As many of you know some addon sceneries you download these days come in multiple parts sometimes - 1 directory for the airport, 1 directory for the landclass and sometimes even 1 directory for the surrounding areas of the airport or perhaps a nearby city. Each directory containing the usual scenery and texture directories and making you add each one into your scenery.cfg file (manually or through FS).My question would be that if there were no duplicate files names then would it not be possible to have them all combined into just one directory in your Addon Scenery folder with just the one set of scenery and texture folders? (This of course not withstanding some of the .BGL files that are asked to be put in the \scenery\eure or \scenery\namw etc directories)Sounds a little confusing I know, just would like to know if this will work as to try an cut down the entries in the scenery.cfg file and running out of room as I did hear that there is a limit as to the number of entries one can have in their scenery.cfg file. True?Thanks.

They're in multiple entries because some need to have priority over others, (Airport over landclass for example)Putting them in one folder would defeat this.

Hi.I've been considering it myself, just to rationalise the untidy mess I've made while randomly installing addon sceneries. It should be ok to put, say, all airports in one folder, all landclass in another, scenery / autogen in a third, mesh in another.However, if you have a few, very large, layers that may affect loading times. And, of course, you can't be so precise in deciding which to enable or disable.I've been thinking I might do it for each country, or perhaps each continent, sometime soon... but the weather is far too nice to spend much time at a PC!Regards,D

HiJust a thought, if you download, the SceneryConfigEditor V1.0.7 in the FSX Utility's section. You might find that is the answer to your problem. Far,far easier to use than the inbuilt editor, both FS9 and FSX.Regards JohnT

HiI have a lot of my addon scenery (particularly freeware but also some payware) combined in various folders for different countries / regions etc, each containing a scenery and a texture folder. It is not always possible to combine certain addons however, as, for example two different areas may have scenery or texture files with the same name (eg terminal.bgl) although these may represent totally different elements of the scenery (eg different terminals). You would not however want to combine all your addon scenery into just one folder as apart from clashes with multiple files having the same name, it could be a nightmare finding the files if you wanted to remove any particular scenery area.The scenery library can contain a large number of entries (I have around 800) so there is no real need to try to squash everything into one directory and with some addon sceneries (such as the various Aerosoft German payware series) their positions in the scenery library relative to each other is important, so these cannot easily be combined. If I am combining scenery addons that come with specific landclass files in a separate folder, I place these in a separate combined landclass folder that I keep at a level below all the airport scenery and this seems to work. You do however need to check each scenery addon after you install it to ensure it is all looking ok.Bill_{Windows XP Pro SP2; Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0Ghz CPU; Arctic Cool 7Pro; ASUS P5N-E-SLI Motherboard;4GB Corsair 800Mhz DDR2 RAM; 768MB nVidia GeForce 8800GTX Dual VGA Graphics card;2x 500GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive; 650W (2 x 12V) PSU; 2 x 1000GB + 1 x 150GB Western Digital External Hard Drive; CH Pro Yoke and PedalsAll helping to power 302GB of fs9!}
