Folder missing when Add area is selected to add new Airports

Featured Replies

I ran into this strange issue, V5 was going well for many months with several long hauls etc. Very recently I noticed an issue when i tried to add a new airport scenery via scenery Libray. So when I choose " add area" and normally it shows P3DV5 directly and entire drives and folders to browse through , instead it shows a single "Desktop" folder. When I move curosr around it shows "availability status error". 

 

Steps I took after searching was > 

1. Backup scenery CFG and delete so as P3D could build a new one ( didnt fix issue)

2. Tried repair using installer ( didnt fix)

3. Reinstalled the entire P3DV5.3 ( didnt fix and it remains same after reinstall as well)

 

I havent seen similar issue with anyone after many seraching. I hope somone can help!

Do you happen by chance to have OneDrive installed on your PC where your sim is installed? This is usually related to a sync issue.

Hi 787flyer,

Is there a fix? Delete OneDrive or something like that. I have OneDrive a long time and never had this problem. Now it suddenly is a problem and like Sreehari I'm looking for a fix.

 

Thanks in advance.

Well as 787Flyer mentioned it was OneDrive. Removed it and problem gone.
