"Scenery.cfg file error. Invalid Remote scenery path in scenery Area.115".

 

If area.115 is the Addon Scenery folder, go into FSX Scenery library, select Addon Scenery and then click on "edit."  See if the window is pointing to the correct folder.

I do not see any ref. to "Area .115" other then in Scenery.cfg  I will make a copy of the entries inside of scenery.cfg and send it over.

 

Gary

Below are some of the parts of Scenery.cfg  It starts with [General] and goes all the way down to [Area.115]

 

[General]
Title=FS9 World Scenery
Description=FS9 Scenery Data
Clean_on_Exit=TRUE

[Area.001]
Title=Default Terrain
Texture_ID=1
Local=Scenery\World
Layer=1
Active=TRUE
Required=TRUE

[Area.002]
Title=Default Scenery
Local=Scenery\BASE
Layer=2
Active=TRUE
Required=TRUE

 

(skipped down)

 

[Area.111]

Title=Rio de Janeiro

Local=Scenery\Cities\Rio

Layer=111

Active=TRUE

Required=FALSE

 

[Area.112]

Title=Las Vegas

Local=Scenery\Cities\LasVegas

Layer=112

Active=TRUE

Required=FALSE

 

[Area.113]

Title=Global, Generic & Vehicle Libraries

Local=Scenery\Global

Layer=113

Active=TRUE

Required=TRUE

 

[Area.114]

Title=Propeller Objects

Local=Scenery\Props

Layer=114

Active=TRUE

Required=TRUE

 

[Area.115]

Title=Addon Scenery

Local=Addon Scenery

Layer=115

Active=TRUE

Required=FALSE

 

I interpret it as follows:

 

[Area.115]                                               FSX reads this last (addon scenery is at top of listing in Library)

Title=Addon Scenery                            Listed as "Addon Scenery" in the Scenery Library

Local=Addon Scenery

Layer=115                                               115th entry in the Scenery Library

Active=TRUE                                           Is active in the program (Must have been checked in Library)

Required=FALSE                                    Not required in the program

 

I'm afraid that if I delete this entry in the .cfg it may cause other problems - what say you?

No I wouldn't delete Area.115 in the scenery.cfg file either.  It's better to make changes by using the FSX Scenery Library. Since Area.115 is  Addon Scenery (in mine as well) and you are getting an error message about the path for that same Area, I suggest you try using the FSX Scenery Library.  It has an edit function.  Use it on the Addon Scenery entry to see if it is pointing to the correct folder.  You said your FSX is on drive G:, so see if it shows G: ... FSX/Addon Scenery when you use that edit function.

I am convinced the path is wrong for my addon scenery and I will work on that with the scenery library edit.  Could you please send me your path that shows up in your scenery library.  Thanks.

 

Gary :mellow:

Ray Smith's AFCAD work is fantastic. I have sent him an email thanking him and also asking for some help. He was extremely helpful (with the problem I caused) and I ONLY use his AFCAD add-ons. Thanks Ray!!!

Hi, Gary,

 

My FSX is installed in c:/Flight Simulation Program/Flight Simulator X.  So when I open Scenery Library, highlight Addon Scenery, and click on Edit Area, I see Addon Scenery and a whole bunch of other entries that are at the top level within FS X.  When I click the up arrow in the explorer-type window I go up to Flight Simulation Programs; another click up to C:.

I googled this issue and found that A LOT of people have experienced this issue!  So, I restored my computer back to when I thought I had not had this problem and everything is working o.k.

 

I will make a backup of things so I don't have to go through this again.  I'm one who likes to understand "why" something is caused so I can fix.  My guess is that when I started adding on airports I must have somehow mucked it up.

 

F.Y.I.:  I've been flight simming since the very early days of the hobby (Flight Assignment A.T.P. Air Transport Pilot - depending on your age you may never have heard of it) which preceded the MS products.  I have all of the extensive manuals and disks, both 3.5 AND 5"!  I worked my way through other flight sim products and the MSFS up to FSX's predecessor when "life go really busy" and I got away from it from 2008 until a few months ago when I finally installed FSX.  A really big improvement but I found myself having to "relearn" things.  It was good to see that MS has added some things we asked for way back, better clouds, AI traffic, etc.  The community @ AVSIM and other sites, even some new ones, have always been a big help to our hobby and, like you, there has been times long ago where I was helping someone else.

 

Anyway, many thanks for all of your help (and patience with this).

Hi, Gary,

 

Glad you resolved the problem.  I also like to figure out why something isn't working properly.  But sometimes the simplest solution, like a system restore or reinstallation, is the best solution.

 

I started with a DOS program called Jetfighter, that centered on a carrier.  It was so basic that I could land upside down on the carrier as long as I had the tailhook down, with no crash detected.  Then I went on to FS98, FS2002, 2004 and now FSX.  Mostly been flying heavy jets.

 

Mike

I just finished downloading and installing all the Ray Smith FSX AFCAD/Scenery - easy to install, easy on the VAS, and nice to look at. Excellent work Ray Smith!

I also use Rays AFCADS.

 

Thanks Ray!

I've said it here before, I'd rather have a Ray Smith AFCAD than a badly done 3rd party scenery.

 

BTW, in response to way further up about FTX Australia. That's the only region of theirs that does not have default AFCADs. You can add outside AFCADs to their airports. The only ones that already have AFCADs are their own specially created sceneries.

 

Lee

The best way to search his AFCAD files is to use the ICAO code for the airport with his name.
