llivaudais Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 GSX I don't know, but we can certainly talk Scenery. 1. scenery CAN be installed in the addon scenery folder inside FSX 2. scenery CAN also be anywhere on the machine you want to put it - and the simpler the location, the better. here are some entries from my FSX-SE... [Area.120] Title=Addon Scenery Local=Addon Scenery Layer=131 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE [Area.121] Title=FreeMeshX - Africa Local=S:\FreeMesh\FreeMeshX - Africa Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Layer=104 [Area.128] Title=BONN Local=S:\Addon Scenery\BONN Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Layer=132 [Area.132] Title=addonTrafficMil Local=S:\Addon Scenery\addonTrafficMil Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Layer=127 [Area.134] Title=Bluesky_WA Local=K:\Photoscenery\Bluesky_WA Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Layer=134 [Area.135] Title=Bluesky_SoCal Local=K:\Photoscenery\Bluesky_SoCal Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Layer=135 The simplest method I think is to create a Addon_Scenery folder on the C:\ drive and put all sceneries there manually. A) it's easiest to find. B) it's easiest to add to the Scenery Library. C) it's easiest to remove if it doesn't work for you. create an addon folder and place the individual airports in labeled folders inside thusly: C:\ Addon_Scenery . CYVR .. scenery (scenery .bgl's go here) .. texture (textures go here if needed) . KMIA .. scenery .. texture etc If you have an installer that is capable of installing inside steam and FSX, use it if you want but I'd make some 'before' and 'after' screenshots to make sure that the scenery is actually installed and working correctly. I typically install to a dummy folder and move the files to my chosen location manually. No 'hunting' required. I keep my sceneries outside of FSX because most are shared by FSX, FSX-SE, P3d v2, and P3d v3. Most sceneries, you will note, are NOT inside a folder inside of any sim; no duplication except with Orbx sceneries. I use several different drives because of space considerations and I also use Win7 and Win10 so sharing sceneries saves a lot of space on both OS drives. I hope this helps Loyd Hooked since FS4... now flying: self-built i7-4790 at 4 GHz; GA-Z97X mobo; GTX 970; 16GB gskill; quiet, fast and cool running.

yancovitchvictor Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 thanks for that, regarding addon sceneries...there's a lot i didn't know.......... but i think fsdt gsx defaults to pgmx86 as addon manager, and cyvr is installed in that place also, but is activated in fsx....sorry ..haven't the proper language here.....it's so difficult to learn anything and searching in the forums takes soooo long.....soooo much time...... it seemed to work when i installed it or them that way, but it took so long to show up , and after awhile, the scenery got wierd and pixelated etc....could have been oom problem, that's why i needed to be sure about the installation first before exploring elsewhere....cheers..............vc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Computer specs look good! Do you have HIGHMEMFIX=1 under [Graphics] in your FSX.cfg? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancovitchvictor Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 yep...under graphics plus... [bufferPools] UsePools=1 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 as recommended by some.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Are you able to post some screenshots of what you are seeing when things don't look right? If you are in full screen mode, does your FSX resolution match Windows resolution? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancovitchvictor Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) 1920x1080 yep....anyways i uninstalled the fsdt cyvr airport, so i can't do any screenshots, but i have the scenery config editor, and have unenabled those, i wont use, so we'll see what happens with ooms.... basically i just needed to confirm the installation path of fsdt gsx and cyvr in fsx steam, which is in pgm files x86....but even at dream team forums i couldn't get an answer....strange....again....gsx seems to default to pgm files x86 and shows as addon manager, and the cyvr seems to be installed in that folder, which may be correct, but i wanted confirmation......i think from there it detects fsx and installs cyvr there.....but i'm ignorant about it....it's amazing how difficult it is to get info sometimes :) thanks for your kindness.....i'm a pianist, so i'm not very smart about these things :).....vic Edited October 20, 2020 by yancovitchvictor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
