Roger Wensley Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Does anyone have any idea about getting GenX to start working again once it has stopped? After years it has just.... stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 My guess is perhaps an OS update? Try running in a Compatibility Mode? Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Tom, what is a compatibility mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Tom, tried different combinations within compatibility but no result. Ah well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Perhaps a reinstall of SceneGenX? Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1biggles1 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 This sounds to me like you have reach the limited number of allowed scenery areas, at this point FS will start deleting areas out of the the scenery.cfg file. just adding it back into the scenery library will result in FS just deleting something else so the way forward is to look at what scenery's you can combine into one scenery/texture folder Howard The Natural World Scenery biggles-tnw@outlook.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Tom, This is a new laptop with everything copied over from the hard drive of the imploded old one. FS9 still works, though there are some minor faults to be cleaned up, and almost everything else is ok. It could be that the much newer 7th generation chip is not compatible with GenX.

Roger Wensley Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Biggles, this is about a scenery making programme, not about scenery as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 As I remember I had to install it onto my computer, then rename that folder and replace it with my original computer's folder? I think? I started with the 3.0 installer, then added the 3.5 update. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the i3 7th Gen on this new laptop is too modern to deal with such an old programme. I get messages to that effect about other items.

Roger Wensley Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Tom, Do you still have the downloaded version? I mean the download before you installed Scenery GenX on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
