marcori Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I changed my hardware and shifted from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Re-installed FSX Deluxe edition and acceleration. I could not find FSX.cfg file. Unistalled everything and re-installed clean FSX only, but still in directory User\me\appdata\roaming, there is no Microsoft directory. There is also another probem: I added some scenery but, even if the scenery appears in the game, the scenery.cfg file do not show the added scenery.

CRJ_simpilot Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Did you start the Sim from the get go? I think you need to in order for those files to populate. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) well, if he sees the scenery, then the sim must be running and there must be a fsx.cfg and a scenery.cfg. Sounds more like that "Show Hidden Files" default setting is still on... to show hidden/system files, 1 display C drive in explorer window 2 select tools from menu 3 select "folder options", then "view" 4 from the options, select radio button "show hidden files, folders, and drives" "missing" folders should now be visible. If so, your 'nanny' has been somewhat 'neutered'.

mrzippy Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Also uncheck "hide extensions for known file types". ;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcori Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks Loyd, the strange problem is that the "view hidden files" is checked. I can see the directory AppData\roaming where Lockheed-Martin\P3D directory and P3d.cfg resides, but there is no Microsoft|FSX directory where FSXcfg should be. As far as the scenery.cfg is not hidden and resides in the main FSX directory, but after adding sceneries to the scenery library, the file is not modified, but I can see the new sceneries while flying. I don't know if this is a issue, but I did't have this problem under Windows 7 (now I have Windows 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) The active FSX Scenery.CFG should be in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX. Your fsx.CFG should be in: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. Edited January 20, 2020 by tiger1962 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

marcori Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) The active FSX Scenery.CFG should be in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX. Your fsx.CFG should be in: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. The problem Tim, is that the directory Microsoft does not exist in both the path you indicate and I cannot understand how FSX could work in such situation. Sorry It was my fault. I use total commander to manage the files and I activated the function "show hidden files" and in fact I can see the above directory but without Microsoft directory. using explorer, Microsoft directories are there. I believe is a bug in Total Commander. Thanks anyway to all people that tryed to help. Ezio Edited January 20, 2020 by marcori addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cruised at 65 in Win 7, and now you should cruise at 85 in Win 10. HA. You scenery doesn't look good at 8 FPS. HA.

marcori Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 I installed as Admin and FSX goes well beyond 40 fps and I use Total Commander because makes my life easier when I work with files with a lot of tools not available in explorer ( i.e. multi rename ). I have it also on a pen drive and when i have to go to help some friend with their PC, I use it all the times. You should try it I reinstalled a clean FSX because I thought that FSX.cfg was not created. Now that I understood where my fault was, I can assure that I'm not going to make any new installation. Anyway I appreciated your Irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 To find files, I use Everything from http://www.voidtools.com I've found it's the fastest desktop search engine out there, & will start searching as you start typing. I've been using it for ages. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
