Error Can't Find SCENDB Local Directory!!

Postby JayS » Fri Dec 26, 2003 9:48 am

I'm getting a "Scenery.cfg error: Local directory does not exist." All of the required folders in the Scenedb directory are listed each time I press OK. But, all of these folders are there and they are spelled correctly. Needs some help.
I had created a backup folder for originally installed SCENEDB folder  (called it Scenedb_orig).  While looking for another problem (an AC folder), I changed back to original copy after renaming the modified SCENEDB folder to SCENEDB_New,  found my AC problem and fixed it, then went back to the SCENEDB folder I had saved as SCENEDB_New and got the above error message when starting CFS2.

JayS, have you added or removed any scenery lately and forgot to remove or add it via the scenery library?

Not sure, but in trying to find my other problem I may have.  For example, I replaced the SCENEDB folder with th eone originally instaled.  This would have not included some scenery that the last play of the game had installed.

Ok, try this. If you can start your game, go into your Scenery Library. Remove any add on scenery you have. Then take a flight. Go back out and reinstall your addon scenery via the Scenery Library. It will rebuild the database and hopefully fix you up.
