Scenery Library Object Not Found Error

[thiscox]

I found the following link in the Microsoft Knowledgebase concerning the above error message. Seems like it has something to do with bad BGL files, including the default ones. The link has some procedures which I have not tried to correct the problem.

Health warning, Tom! This link actually contains some rather poor and inadequate advice from Microsoft. The majority of 'Missing Object' messages are caused by missing, or incorrectly installed, third party library BGLs, and are usually quite easy to trace and put right as long as the user makes a note of the missing object's hexadecimal ID code from the error message.

I'm always willing to try and help if anyone has these problems.

Kind Regards

I think you're right Gerrish -- that most of the Lib Object not Found reports are due to wrong path or defective library object creations. However, when I first installed FS2002 (full install) I got a similar report of missing bgls for certain locations in the Carribean area. At that time I wrote down the idents of the missing bgls, uninstalled the sim and re-installed it. I got the same error report on the 2nd installation. I then viewed the .cab files on the install CD, found the files noted and unzipped them into the proper Scenerydb scenery folders.

I no longer got the error report, BUT, out of curiosity, I went to the Carribean areas that should now be corrected and most but not all of them looked OK. At least 2 airports, however were missing some of their texture bitmaps.

I suspect that M$, in their haste to meet schedule noticed the no texture problem and "rigged" the install process to not load the bgls calling those textures (just my suspicion ).

I chalked it up as just another "to be expected" bug in a new sim :-)

How do you go from the Hex code to the scenery bgl? My error message has an ID code of 0x4E6F7661, 0x54726565, 0x4C696231, 0x00000001. Others have reported to me the same hex code in their error message. I am getting this in several different scenery locations in the SW US, and I suspect it's trees or clouds or something which would be common to both locations.

Your help is appreciated and this will alleviate some support problems I've had.

I start to see this message since FS95, FS98, Fs2000 and also FS2002, I started to build my airports with FS5 and transfer all up to FS2002 and the problem was all the time that I missed to transfer the proper textures from one FS to the next version.
Believe me until today I knew that the microsoft code was hex, I was thinking all the time that was memory location code.
To discover which Textures were missing You direct your plane around the airport until you get the announce of missing objects and with the beautiful Airport for Windows I compare the areas and discovered the objects missing textures.
At the beginning with SYD and ASD was more difficult to found my mistakes.
