I'm at my wits end with this issue. I'm hoping someone who is more familiar with the background workings of scenery within FSX can shed some light on this headache causing issue.

 

I installed and uninstalled various sceneries one day trying out new products. It eventually led me to a "invalid Remote scenery path in area.241" error upon FSX startup. Where the head scratching begins for me is when I look at my scenery.cfg's I have nothing  near 241 areas, my last entry in the .cfg is area 124, and would never have pushed any higher then 130-140 at any given time.

 

The main issue and I have no idea if this is related to the above is that I no longer see small towns, or large cities. I have roads, rail, water and buildings associated with default FSX, UTX, FTX Regions, and FTX Global but the ground textures and autogen for cities are non existant. Areas appear either as forest, desert, or farmland depending on what would be specific to the area.   NYC is a forest in my FSX.....

 

Did something core to FSX get removed during a scenery uninstall? Would area 241 be specific to this? Is this a layering issue? Is it possible to fix this?

 

I'm open to any and all suggestions, anything that will prevent me from spending weeks getting FSX reinstalled with my 1000s of addons would be appreciated. 

Are you looking in the right Scenery.cfg file? Mine, with Win7, is at:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX And if you have a lot of scenery installed, then the entry count will be greater than #124.

No I was not, I was in App data.  I found the correct cfg in the folder you specified. Highest it goes is 260 now. And that specific 248 error I was able to eliminate due to looking at the correct .cfg now. Unfortunately It does not solve the main problem of the missing cities in the FSX world.

 

Thanks though

I think its been long enough....so I'm doing it lol

 

BUMP!
