How to access an FSX Addon scenery area?

Postby Hotshot » Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:24 am

I've deleted an area from the FSX scenery lbrary, but FSX won't let go of it. When I boot up, I get "SCENERY.CFG file error, local scenery directory [Addon Scenery\Old Warden EGTZscenery] in Scenery Area 175 not found."

The 'active' FSX scenery.cfg structure is the same as FS9, it's just in a different location.

The FSX 'active' scenery.cfg is located at ..\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\.. , not in the sim's main folder as it was in FS9.

Scenery.cfgs found in other locations are backups/fallbacks.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
