Every thing has worked for me.  I don't know why some folks think they have to move everything.  I like the auto update thing.  I found three of my installs had updates that I didn't know about.  Time marches on!

My first shot at installing Orbx FTX Central seemed to work fine. Everything opened up faster than in the past and solid FPS speeds. Then I noticed none of my RTMM scenery was showing. So, I began looking at insertion points. Then trouble began. My P3Dv 4.5 would not even open. After trying various changes nothing worked. I deleted ORBX Central and went back to FTX Central and it seems to be doing fine. I would like to use the new ORBX Central when I figure it out. Thanks

Anybody else working with Orbyx Central 4 v0.12?
There seems to have been a lot of updates to the original program over the last few days
I haven’t tried it yet as I have very functional FSX and P3Dv4.5 sims and scared to upset them!
Want new Sceneries though

If your FTXCentral is workin ok:
No reason to change from FXTCentral3 to OrbxCentral now - no advantages at this time - constant improvements in the updates but still not completely "bugless".

Thanks Dieter-was my gut feeling confirmed by yourself with vastly more experience than me
Are you interested in any of the new Orbyx Sceneries only available via Central 4 ?
I will content myself with the splendid setup I currently have-off to fly the “new” RTMM BWEP “ updates of the Alaska pipeline!

If you're all splendid don't change it.  After lots of reading on it, it's definitely not worth the bang for the buck at this time.

I just took it through the paces, insertion point etc. and it works well for me.  No complaints.

I was updated to the 0.13 version (on Friday the 13th :() and checked insertion points and all was well.
This morning I noticed ORBX Global Vector was no longer working.

Long story short I finally uninstalled it and reinstalled into the main folder - got it back but now I have to disable all the elevation problems again. Is there a list here on RTMM of the airports that need to be disabled?

Hi Bob, You should run the Vector Auto Config after any install or removal of scenery.  There's a little notice on the tab for airport elevation corrections.

Thanks Dex
A few others I remembered are the BWEP list.
PAVS (Sparrevohn LRRS Airport) is another.

Whew lucky guy! Most aren't so fortunate as the new central so far has been known to destroy scenery.cfg files has a tendancy to eat scenery entries if it is not done exactly right lol. (And never uninstall FTX Central 3 before putting on ORBX Central (which is v4x).
