I have fsx steam installed on m drive working perfect

Decided to reinstall fsx box on D drive but after installation no airports show in select airport. Its empty. I tried repairing but no luck. Any ideas????

I haven't experienced it myself but I found a thread at steam regarding SE-version which apparently have the same problem.

So even if you have the boxed version, you could try some of the advices mentioned.

Thanks but none of those advice works and my scenery library is also blank. Strange thing,in my fsx folder, scenery the list is showing but not in fsx when I start it.

Figured out the airport issue but now my Aircraft not showing on preview screen when setting up flight and my scnenery setting keep going back to zero for everything. The terrain and water options and the autogen density. I cant get them to save and stay on what I selected.

Do you have all the boxes checked like "Show all variations", Mfgrs, etc?

Try running FSX.Exe as administrator. I've seen it where it can't make changes to its own file because the scenery.cfg was changed.

 

FSX needs to regenerate after installing for the first time or adding a scenery. If it's not run in admin mode and you have one of the newer windows OS than it won't have access to its sin program files unless it's run as admin.

Is this the aircraft problem you are having? http://www.avsim.com/topic/471169-problem-in-fsx-that-i-cant-describe/

 

The issue in that case seems to have been that "DX10 preview" was active.

 

So make sure DX10 preview is de-activated. Then close FSX, delete fsx.cfg and then start FSX again to see if that helps.

I tried posting a pic but no luck. My screen has land and clouds in background without aircraft and my terrain and water settings are all to the left. Whenever I change them they go back to the left after I hit ok.

I have done some more research and found these two threads. It seems that the problems is relate to the Autogen folder.
