October 24, 200619 yr Would someone who has added scenery via their FSX scenery library check their scenery.cfg file to see if it was updated?Whenever I add new scenery within FSX via the scenery library my scenery.cfg file is not updated to reflect the changes although the new stuff works within FSX. Conversely, if I edit the scenery.cfg file manually like I did in FS9 the new stuff doesn't show in the scenery library. Since FSX isn't using the scenery.cfg to store new additions just where is the information kept? I did a search of my drives and their are no other scenery.cfg files on my computer.Unlike others here who have a scenery.cfg located in their applications data/microsoft/fsx folder I only have one scenery.cfg in the FSX root directory and if this file is renamed or removed FSX will not run which proves it is being checked at startup.

October 24, 200619 yr Commercial Member Hi there,I guess the confusion stems from the fact that FSX utilizes both C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftFSX and C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftFSX. The active scenery.cfg is in C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftFSX and the cfg file in the FSX root directory is indeed inactive.Cheers, Holger

Sheesh! you'd think they would have placed it with the FSX.cfg file!

October 24, 200619 yr Author According to posts on some other forums - that was the plan - to follow the MS standard of customization in the user profile.However it would have created tremendous difficulties for automated installers for scenery.Acording to this post - the scenery developers agrued that they needed ONE place for new scenery information to be entered on the computer.Personally I would have preferred it the other way around - but I can see their point,and I'd expect relatively few people use different scenery configurations as I do for testing.
