btbenoit Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I did the copy and paste method, and everything went smooth except my addon scenery. It's in the folder, just not in the game. I'm having to re add the scenery. Did I forget to copy/paste something? Windows 10 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The copied scenery.cfg file in the main FS9 folder should have taken care of that. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btbenoit Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 The copied scenery.cfg file in the main FS9 folder should have taken care of that. I have a newscenery.cfg and an oldscenery.cfg. Is that what your talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The path to your scenery probably changed, check in scenery.cfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btbenoit Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don't see Scenery.cfg on my old PC? I'm on my old pc that FS9 has been installed on for a long time. When I look at my scenery in the game, every thing is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Should be in the root folder of FS9. You may have to enable "show hidden and system files". With a few exceptions you can put scenery files anywhere on your computer and as long as the path in scenery.cfg is correct the sim will find them. (Mine are on a different HD, so one drive can read the program while the other reads scenery.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leuen Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) There is a searching tool named "Everything". Install it and it will literally find everything in your system. BTW, I would highly recommand to evrybody to do regularly special backups of the actual scenery.cfg. It's just a well-intentioned advice!

leuen Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Appdata is the straw to which one can still clutch! A good and helpful choice anyway. But don't forget doing a backup, it could be very useful next tme. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Location probably depends on your OS and system configuration. Backing up scenery.cfg, fs9.cfg, and the logbook is almost mandatory, all are known to get corrupted (my method is simple and keeps the backup in the same folder ready to use - right click on the file and "add to zip", need to restore, right click on the zip and "extract here"). Everything is good, and fast, due to maintaining a database of all files, but this also makes it a resource hog for what it does; on my system with merely two 500gig drives Everything uses over 300meg RAM constantly.

btbenoit Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 One more question. My scenery is there, but the AI aircraft isn’t. Commercial and military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leuen Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 As you're successfully using the Everthing tool, you should search for 'traffic bgl'. If you don't get any results, it means that you haven't create any AI traffic. Anyway, you should be more precisely about what you have done up to now. Otherwise nobody would be able to support you with helpful advices. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I copied and pasted all the Flight Simulator 2004 files from C:\program files (86)\flight simulator 2004. Also on my laptop I dont have C:\users\(name)\appdata\roaming\ to put fs9.cfg in Where do I put traffic.bgl?

tgibson_new Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What AI? Is it an addon? If so, which? Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btbenoit Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) What AI? Is it an addon? If so, which? I wish I could be more specific. I have a lot of add on scenery where AI aircraft fly to. A lot of the MAIW scenery also. A couple I flew yesterday is the MAIW Pensacola NAS and New Orleans NAS and Louis Armstrong airport.

btbenoit Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I think I may have found part of my problem. What folder does scenery.cfg go? Edited July 20, 2022 by btbenoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Into the main FS folder. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btbenoit Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Guys, I want to apologize. I'm sure I'm making things confusing with the questions and answers, so if it's ok, I like to start over. I will refer to Flight Sim 2004 as FS9. I did a complete new install from the fs9 disc's to my laptop pc w/ Windows 10. C:\Flight Simulator 9 Installed the fs9 update installed the fs9 no cd patch I copied the folders and files from C:\program files (x86)\flight simulator 9 FOLDER ONLY!! from my old pc (it has been installed on for many years) Pasted the folders and files in C:\Flight simulator 9 on laptop pc I right clicked fs9.exe, changed to windows service pack and run as administrator and created a short cut to the desktop. I'm hearing a lot of you saying, and I'm seeing files in other areas, so I'm not sure if I have everything. I'm not sure where to put fs9.cfg The AI aircraft from add on scenery that I have installed are not showing up. None flying or on the ground. Traffic BGL seem to all be in the right place. Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhinson Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'm not sure where to put fs9.cfg The AI aircraft from add on scenery that I have installed are not showing up. None flying or on the ground. Traffic BGL seem to all be in the right place. The file fs9.cfg would have been created when you installed from disc. In Windows 10 it will be at a location similar to this: C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\Micxrosoft\FS9 The files at such locations are hidden by default, you may need to "show hidden files" to see them. I would advise against copying the old fs9.cfg across. This file contains settings specific to your computer. As you are moving files from a different computer you could find some of the settings are unsuitable. The file Traffic.bgl is for the FS9 default AI traffic. If you have created your own custom AI traffic you will have created traffic files under other names. These are usually located in Flight simulator 9\Scenery\World\Scenery . If both the aircraft and traffic files have been copied from your old installation, they should be working. Check your FS9 settings: Settings > Traffic > Air Traffic.
