FT configurator and CPH installation issues

[mas618]

Ok guys. Let me start off by apologizing for being an impatient idiot, who installed your p3d v2.5 compatible version into P3D V3 using EMT. That could of course be the culprit of my issues. Regardless, I hope you will and can help me.

I have two issues:

1. Possible corrupt installation of CPH causing incorrect texture/photo background on airport and surroundings.
2. Corrupt FT configurator, showing two CPH headers. None of their options seems to have any effect on the in game scenery.

Setup:
Win 10 x64 (Windows Firewall and Defender active with default settings. No other AV installed).
P3D V3 only.
FTX Global (Set to active)
FTX EU LC
FTX Vector (AEC tool run after install of FT CPH)
FTX NOR

Steps taken after seeing this issue:
1. Uninstalled FT configurator and re-installed - no luck
2. Uninstalled FT Configurator and FT CPH. Re-install FT CPH incl. Configurator. No luck on either 1. or 2.
All provided pictures are taken after these steps were completed.

Now a series of pictures to illustrate:
FT configurator:



P3D root/Fly Tampa:


P3D scenery Library after installation:


P3D in game, with above scenery library active (NO CPH LC entries)





P3D in game with CPH LC added to the Scenery Library (below main CPH entry):

Scripts folder, rename the EKCH files and reinstall, that the only thing I can think of causing the double tabs.

Will try - thanks!

Will this have any effect om the scenery depiction in game, e.g the textures and photo background?

[ageva]

Don't think so but you should ask the masters here

[mas618]

OK - the again I'll report back regarding the configurator...

[mas618]

Ok, so I went to the Scripts folder and
1. removed the config_FT_CPH (possibly old one!?) and the config_FT_EKCH.
2. De-installed the configurator.
3. Re-installed FT CPH incl. configurator.
Now only one tab for CPH. But even though I check all gates animated, still A12 won't move. Other will and others again won't. Seems that it's still stuck at random.

Adding 3D grass and animated objects seems to work, so don't know about the gates...

Anyways going into the sim, this time around the Copenhagen_LC entry had now been added upon the re-install, but again causing the same issues as seen in my original post (photobackground with city in the airport area etc)....
However, a strange thing:
1. From the VC and in SPOT view- when AC on ground, the correct textures are shown.
2. From Topdown view, and when AC airborne, the incorrect tectures are shown
See screenies below (all from same sim-session, Copenhagen_LC entry active in scenery library):

Can you open with the notepad the new EKCH script file and verify that it's pointing to the right folder location?

From the file:
</Optiongroup>
<Optiongroup text="Animated Jetways" type="radiobuttons">
<Option text="All gates" default="off" description="Animated jetways are installed at all airport gates. Performance impact: moderate" thumbnail="images/ekch_jetways.png">
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(jets)_nw.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(jets)_nw.off"/>
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_staticbyX.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_staticbyX.off"/>
</Option>
<Option text="Random gates" default="on" description="Animated jetways are installed at random gates throughout the airport. All remaining gates get static jetways. Performance impact: negligible" thumbnail="images/ekch_jetways.png">
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(jets_random)_nw.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(jets_random)_nw.off"/>
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_random.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_random.off"/>
</Option>
<Option text="No animated jetways" default="off" description="All jetway animations are switched off. Only static jetways are installed at the airport." thumbnail="images/ekch_jetways.png">
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(no_jets)_nw.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\AF2_EKCH_FSX(no_jets)_nw.off"/>
<file onpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_static.bgl" offpath="Copenhagen\scenery\jets_static.off"/>

Without any knowledge on this what so ever - one could get the impression, that static gates are in effect?

Folders seems to be ok, you don't have the old scenery under addon scenery, right?

[mas618]

No, all gone...

[ageva]

I'm can't think of anything else, sorry.
Probably have to do with some old files but I can't pin point which exactly.

try uninstalling everything related to FlyTampa and then clean up any folders you find. Install only EKCH and see if it did the trick.

You have certainly tried your best and for that I'm very grateful! I think you're right,I will uninstall all FT products and delete all folders I can find and then start with CPH...

Thanks again!

[ageva]

Sure! I'm in a middle of servers maintenance and sorting out P3D issues is much more fun

[mas618]

So I uninstalled all FT products - CPH, Athens and Vienna. A seach in P3D root for LGAV gave nothing related to FT, neither did a search for LOWW.... But when I searched for EKCH, boy oh boy did a lot of files show up, that the uninstaller didn't get rid of. Maybe from the EMT installation of the v2.5 version or whatever. So deleted all of them and reinstalled all FT products.... Sigh - as before


Also tried disabling FTX EU LC from the scenery library, but same result.

The configurator shows only one header for CPH, but gate A12 still won't budge...

Both Vienna and Athens work perfectly...

Let's see what the FT guys can do (hopefully )
