4 airports bought on steam stopped working

Postby Lemayan » Tue Apr 12, 2016 11:10 pm

I use FSXse with Win7 and DirectX 9

For some months I have been using Meigs, Lukla, Friday Harbor and Kilimanjaro Airport. I bought these from Steam and they all were working fine. Then, all of a sudden, I am getting error messages for each of the four (2 error messages for each of the two parts of Lukla). The one for Meigs KCGX reads:

Scenery. CFG File error. Local Scenery directory (KCGX\Scenery). In Scenery area 142 not found.

The error messages for the two Lukla files, Friday Harbor and Kilimanjaro are similar.

Please help me.

Have you tried to remove these airports from your scenery library in the sim, and reinstall them through Steam ?

Something else you can try is to rename your SCENERY CFG FILE to SCENERY.BAK When you restart FSX it should build another one.
The problem here is some how the files are no longer on your hard drive. When you restart Steam it should put them back.
One of the advantages of having FSX SE is everything is backed up on steam servers . Once you purchase something from steam it will automatically put back any missing files.
I would suggest that you contact steam support they should be able to solve the problem.
