Apollo212 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi After long and lengthy post on how to install scenery files among other things ,guess what I got it wrong ,how hard can it be I thought I had done everything right, made a scenery folder ie FreeMeshX\FeeMeshX -Asia but no joy still trying though,this is the error I'm getting with all the files I try to install ( Scenary config file error Invalid remote scenery path Area 134 click to continue ) still a few things to try just wondered if anyone could throw anylight on this please. I am obviously doing something wrong. KInd Regards Apollo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 No README instructions from the FeeMeshX folks? Actually I just read through the install instructions. At what point do you get your errors? Are you ever able to get it to show in your Library? I'm doing a Mediafire download of Antarctica since it's only 1GB. And will test it. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

longbreak754 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi Apollo, Appreciate that you are frustrated with this but opening another thread is not the best thing to do when you still have an active thread on the go where you have already sought anwers to the same problem (thread at https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?298733-Scenery-advice&p=1977820#post1977820). As I suggested in my post at post #19 of the referenced thread - get the Scenery Config Editor tool (found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/) - As I stated it can be used to activate scenery from outside of FSX and will show any errors straight away even before its loaded into FSX. It can also give pointers/hihglight as to what the problem is, be it due to invalid pathname to the scenery (which seems to be your problem) or due a total loss of the scenery files. In the case of the invalid pathname error try to re activate the scenery in FSX, or if you download the tool it will show the error and allow you to correct the pathname. I would also suggest keeping the naming conventions simple and adapt it to your own requirements. For example try something like the following structure........ C:\Addon Scenery >>>> C:\Addon Scenery\FreshMeshX >>>> C:\Addon Scenery\FreshMeshX\Asia >>>> C:\Addon Scenery\FreshMeshX\Asia\Scenery C:\Addon Scenery\FreshMeshX\Europe\Scenery Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Well, I thought I made an error with the file I tried downloading through MediaFire. I tried another download and I do not get a .zip to be opened by my 7Zip. This is what I get from those downloads: Whatever this is, it's useless! This file was FreeMeshX-Asia.7Z.004 click on picture to enlarge it! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm I will have to work on it lol I have found a large area of missing base scenery i bet it was when I put that Total pack on someone mentioned 2009 scenery well the first line of my scenery config reads Title=FS9 World Scenery Description=FS9 Scenery Data Clean_on_Exit=TRUE does that sound right I'm going to reinstall everything again ,I will get rid of everything fsx surely that will give me a new Scenery config when I verify the files in steam its just downloading all the errors OH well here goes it will be a long night lol Kind regards Apollo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo212 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Well, I thought I made an error with the file I tried downloading through MediaFire. I tried another download and I do not get a .zip to be opened by my 7Zip. This is what I get from those downloads: Whatever this is, it's useless! This file was FreeMeshX-Asia.7Z.004 [ATTACH=CONFIG]189702[/ATTACH]click on picture to enlarge it! thanks for trying anyway:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This file was FreeMeshX-Asia.7Z.004 [ATTACH=CONFIG]189702[/ATTACH]click on picture to enlarge it! It's a split archive Zippy, you have to have all 4 parts downloaded to a folder somewhere and then you open the first one (FreeMeshX- Asia.7z.001) with 7 zip, it assembles the four parts so you can extract them somewhere. Don't delete it just yet! :) Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 OK, thanks Jim! I thought I was going nutz for a moment! Now the Antarctica file was only one file and it was the same! Good thing I'm not really interested in this mess...er mesh. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I remembered downloading them as torrents and then I followed the instructions. No biggie. Everything worked as advertised. Also, I waited long time to install it cause I knew it was a work in progress for awhile. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It looks like you almost got it. In your other thread you mention fsx reports missing Area's. That is because you: -placed the files on your system, -activated them in the library, -then moved the files. FSX is now telling you: "I Can't find files in area that is listed in the scenery library...." ---------------------------- I'm not the best at heping with that. I know how to Prevent it, which is: "delete from the Scenery Library in FSX first,,, only then delete or move the files after..." But not so much how to Fix it. however, I think user 'Longbreak' and the program SceneryConfigEditor program will be able to help. ------------- Sorry I can't help more. At least now you know what the cause is. --------- There is no need to uninstall fsx. Actually, uninstalling FSX may not delete the Addon Scenery's you added. THere is also no need to download Free Mesh X again. All you need to fix (with some help) is the file: Scenery.cfg Take some time off, (and a painkiller), and recover from the dental surgery. This whole thing will look very different with a clear head. ----------------- I should add, the errors you are now seeing on startup, about th missing Area's, are just messages. FSX will still run perfectly fine. It's just annoying that you have to click OK 100 times before you get to FSX. But the program will still run just fine.:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AviatorMoser Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Well, I thought I made an error with the file I tried downloading through MediaFire. I tried another download and I do not get a .zip to be opened by my 7Zip. This is what I get from those downloads: Whatever this is, it's useless! This file was FreeMeshX-Asia.7Z.004 [ATTACH=CONFIG]189702[/ATTACH]click on picture to enlarge it! It's all detailed here. http://ninetwopro.com/freemeshx/fmx-installation/ "All four volumes are part of only one package. To extract, all you have to do (with 7-Zip) is extract the .001 file. By doing so, all the volumes extract seamlessly automatically. You CANNOT extract the other .002, .003, .004 volumes. You have to use 7-ZIP, which is free and open source, which can be found here." It's sort of like the FlightSimStore installers. They are split in multiple files, but they have a program that then unlocks and then extracts each part. FreeMeshX only just requires you have each part in a single folder, and then extract the first part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
