In the avsim library there is a scenery for Newquay airport (EGHQ). It is a P3Dv4 scenery, but I wanted to try it out in P3Dv5.4. It did work in P3Dv5.4 but I didn't like it that much, so I uninstalled it. The scenery had SODE files for runway lights and some other things. Now after I uninstalled the scenery I went to the default Newquay airport and there are red X's where the custom SODE things was. Since I deleted the scenery why is there SODE red X's at the default scenery? How do I get rid of them?

 

Edit: The scenery filename is Newquay_Airport__EGHQ.zip

Did you delete the SODE files too?

SODE files are stored in:-

C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml\
 

Find the ones relating to Newquay and delete (or rename) them.

Yes, I deleted the SODE files.

If the red X signs remain then you missed some. Search for anything with EGHQ in the title.

I just checked for leftover SODE files and didn't find any. The scenery was installed with an exe file so maybe there was a file installed somewhere that I don't know about.

Edit: to uninstall the scenery I used IObit uninstaller which usually gets everything including registry files.

Look for a EGHQ folder in the SODE folder. Never heard of that uninstaller.

Sort the xml folder in descending date order. Most recent will be at the top.

I was curious enough to download and install. There's a folder in the SIMOBJECTS folde named SWSCENERY_EGHQX.

That contains multiple SODE folders each containing those objects.

Thank you Ray. I found the SODE file. It was named SODE_EGHQ. When I was looking for the SODE xml file I was looking for files starting with EGHQ or Newquay not SODE. That is why I didn't see the file the first time I was looking for leftover files.

Edit: i have been using IObit for a long time now. IMO It is really good

I deleted that folder already when I first uninstalled the scenery.

So is the problem solved? With no SODE objects you shouldn’t be seeing any Red Xs.

Yes, the problem is solved. it was a SODE xml file that wasn't deleted. The xml file was named SODE_EGHQ. When I was looking for SODE xml files associated with the scenery I was looking for files starting with EGHQ or Newquay not SODE. That is why I didn't see the file the first time I was looking for leftover files.

IObit is described as a Chinese software development company founded in 2004, specializing in creating utilities for optimizing, cleaning, speeding up, and protecting the Windows operating system. Founded in 2004, Hong Kong. IObit Uninstaller

Spoiler

It is strange that the company is presented as Chinese, yet the official website is Russian. I suspect that Russians may be masking their development under a Chinese brand.

@Jla6yx, i wouldn’t touch something like that with a bargepole. The author of the Newquay scenery provided an uninstaller in the parent folder.

Registry is rarely touched for P3D scenery.

Understood but it’s a decent free offering. Did it not appeal?
