[General] Title=FS9 World Scenery Description=FS9 Scenery Data Clean_on_Exit=TRUE does anyone have a copy of their Scenery.cfg that they could lend me to resolve this Many thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 My scenery file exists and is in the main FSX folder it reads as follows... Wrong. That's a backup. Your working Scenery.CFG is in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubbins Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 This file is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX Is this no the main FSX folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yes the FS9 header is correct. This is a known issue which has happened to others, take a look this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/1/392184522721084828/ How to verify your FSX Steam Edition files: Load Steam and navigate to your Game Library Right-click once on FSX Steam Edition and select Properties Select the Local Files tab and left-click on Verify Integrity of Game Files Allow the process to complete and allow Steam to download any files that need to be reacquired Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

gubbins Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks for that steer However no joy, still get the same message I deleted the Scenery.Cfg and let it update through the verification process , exited and restarted Steam and then FSX, it took longer to stop this time but still stopped. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Uninstall Orbx and run FSX again? If it won't run, let Steam verify the install and launch FSX again.

il88pp Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Gubbin, the location you named is the main fsx folder. (for steam). For you at least. It is about 14 Gb after install. And grows as you install addon aircraft and airports and such. (that main steam folder with files does not have to be installed in "C:/program files (x86)/.." though. Other people may have the path starting somewhere else.) The active scenery.cfg file however is somewhere else. It is in the location that f16jockey gave. The active scenery.cfg file, in "C:/appdata/..../...etc" is the file that fsx reads when starting. The active scenery file produces the list of installed airports that you see when you look at the "scenery library list" in fsx-settings when running/playing fsx. -------- Yes, in the main folder is indeed also a scenery.cfg file. However, that file is only a backup file that Fsx uses to restore the active one if that active one accidentally gets removed. (you will understand that the backup file that is in the main folder should never be edited or deleted. Keep that file as it is.)

gubbins Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Many thanks to all that helped, problem has been solved..sort of. I feel like I have taken the idiot Brexiteer route but heh ho, I am sure that there is an avatar with a yellow vest some where. So I year zeroed and uninstalled steam and installed P3D version 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
