Steam Scenery.cfg. Help please

[Calypso]

I have been running FSX Steam edition for a number of years now. Yesterday, I started the program and was greeted with an INSTALL screen on from Steam.

Years of numerous add ons seem to have disappeared. Nice one Steam.

I had no choice but to "install" FSX again, and sure enough, it looks like I've lost everything.

When I run FSX now, I get about 80 error messages concerning my scenery not being found.

Is there any way I can get rid of these, please?

Probably should have done this first before reinstalling:

I think both of those solutions would have caused the same problem. When you verify local files with Steam games, it will reset all files back to the what they were on a clean install, including resetting config files in the FSX directory back to their original defaults (files created after install, like the FSX.cfg in the Documents folder should be fine though). One would need to back up the config files first, and then restore them to avoid losing any changes.

 

Calypso, do you happen to have a backup anywhere of the FSX config files?
