changes. And don't start in with "But I have full admin rights".

I used to install security software on universities and military bases, and I heard that all the time. Trust me.

You could turn it off, but first try the free program - SimAccess.

Thanks for that OldAirmail. I had no idea that the shield icon had that meaning. I shall investigate further and see if it helps.

The permissions and admin control are a complete mystery to me in win 7....too complicated for my failing interests in operating systems. To be honest I lost interest after win 98 se

what version of P3d are you useing ?

[G.K.]

Version 2 Captain


I have found the problem. The ORBX FTX England is a fairly recent purchase (v1.3) and doesn't need patches 1, 2 or 3......silly me Perhaps not entirely my fault though, FTX Central told me there were updates available and when I clicked on the link it suggested all 4 patches.

I have installed patch 4 OK.


This still leaves me with a possible bug? or perhaps it's something to do with FTX Central Hybrid mode? or perhaps I've cocked up the installation? ....not sure.

UK airfields Hatfield EGTH and Leavesden EGTI are on the P3D map and also on the ground but they have housing estates splattered all over them. It renders them unusable.

Thanks for the link to SimAccess OldAirmail, that will no doubt be useful in the future.
