Hey all,
So I own many of ORBX's products, about 15 of them including FTX Global, alot of Australia's stuff and a bunch of NA stuff...anyway, I have had them not installed on my computer for many months because last time I installed them FSX wouldnt open, and I had to reinstall EVERYTHING...big pain, took a week almost. Anyway, I decided to reinstall some of the stuff in the beginning of the week, and installed the AU stuff, and some of the NA stuff. FSX worked fine, then last night I installed FTX Global again......, FSX still worked fine, however then I tried to install a new livery for the PMDG MD11 (from the PMDG website) and when I opened FSX again, MD11 was gone....So I reinstalled the MD11 and tried again, same issue..it was late, finally I gave up and just selected the default PMDG LIvery. Pressed fly now, FSX Loaded then CTD'd. Now, when I open FSX I get the message "Trying to read from Non-existant directory: D:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Texture" 2 times, and no matter what plane I choose it CTD's when it loads. I tried to change the region in the FTX Control panel to default FSX, but there is no option for that (it seems to have disapeared), and when I tried to turn off FTX Global I got an error message with about 1000+ lines of texture files it couldnt find. I checked the recycle bin, nothing deleted. I checked the folders where I installed it, everything is there. I still have my backup of FSX scenery from the FTX install.
So....any ideas what I should do? I am going to try uninstalling FTX Global now.

One of the performance recommendations for FSX is to go in and disable scenery you won't be using on that flight. If you're not in Australia at any time for the current flight, the Australia scenery can be disabled.
I do that, for this flight I was trying to do was YMML-KLAX, so I had FTX Global, NA and Australia enabled.

Have you tried the FSX Registry Repair tool from Flight1? Here is the link http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library
That truly sucks, sorry to hear you're having problems. I would check your disk too for errors.
I have never heard of this tool, will try now.
