FTX Old Warden. Beta screenshots.RELEASED

[DaveG]

I've actually installed the libraries already They're a free download & come in very handy for adding stuff.

May take a punt with Old Warden when it's released, depending on the price.

I have some of the libraries installed too. Wasn't struck on having FTX Control (et-al) on my desktop mind you so I binned that lot but the library remained. Only noticed when fiddling with some scenery recently and there they were sat in ISv2 ready to use I still have all my stuff from FTX England on the remains of what was my previous FSX install

Don't forget to update to the latest library Daves...It was updated with the issue of Wales with Cardiff...Some new stuff in there

Cheers Peter, will do

Dave..

As a quick 'dirty' test.. I've just dragged KHQM(Bowerman) from the old install into this one. There were slight elevation issues (dips between taxiways and the runway) but nothing drastic. Probably no flatten used as it's expecting to be sitting on ORBX PNW. I got none of the moving bods or aircraft.. airport objects as such but all the buildings were there and it didn't look too bad. I've not looked at finding all the missing bits for it or attempted to make a flatten but none of this should be impossible to achieve

Here is a mention in the manual:-

WHAT WILL YOU MISS OUT ON IF YOU DON'T HAVE ORBX FTX INSTALLED?
- Blending of the airport photoreal into the surrounding terrain
- Moving traffic on roads, properly aligned to the photoreal ground terrain
- 3D light poles along roads and in urban/township streets and around the airport
- Orbx's modified houses and trees which match the European houses and trees
- The FTX Central application, which is used to launch all the Orbx tools and also switch FTX off

Manual Scenery Library Configuration
If you do NOT have Orbx FTX installed you can still use this scenery by manually adding the scenery library
entry from within Flight Simulator X/Prepar3D.
Here's the steps required to configure the scenery library.
1. Run Flight Simulator X/Prepar3D, then selecting Settings | Scenery Library
2. Click on the Add Area button
3. A folder browser window will pop up.
4. Navigate to the ORBX \ FTX_EU folder
5. Now select the FTX_AA_EGTH folder and click OK
6. You will then see two folders displayed, Scenery and Texture. Now click OK*
*(Note: If you're using Windows 7, click anywhere in the white portion of the folder browser screen that shows
the Scenery and Texture folder, not the OK button - there's a bug with FSX/P3D under Windows 7)
7. You will now be taken back to the Scenery Library list of scenery added, and the airport will now be
displayed at the top of the list.
You can now load up a flight at the airport using the "Free Flight" menu.

That's how you load scenery anyway isn't it

I can concur with what you don't get though.. for Bowerman anyway.. I'm not buying Old Warden.

And you don't get white houses

[DaveB]

Come to think of it.. you're right
