Just a thought, I'm not sure if all early ATR's had autothrottle hold......

============================================================== Mr.Pat I've had steam verify the integrity of my C:/Steam/Steamapps/Common/FSX files. It showed no errors More I think about it more I believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my FSX installation itself. When I run the UTX USA installer it works just fine. During the proces I get four times the option of browsing to the above location, no problems sofar. In the end I get the positive confirmation that the Installation has completed, no prob. (The neccessary folders have all been added to the FSX Scenery folder.) But after I click close on the last final confirmation screen another small app has to start; The UTX Scenery setup tool. (same as in boxed, a screen with a lot of options which can be (un)ticked at wish. It is here that I get this error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SCENERY.CFG or other simulator file(s) could not be located at the expected location below: C:\Users\Peter XXXXX\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SCENERY.CFG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the message is correct : My location here is: 'with SE' C:\Users\Peter XXXXX\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX SE There is no (by default) SCENERY.CFG file in that folder. When I run FSX SE and close it no SCENERY.CFG is added there. Only the FSX.CFG file is there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The essence of my problem here is : When I change the FSX folder.name manually and add a copy of the SCENERY.CFG from FSX root in this folder the error message remains. I checked FS9 and it is the same situation, there's only the Basic FS9.CFG in the....... User/App/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9 folder (no SCENERY.CFG at least on my system) Apart from deinstalling through Steam itself. I'm now totally totally out of options and knowledge here. The last days I was more optimistic but rightnow I feel that I will never ever be able to add my UTX USA (and I also have UTX EUR waiting) in my FSX-SE Here is a link on FLIGHT1 describing exact the same issue and the solution. https://www.simforums.com/forums/topic57694.html I know my own limitations, and I have many, this is a destination beyond my horizon! I am afraid that I'm losing all motivation in my Fsim right now. Because whenever I would fly FSX SE over USA and EUR I would allways be reminded of this issue. Or when visiting Flightsim and Avsim one is allways confronted with ads. That's normal. Publishers have to promote their products and the adds are a means of income for the FSIM-sites. But I know I will not feel at ease when I would see ads of the reseller of this particular product. Because this product has really caused me some major inconvenience now. There are simply no other LandClass options for me, the're all way too expensive for me. Thank god there was a guy on a Dutch Fsim-site who followed the thread and offered assistance too. I wish there was someone with 'Teamview' who could follow the process from his side. Well thanks again for all your help, stay well, regards : Peter

ok happy me , after searching faulty settings somewhere in /name/appdata/roaming/Msoft/I found a remaining entry which I overlooked in my first search. I deleted it, reinstalled FS9 and it looks like the basic version that I have now (Only with the FS9-update and FS9-nodisk) is error-free. However I still cannot figure out what caused these initial hickups. As usual I will make a safe backup of it so I have a reference point if needed. again happy me. stay well Peter

Mr Pat... Dealing with 'fundamental changes......' I entered 'Steam' just 5 days ago now. I'm no different then 'most of the nextdoor men and women' when it comes to fundamental changes. You (in this case me) allways want to do things 'the old way' I think in this whole discussion which has taken so much of your and my time, I simply overlooked the fact that I got this 'thing' from Steam in the first place. So I'll take this path now. I will go to Steam and see what options they have after downloading and installing a program on a PC. I can imagine that the best option would be to completely remove FSX SE through their program. I only added manually 'Flyaway Simulations Global Mesh' , put the files in the scenery folder and added them in the FSX SE ,Settings , Scenery Library , Add Area. All without any problem. By the way, these freeware files 45GB are a good replacement of my FSglobalX which would not install either, but the publisher here does not claim that it can be installed in FSX SE. So I will first remove the 'Fly-away' files in the explorer. Then I'll go to Steam and explore their program-options. I'll post my findings here. Thanks for yr help. regards Peter

Did you first install the required ORBX Global Base packs ?

Hi mr Pat, mr Piet here, Still with the family in 'Lock-down' here but as long as we are kind to and understand each other we have the strengh to make the trip. I remember that before the lockdown became effective I thought by myself: 'at least I will have the time now to make those long intercontinental flights I allways wanted to make but never had the time for...' Have not been able yet to do that since my long lasting FS9 is also running out on me. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?321599-FSX-SE-80fps_FS8-40fps_FS9-5fps this is the first on my actions list: - Look for any residues (tick: show all hidden files boxes)of any former UTX installation anywhere in my system - then :the path should be C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. - then: - Have you tried taking the untouched Scenery.CFG file from out C:/Steam/Steamapps/ Common/FSX, and placing it into C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX After the first Installation I got from Steam : the following path was created: C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE This was side by side with my Boxed version: C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX I have to admit here that before installing my Steam-FSX I have been so stupid not to have uninstalled and cleaned my Boxed version first. I'm learning from the resulting effects for that now, I have to read so carefully now, word for word of what is being said on that issue. I changed this manually one time to :C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX this did not help ; so I changed it manually back FSX-SE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/0/135511294065310472/ I read on steam that the actual name of the folder would be of less importance as long as the correct files are there, don't know the value of that remark.... So as I see it now :the actual question seems to be: Is this problem caused by the fact: - that the exact full name and path of the folder is not correct - that the correct file is not available in the folder that is there. I will restart FSX now, close it and copy the then created root FSX/scenery.cfg to the C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE folder as it is named in my set-up I just thought I also have the option of reinstalling from Steam itself after proper deinstall and full CC-clean-up. I'll keep you posted. stay well and regards Peter

Hi Mr. Brian , thanks again and again for yr help and efforts. I am in a position I do not want to be in... I'm with my family in lockdown. It's not nice but with kindness and understanding for each other we are all doing as best as we can. Before going into this situation I thought : Well at least I have my FS9 and FSX to finally being able to make those long Intercontinental flights I allways wanted to but never had the time. Then the FSE UTX issue came. With great help from yourself and other members I have several options now to resolve this. I will do that. But then 2 day ago during a flight my FS9 suddenly dropped from 40fps to 5fps. With respect If you are interested please see the details; https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?321599-FSX-SE-80fps_FS8-40fps_FS9-5fps So now I have FSX SE with a small issue and I have FS9 which will hardly start at all. Which leaves me with my FS2002 that is still flying as good as ever .............. ? Once again I'm impressed with the help and efforts I get from fellow simmers here and I hope that someday I can offer some assistance to another member too. Regarding the UTX: I will now make a schedule of all the options and information that have been presented to me and plan for coordinated and step by step actions to fly over a superbly detailled FSX UTX USA. regards , will post my results here , Peter

WIN10 - I7 6700K - GTX1050TI4GB - 16GBDDR4 - SSD 500GB - SOUNDBLASTER X-FI EXTREME ON SSD :FSX ACC - FS9 - FSGLOBALX - UT(X) EUR USA CAN - FSCENEX and many many more..... On my HDD still residing FS2002 with some add-ons Ulttraffic Emma Field runs at 40fps. Before our lock-down became effective I was at least looking forward to being able to make those long Intercontinental flights I allways wanted but never had the time for : Then this happened: Until 3 days ago my FSX SE and FS9 ran 60-100 fps.-no probl whatsoever never. Then during an FS9 flight suddenly , without any warning , there was just a little very very soft crackle from the speakers and FS9 went to 5 FPS and almost Froze. I stopped and thought I overloaded my system because I had been flying FSX SE and FS9 all day about 20 hrs without stopping , during the 'Lockdown' . I started FS9 again , slow start and remaining 5 FPS then I restarted FSX it remained 60-80fps. I waited a little , rebooted my PC , started FS9 same problem. I've had FS9 since 2004 , flew it the last 16 years, I've had many issues with it , all because my system at those times was just too to light to fly with high settings. But it allways started up and flew with the specs it was capable off then. Never had an issue without a simple cause with it. Now I deinstalled all addons and FS9 itself.(all through the control panel). Then I Deleted The C:/User/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9 folder and Ran CCleaner to clean everything , rebooted and reinstalled FS9 on SSD giving me a clean reinstall!! The Installation as went as normal , checking DX ok. Reinstalled FS9 again (from original disks) ran FS9 upgrade and FS9 no-disk. Restarted FS9 again and to my panic the issue remained ????? FSX SE stayed at 80fps - FS8 stayed at 40fps I've done no manual changes to WIN10 . In Nvidea Config. FSX = at Vert.sync adaptif , FS9 = Vert.sync default I reinstalled the WIN10 Nvidea Geforce drivers and the Soundblaster soundcard drivers, rebooted and restarted FS9 still the same problem. (I have a small issue with FSX SE - ULTX USA also but that is non vital) I'm a bit out of options now , I most certainly do not never ever never want to lose my FS9!!!! FSX in itself can present issues too. Have had a fair share of that, but when i'm a bit tired of resolving issues I go back to my FS9 and know for sure that i can fly it at all maxed settings for houres and houres. It's allways been rock solid stable on my system.......... I'ts like a ghost entered my pc ?? ..... I dont want to reset my WIN10 , have no time for it. Is there anybody in here who might have had a similair problem or could point me in some direction where to look. thanks so much for any help stay well and regards Peter

Mr Pat I.ve decided to give it a bit rest I found a quote on steam that it would not matter what is the name of the folder as long as the right files are in it... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/0/135511294065310472/ I'm guessing, you've probably discovered the Scenery.cfg file that's also found within your Steam installation folders for FSX. It's a 'fraud' that seems to be designed to confuse us all! lol But seems to be completely irrelevent to the Steam install of FSX. Instead the game still uses the same default folder location of the active 'scenery.cfg' as it would do with a non Steam install of FSX. Hope that helps. All the best. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll read your mail very carefully and have done sofar more or less as you described, now in the process of cleaning everything up first and then take a next step. I am more confident now and try to be more thoughtfull instead of impulsive. I have come to enjoy this learning process. Thanks again for yr help we are in lockdown here , so I have time to spare....... I'll keep you posted Please stay well regards Peter

Hello Pat, In the old days we had all these beautiful boxed add-ons , I remember Wilco's airport2000 volume 1, 2 and 3 and Real Airports, they gave you some 5/6 airplanes , some 5/6 airports , adventures all in a box with a written manual. They were for FS98, FS2000 and FS2002. In the Netherlands they costed around 30 eur. My PC's would struggle to display the improvements, but to me they were sort of the beginning of our add-on world. I have this issue of not being able to add UTX USA and UTX Eur to FSX SE. I just managed to install my boxed Just Flight FSceneX into my FSX SE. I ran the installer, It offered C:/Program files86/.../.../.../.. to install to but I was able to browse to C:/Steam/Steamapps/ Common/FSX and it installed just fine. Could that be an indication that my PC's registry is less mixed up as I first thought? So my UTX won't install in FSX SE, at least the installation runs fine, I can browse to my C:/Steam/Steamapps/Common/FSX In the actual final installscreen it only shows one option which is FSX-STEAM . It installs and says Installation completed but after that the message comes,:' The SCENERY.CFG or other simulator file(s) could not be located at the expected location below: C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SCENERY.CFG Now I only have FSX_SE in that folder and not FSX without -SE. So I changed that name in the folder to 'FSX'only without 'SE' and started again, the error remained. I just wonder what would happen if I manually add the required entries in the scenery.cfg file and save it there, that would be not to difficult. (after making a backup first) If only someone could mail me the exact text of these entries something like : this is from FS9 [Area.053] Title=Ultimate Terrain - USA Local=SCENERY\UTUSA Layer=53 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Remote= The UTX setup tool will not start. However I checked my C:/...FSX-SE/Scenery folder and there are about 10 UTX folders added there. So then I started FSX SE and added the areas through the settings/scenery add area process, which went fine. But when I started FSX SE afterwards almost all of USA was covered with trees and trees only. How on earth am I going to solve this , I dare not think about complex changes in the registry or reinstalling my WIN10. And going to ORBX is a 'nogo' pricewise for me, and I would problably have the same problem there to. Flight1 forums is really huge. And often I simply don't understand their solutions, though there are many many posts there on this same issue. thanks to you and anybody else or some other 'wizzkids' who can give me a suggestion regards Peter I can add better pics if needed

Oh.no... I let CCleaner clean up the registry (it only came with left overs from the many (un)installments I've done the past 3 days, maybe the many left overs is a good sign) but my browser history was also gone. I can imagine that a lot of users of UTX FSX-SE must have seen this attachment before in their SIM-life, and they probably have left this issue far behind them I envie them, Hope to come their soon........ but for now I'll put it aside , Maybe in my sleep it this folder and registry maze will make a bit more sense and I get a bright idea. well stay well (that is the most important now) kind regards Peter the actual text of the error message (no doubt familiar to so many) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- error message : The SCENERY.CFG or other simulator file(s) could not be located at the expected location below: C:\Users\Peter Bootes\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SCENERY.CFG This is a critical problem.

dear Phantom Tweak : first of all thank you so much that in this huge fsim society there are people so kind enough to look at an issue which dates back 5 years or more. My lovely wife is keeps looking at me with big questionmarks in her eyes ,'what on earth is he (me) doing and panicing all day behind the screen?' And I say it's 'nothing' but body-language makes no mistakes. My first thought was also not to install Steam in ProgramFiles X86 , so I put it on C:\Steam. But is there a possibility or maybe a need !! to install the FSX-SE somewhere else than C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX My software and Windows knowledge is about 4 on 10 scale. I have in my explorer ; 'show all hidden / system files' as yes. Right now I've just made a backup of my registry file and I am about to begin a registry cleanup with CCTools. I would be so gratefull if you would be willing to stay a bit in contact with me (through this site of another medium (P.M. or) So someone said to me if you want addons to steam programs then you have to place these files in the same folder as where the program is installed; so here C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX So I have put the installer : UTX-Usa-23.exe in the Common Folder and also in the full : C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX folder. I don't understand that the installer has no problem in finding the path because every time(about 4 times) I have to point that during the installation process I point to : C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX. It's only after the initial installation after you click 'finish' and the UTerr. manager has to start then the error message comes with cannot find the scenery.cfg in 'that other' folder. I will start registry clean now and try a new installation and with respect let you know or post here what is happening. Thanks so much for you advice kind regards Peter

Dear Phantom Tweak for the last week I have been trying to Install UTX USA and UTX EUR in my STEAM: C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX. I'm not the youngest but I have long FSIM history from FS5 to FSX I allways have installed my Windows versions my self on my pc's. In the end I allways came where I wanted to be. My resources were limited so I allways had to wait many years before I could by a pc with sufficient specs to run the sim. Only january this year I was finally able to get a pc with enough power to run FSX. I first installed FSX boxed , was happy with the performance. Then I read that FSX SE would give even butter performance. I uninstalled (Control/panel) all my FSX add-ons, restart and uninstall FSX Boxed. Restarted and downloaded from Steam my copy of FSX SE and installed in C: which is my SSD , Steam/Steamapps/common/FSX. I had following add-ons in FSX Boxed: FSGlobalX ,ULT Terr EUR and USA , FSceneX. I Also downloaded FlyAwayScenery Global Mesh X and was able to copy that to the FSX Addons folder and I could add the areas in the Setting/scenery/Library. Sofar this is the only installation in FSX SE that was succesfull. Before I uninstalled FSX Boxed I checked the specs of my other addons and they all claim that they are compatible with FSX Staem. I'm going nuts and begin to regret switching to FSX SE. what I do: I put the installer in : C:/Steam/Steamapps/common I run the installer I select as installation path: C:\Steam\Steamapps\common\FSX The installation proceeds and seems to end succenfull. But then when the UTX USA screen has to be opened the message coms: The scenery CFG or other Simulator file could not be located. C:\Users\Peter\App data\roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SCENERY.CFG and indeed the file is missing there. I copied it from my FSX Steam location but still the same issue. I know there have allready hundreds of posts in all forums about this problem. I see posts of editing the windows registry , I dare not do that , even not after making a registry backup. Could you please give your opinion on the next question: If I uninstall my Steam from C:\Steam and reinstall in in C:\program files X86 is there any chance that that would be of any help here.? I can imagine that many simmers have had more or less the same issues and have worked it out also. I am out of options sofar and would like so very much to add the UTX to my FSX Steam Thanks for any reply Peter Bootes

'.............1-840001005 'Updating Component Registration' screen. It just stopped. I went into the registry, and followed the path: ..............' And yes , as I allways do I also did make a backup FSX on my HDD right after finishing this clean Install. regards Peter B.

Max thank you so much and first : best wishes for you and all of your family , let's leave this for now, I still do have my original 4 FS9 CD's that I can use allthough with the limitation that CD 4 is not completely installing. The missing Part which is : AUS.CAB I have been able to backup as a file on my HDD. I have had the fortune of being able to upgrade my pc to FSX Gold required specs. So I have started to set up my FSX as best as possible. Even if I am 14 years behind I can almost say goodbye to FS9 (not forever) now and see you in FSX. Thanks again and regards Peter Bootes

totally agree , For me the FS9 Glacier Bay freeware scenery is the best scenery addon I've ever had. I've downloaded hundreds of FS9 freeware (and all previous FS-versions before that) and enjoyed every one of them. I thank all developers and I can only hope that one day I will be able to make a little FSX Scenery addon object myself. I had LAGO FSSE for FS2004 and made 100 or more SE(2) files and enjoyed everyone of them. But that was an easy point and click program. I am learning to use Instant Scenery for FSX(I have the DEMO version), the manual says it's simple but untill now I've not yet been able to add one single object to KSEA. I envy all scenery programmers and airplane and utilities programmers and I say once again thanks for all your beautiful products. What a true miracle FSBuild is.

(WIN10home 64bit , ASUS MB , I7 6700K , GTX1050TI4GB , 16GB DDR4) o.k. sorry for this, I'm happy , I did not realise the nr. of posts sets the status. I will not post just to post to become senior. I know there are other things in the world now that that we are facing. I'm 67yrs old , I've been a simmer from the very start FS4 or FS5 cant remember, never spent a day without doing something with the sim. Tweaking, searching reading, sometimes buying and a lot of flying. But my family has always been more important to me than my hobbies, meaning that I always have had limited resources to spent on my sim. It took me always about 10 years after the release of the next version of MSFS FSim before I was able to buy a PC that could run that sim. So after FS2004 came out I had to wait untill 2016 before I had a system to run it as it was meant. FSX came out in 2006, only January this year I was finaly able to upgrade my PC to the required standards. Installation was a tough ride, I too ran into the 1-840001005 problem but as in my former post I managed to install FSX and Acceleration one time. I know I'm 16 years behind but it was superb, I could not sleep of excitement of what I had seen on my screen. Now why this post? Whenever I installed one of the previous versions of FS I had the habbit of making a full backup immediately after installation. I did this after checking if it worked as specified, I made the backup on another partion of my HD. Sometimes when my scenery or textures or aircraft were totaly mixed up I allways had my 'clean-backup' to revert to. Two weeks ago I installed FSX Gold/Acceleration but just yesterday I realised that I had forgotten to make a backup of the first clean installation. After some thought I came to the conclusion that I took a risk if I did not have a backup of the initial clean setup. (I had already added FSGlobalX ,UTX-UER , UTX-USA , FSceneX , LVLd-767X, QW-B757, lowered manually the max-speed of Simobjects/Groundvehicles and some more.) So yesterday I decided to go back to a clean install, I realised that that would certainly take much time, but as we are all 'grounded' right now, time is available. So I deinstalled the above addons in the proper way: Windows/settings/programs remove, then I deinstalled FSX Acceleration, then after restart I deinstalled FSX, this all went without a problem. Many restarts were in this process. Finaly I checked the registry for 'left-overs' and everything was clean. Restarted my PC and began a new installation. After this my Sim-live changed, I reinstalled the first 2 dvd's of FSX(The Luxe) checked it first, it ran as expected. So time for the Acceleration setup. I entered hell:I could not get it past the 1-840001005 'Updating Component Registration' screen. It just stopped. I went into the registry, and followed the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE begin here and follow the folder tree SYSTEM navigate to here CURRENTCONTROLSET then to here CONTROL then to here CLASS then to here Highlight: {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} find this exact key as shown here double-click: Upper Filters it must show 'PartMgr' in correct upper/lower casing only. I found the 'PartMgr' value correctly added. In a state of panic began the proces of seeking information again. Most of the information I found I had already seen before during my first installation. Just one hour ago I regained my strength and decided to give it one last last try ................... Suddenly it worked , it did stop at the same point, but I decided to wait it out. Then thanks everybody after 30 min.the setup suddenly continued till the end. I started FSX Gold , I entered the required license key first, FSX compiled scenery and it started up to the wellcome screen. I know I'm 16 years behind , but right now I'm happy to be able to participate in the never-ending FSX story and maybe become a senior member too........ stay well and regards Peter Bootes

how beautiful this world is.................................... I had the same question yesterday , i'm 67yrs (wonder if flightsim can update my profile, i'm no longer a junior member but happy with the compliment) I was a bit reluctant to poke around in the registry, as was the solution for me, and Acceleration is running great now. In regedit : Navigate each level of the above string till you arrive at the Key that you need to change the Value of the UpperFilters entry from 0 to PartMgr and remove any other words/numerals other than PartMgr in the dialog box where you add the value to the UpperFilters within this Key. Note that the word PartMgr is case sensitive and must be typed exactly as shown. Here is the navigation path to the required Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE begin here and follow the folder tree SYSTEM navigate to here CURRENTCONTROLSET then to here CONTROL then to here CLASS then to here click on : {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} find this exact key as shown here doubleclick: Upper Filters , must only show>> PartMgr in exact cases. Restart FSX , Acceleration Activation screen will appear stay healthy......... WIN10 I7 6700k 16GB GTX1050TI SSD 500G

Indeed also for me FS9 will probably forever remain my sim. I use it since it came out and still after all those years I cannot believe how stable and realistic it is. I love it every day. I still use LAGO FSSE objectplacer , Do you have any experience with that program? I have been able to add about 100 or so extra objects in the FSSE Object library but I cannot quite figure out how to configure the database itself. Was wondering if there's anyone who still knows that wonderfull WYSIWYG object place program. kind regards

young men , first a lot of bla bla ......... when we started our our sim's in late 90s there was no internet or maybe only a dial-up where 1mb download took 10 minutes. Our world was trial and error , but that teaches you how to learn everything you may ever want to know about your sim. At least that was what helped me most. For you, I would say :try your (physical) monitor settings first:brightness , contrast , game mode.... good luck and kind regards ....................
