The only installed scenery it is showing (in green) are all my FSDT and Flightbeam airports that were installed using the "new" system. Nothing found in scenery.cfg is showing - either default airports or add-ons. It is almost as if it is ignoring scenery.cfg completely. Jim Barrett Hi Jim, your scenery.cfg is no longer in Unicode encoding as it should be. Something changed that. This is a rather dangerous situation, because another tool that expects Unicode and writing to the file could destroy it. Open the scenery.cfg with Notepad++ and change the Encoding back to "UCS-2 Little Endian" as per spec - like all the other .cfg files of P3D V4 are. This will be fun in the next few months, when all kinds of "old" tools write to these files while ignoring the encoding. Best regards LORBY-SI

Best regards That was the first thing I checked, and it already was set to UCF2-LE. I had re-encoded it that way after I installed all my FlyTampa updates a couple of days ago, as their installers all write to scenery.cfg I rebooted the computer, and after doing so, your organizer worked as advertised. I'm not sure what this may indicate. I had opened and closed P3D several times (without a reboot) prior to installing and running your program for the first time. That may have have had something to do with it. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.

June 14, 20178 yr I have been using the program without any problems but as of today I keep getting a unhandled exception error when I try to add a scenery. I have version 0.95 installed. Would appreciate some help in resolving the error. Michael A. Jones

Hello Michael, just tried it on my side, adding scenery as a new package and adding to an existing package both worked normally. What exactly does that exception say, and when is it thrown? I only need the stack trace at the beginning of the error text (the first 10 lines maybe). If you want, send me a message here in the forum or with the "Contact us" form on the Lorby website, so we can exchange mail addresses - then you could send me a screenshot and maybe a backup of your config files.

June 14, 20178 yr Author Commercial Member Hi Michael, you have somehow acquired a scenery element that has no title, and I think that it is in your scenery.cfg, not in the XMLs (those a covered for empty title strings). I have just uploaded version 0.96 to the Lorby website, that should take care of it. If you run into other issues, please let me know, this seems a bit unusual to me. Please check your scenery.cfg if it is still formatted correctly. Best regards LORBY-SI

June 19, 20178 yr Hi Oliver: Just one question. I'm using your v0.99 now and the question is that one could change the install directory of your application, not to a P3Dv4 related folder, but to a generic addon folder, for instance, in the event the P3Dv4 has not been installed yet?. I just want the app to be used with my existing P3Dv3.4 setup.

I just reused my P3D V4 installer template, so all Lorby Addons would be in the same place. Usually you can even move the .exe anywhere you like and it should work. Best regards LORBY-SI
