Scenery cfg Missing

[astroavion 2]

I delete my scenery.cfg file and it tells me it's now missing and to re-install FSX. Steam edition. I cannot count the number of problems I have had with flight sims over the last 20 years. WOAI installer is the devil. The scenery.cfg file is a nightmare. I have spent way more time trying to fix this thing than I ever have flying it. I dont know if its a computer problem, a program problem or a user problem due to my ignorance in computer programming. I am very near giving up the hobby forever and taking up basket weaving or some equally boring thing. Ive tried P3D (daylight sky/white clouds at night, major problems with addons as LM likes to change everything every year), XP11 (no seasons, parked aircraft floating above the ground, no PMDG).  So Im left with this ancient FSX 32-bit piece of no-working junk. Oh well, maybe in another 20 years, someone will have this thing figured out once and for all, however I'll be in a retirement home by then.

End rant.

Something is seriously wrong as the scenery cfg is rebuilt at startup with the default.

I had to do a full Windows 10 re-install and then re-install FSX. Seems to be working now. Thanks, Jim.
