Scenery.CFG file error..I don't know which scenery is in error.

I DL and installed :

SceneryConfigEditor, but I don't know how to correct error.

 

Read several posts, but don't understand what I should do.

Any step 1,2,3....tuts?

When you see the message, right down the Area#.

 

After you shut down FSX, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX and open the Scenery.cfg with Notepad.

 

Find (Ctrl+F) [Area.nnn] where nnn= the number from the message.

 

Note the Title= line from that entry.

 

Change Active=TRUE to Active=FALSE. This will stop the message.

 

Start FSX and go to the Scenery Library. Find the entry that matches the Title= line.

 

If this is an addon you have gotten rid of, delete that entry from the Scenery Library.

 

Optional- delete the SceneryConfigEditor and do all of your scenery management in the Scenery Library. It works just fine.

 

peace,

Your scenery .cfg is referencing a location outside the sim where it expects to find an addon scenery, but doesn't.

Try this.

For the benefit of the rest of the community it is the polite thing to tell us what you did to fix it.

 

Thank you

Hello all. I am adding to this older thread because my problem is much the same. I am new to simming, (weeks, in fact.) and I am getting 'Scenery.CFG file error' after rather ineptly attempting to add files as addons. So I don't do any further damage, will the programme still run as it should if I just ignore the file error message, or will I find a problem somewhere down the line. Thanks

"Scenery.CFG" file error messages will appear if you have deleted a scenery file installed before deleting it from the Scenery Library. The Sim is still looking for that missing scenery file.

ahh right, so I can pretty much ignore it until I learn enough to find that glitch, and the worst is that I will get annoyed having to click 'ok' when the sim starts up - thanks.

The Bean answered ths perfectly.

1) Make note of the area number displayed during the error message. If necessary, make note of the path to the file that is displayed also. Completely close FSX.

 

2) Open the Scenery.cfg file with notepad. it is in the same place as the FSX.CFG file. C:\Users\Pat\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX as an example. Yours, naturally, will be unique to your machine, but similar. Use "Find" to locate the area number noted in step 1 above. Such as [Area=345], for example. Change the ACTIVE= line in that particular area to FALSE. Save the Scenery.cfg file and close it.

 

3) Open FSX. Go to the Scenery Library. It's under the Settings heading. Locate the name of the area in question. It may or may not be in your Add-On Scenery folder, or someplace else. That's why I mentioned the need to make note of it's path. Left-click to highlight it, then click the Delete Area button. Click OK

 

4) Close the Scenery Library, in other words, Click OK until you are back in the Main Settings window. It will rebuild it's databases when you do. Close FSX.

 

When next you open FSX, the error should be gone.

Does this help any?
