Classic British Flight Sim

Something different now.

I was fiddling with scenery add-on and must have deleted something I should not!

I get the following message just after FSX startup page appears:

"SCENERY.CFG file error. Remote scenery directory ( ) in scenery not found. Click OK to continue"

When I click OK, FSX starts and operates as normal (as far as I can see) and even my scenery add-ons work.

However something is obviously missing.

Any ideas? apart from uninstall/reinstall!!

You will fiddle won't you

Basically your scenery file is referencing something that you have moved or deleted. Can you tell us what you did?

All the fun of the fair

John.. you can't just delete things like scenery from FS without deleting it from 'within' FS first. With luck, what you've removed will be in your recycle bin (if you still have one in Vista) and if so.. restore it then start FSX again. If you really DON'T want that bit of scenery, open FSX and delete it from settings/scenery library first

Thanks for all the help. Good point about also having to delete Scenery within FS. I did not realise that. Does that apply to aircraft models also?

This morning it had a bit of a hiccup then sorted itself out.

I am getting no warnings now and everything is working.

So I promise to be careful!!

Hello Mate..

No, fortunately.. aircraft can come and go as they please, the only exception I can think of being if you have 2 models (1 aliased) and even then.. nowt drastic will happen. You have to have a panel of some description so the model using the panel on the aircraft you've just binned won't show and/or you'll get an error but you wouldn't do that anyway Likewise, if the aircraft not deleted used the soundfile from the deleted aircraft, nothing drastic should happen. In FS9, the aircraft will default to the Cessna (regardless of what it is).. not 100% sure of how it works in FSX but regardless, it's not life threatening

Hi All.
I fired up FSX for the first time,since breaking my wrist in november,i got the same message,i have not deleted anything from FSX,and the only scenery that i can recall being added,was when i installed the aerosoft cat.
I also got a strange message before FSX shut itself down,while taxing the pmdg js41,DEMO TIMED OUT FSX will shut down,seeing as i have the full delux version +excelleration pack installed and registered,this was a shock as well as annouying.

Hi Alan

This is odd Did you ever have the FSX demo installed??

As for the scenery error, the best thing I can think of off the top of my head would be to uninstall the cat completely, restart FSX and let it build the cfg and if no error, try and install the cat again.

I only use FSX high days and holidays and for some time now I've been getting a box when FSX has closed saying fsx.exe - Application Error. The instruction at "0x200c7489" referenced memory at "0x06d2a4e0". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program. I only ever see this when I've closed FSX but I now see it almost every time! You are not alone in having a wobbly FSX

Hi Dave.b.
I never installed the demo version,so it was a strange message,which i have not had before,i will have to play around,and see if i can track the culprit down,as for deleteing any files,the only thing i installed deleted then reinstalled was silent hunter 4,which was about all i could manage after breaking my wrist,as i did not have much strength or movement in my right wrist,for more than 4 months,i am still not able to lift the things i could before the accident,but i can now get most of the movement in my wrist,so i can start playing with the fs9/fsx sims again.

I think it does that if it hasn't activated or looses the activation registry key. You haven't used something that "cleans" the registry recently have you?

Hi Ben.
No i have done nothing with the registry,that would account for that,i will have to play around with the fsx/js41,to see which is the culprit,it might just be a one of glitch,i hope.
