Every time I launch P3D2.2 it builds scenery indexes. In FSX this does only happen when installing new scenery. Is it not the same in P3D ? Does P3D build scenery index at every launch for you too ? Is this normal in P3D ?

Yes, just started doing this yesterday after I started P3D with a clean cfg file. It has continued this behaviour after multiple P3D launches as well as a pc restart. Curious!

Same thing here.

When you look into the scenery.cfg, there are not any content of installed addons.

maybe thats the reason

Don't worry about this and it's pretty fast so it won't bother you. Take it as it is.

Same here too

Ditto here also.

Thank-You, Spirit. Good advice. :Peace:

When you look into the Scenery.cfg file that is used by P3D you will find the necessary entries there. Hint... it's not the file sitting in the main P3D folder.

@Chainsawz:
Thanks, I finally found the "real" scenery.cfg.  Its lokaed in %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

What you are seeing is a self check, looking for new scenery and changes, I get the same but its more of a 1 second flash.

 

With out this check how would the sim know if you made any changes to the scenery or not so it is a needed feature even if the wording it displays does not reflect what it is doing.

I have the same problem as well, after I attempted to install a scenery meant for FSX but faked the FSX install path for P3D. Obviously the installer has assumed FSX all along, and the install/uninstall operations are not in sync with scenery.cfg, which fortunately is not that hard to edit manually.

I get this as well...with every load up....

Same here.....its annoying

 

Anything yet? my scenery.cfg looks intact, I was also getting some scenery Area erros however those where fixed by manually adding an empty "Scenery" and "Texture" folder in Addon scenery's
