October 14, 20178 yr Figured out what my issue was as well. I reviewed all my scenery entries with Lorby's tool and was able to find that I had two entries of the same scenery located in 2 different locations. When I deleted one of the repeating entries it ran normally and was able to finish installing!

As I said before, the sim adjusts to many user (and 3rd party installer) created inconsistencies in scenery.cfg/add-ons.cfg, but the VOXATC Indexer may not. Your post just emphasizes this.
October 15, 20178 yr Author I can confirm, that having dual scenery entries, one by addon xml and one on the scenery.cfg, stalls the indexer :) Will email Tegwyn with the specific circumstances of this issue. Meanwhile, anyone suffering a similar problem can fairly easily rectify it themselves... Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
October 16, 20178 yr I decided to take the plunge (at least put my toe in) after reading all of your excellent posts on this topic. I installed P3d 4.1 using the client method, and so far working fine with no problems. (other than the usual ones already discussed in this forum).
October 16, 20178 yr Hello ! I forgot to delete the entry in the scenery library. But the entry deleted, and NY X installed with addon menu, no more issue with the indexer. i9 14900KF 64 Gb DDR5 @ 6 Ghz CAS 32 Asus Apex Z790 W11 64 bits pro sur Kingston FURY Renegade 2 To, MSFS 2024 sur 2 ème Kingston FURY Renegade 2 To, RTX 5090 Alim Asus Thor 1600 W Gold Ecran Samsung G9 57 pouces 8K WC AIO ARTIC liquid freezer II 420 Boitier Gigabyte 3d mars https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEFAk464aSg22aGFZ2LxeFg/videos

All's well that ends well as they say. It seems everyone in this thread resolved their Indexer issue. I did want to add something about paths. ORBX sceneries tend to have relative paths. Admittedly, except for apps from Simple Simon Software*, any app that parses scenery.cfg should be capable of reading both absolute and relative paths. But the problem with relative paths arises if either the registry entry for the sim is missing or the sim is not installed in the default location. Not the problem here with Indexer, but it does happen. * Note to mods... Not a real company (I hope)

Your post just emphasizes this. I had this issue and it was due to scenery cfg file which at the end had inconsistencies in the [Area.xxx] and the Layer=xxx. I noticed the numbers didn't match. So however I didn't have permissions to edit the scenery config so had to add permissions as admin and then re-edit the config via Lorby-SI and then ran VOXATC indexer again and it worked (also run makerunways tool in P3D, this helps also).
December 23, 20178 yr In my experience as a VOXATC user, probably 90% of VOXATC errors (and maybe more) are related to malformed airports and other scenery conflicts. Unfortunately, often the common solution to this problem is to edit the airport with ADE.
February 11, 20188 yr I too am having problems with VoxATC hanging at weather/themes. My problem might be with DD NY Airports version 2. It is installed automatically in the add-on folder. However, the add-on.xml file in the airports directory is completely blank. Would someone tell me what should be in this file? Tom
February 11, 20188 yr OK Problem solved. The installer for NY airports puts an entry in the documents\add-on folder but doesn't actually install the scenery there. It is installed in the Lockheed Martin/add on scenery folder. I simply deleted the bogus entry in the documents\add-on folder and all is well. Tom Tom
February 11, 20188 yr Good detective work. When the Indexer fails like this it's almost always due to inconsistencies in scenery.cfg and or add-on.cfg.
May 22, 20188 yr I had the same problem hang! Using Lorby's tool I foud several duplicate entries. Once deleted the indexer ran fine. Thanks for your tips - they worked.
