Scenery.cfg Proper Location?

[pkimberling]

Somehow I got identical "scenery.cfg" files in both my FS9 main folder and in the "Documents and Settings" folder.

Can/would some please tell me which is the proper folder so I can delete the incorrect one?

Many thanks in advance,

Paul

Where in the Documents and Settings folder?

If you are refering to this one:

C:\Documents and Settings\PSolk\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9

My understanding is that it is required

That's where I have it, too.

Should it also be in the fs9 main folder?

I found this exact same problem a while back. I was trying to uninstall some scenery and it didn't work, so I edited it out of the cfg file. Went back in and the scenery was still there. I finally figured out I had two copies of the file.

I think I deleted the one in the main folder, and left the one in the other profile folder.

Thanks, craig.

I'll try it and see what happen.

Craig and others.

Please note. The scenery.cfg belongs in the "main fs9" folder - NOT the "Documents and Settings" folder.

You can have it there, but if you edit it there (Documents and settings) it probably won't work.

I tried it in both folders separately, and it MUST be in the main fs9 folder - at least on my system.

Generally, the copy of the scenery.cfg file found in the drive:\Documents and Settings\(USER_NAME)\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9 folder is written to that location if the flight simulator senses an error or fault. That file, along with dxdiag.xml, is sent to the Microsoft database, if you press the Send Report on the Send/Don't Send message.

As an aside, many of the corrections provided in the FS9.1 Update are a result of submitting the error reports.

Thanks for the info.
