I can relate to that. Last Fall, I was pulling down the ladder door in the closet to get into the attic. I was trying to gently push my wife's clothes aside when all of a sudden the 8 ft clothes rack and shelf came crashing down to the floor. The holes in the wall was as big as my fist. I couldn't even lift the shelf it was so heavy. It took 2 hours to slowly remove her clothes and put them on the floor in the back bedroom which pretty much filled the room. It took me 3 weeks in patching the holes, painting, and put in a whole new closet system. I made sure all the wall connections were screwed into wall studs. This inspired her to go through her clothes and we made several trips to Goodwill. BTW, I never tried BEV so I don't know. I been using GE Pro with UT USA have been very pleased with it.

Yes Bob, I went to the Mach1 site, http://www.mach1designgroup.webs.com/, and it links back to AVSIM PIT2008.zip -Rich

Yes, I also like the Mach1 sceneries including the KPIT scenery. They worked well for me even on an antique system I still got FS9 loaded on. -Rich

Ok, I have the missing file back.I went ahead and uninstalled the FS9.1 update. I tried to reinstall the update and got a "Update Error 25"It showed "Processing: Scenery/Generic/Scenery/bridges.bgl". This seemed to be a corrupt executable file. Downloaded a new FS9upd.exe. This one installed fine and I got the bridges.bgl and the bridges01.bgl files.On my first few checks in FS9, I do not see where any of the UT/USA file has been affected. I only had to checkagain the "Remove FS2004 Bridge Objects" in the UT/USA setup Utility. This gave me the bridges.XXX file whichI copied to QLRP4UT/Scenery and renamed it back to bridges.bglTime will tell.Rich

helloI have FS9.1, Win XP SP3 and recently installed GE PRO, UT/USA, EZ-Bridges and started manual installation of QLRP4UT. At one point the instructions tell me to copy bridges.XXX from "FS9/Scenery/Generic/Scenery" to "FS9/Addon Scenery/QLRP4UT/Scenery"and rename it to bridges.bgl.The file bridges.XXX is missing. I did a search on partition F, is where I have FS9.1 - nothing.The FS9/Scenery/Generic/Scenery has only 3 files in it: Generic.bgl, Landmark.bgl, and scenery_fs_aso.bgl. I have been seeing the generic bridges all along and see them misplaced when I installed UT/USA. They do disappear when I disable bridges in UT.From the FS9.1 update readme, I am guessing this missing file may come from the FS9.1 update. Is this correct? I did see in some of the posts in this forum that uninstalling and installing the FS9.1 update may mess up the UT files.Any help in finding/getting this file?　Thanks,Rich

Thanks, I found it and replaced the bad one and FS9 works. I also find itin the File Listings list. I don't know how I missed that.Thanks again.Rich

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!!!Since I alreadly disabled the Addon Scenery and deleted it out of the Scenery.cfg, it was time to look at the Default.I disabled each of the Default Scenery Area a few at a time. When I disabled Scenery/EURW (Western Europe), FS9would start and run. Moved files in EURW/Scenery to a temp dir and moved back a few at a time.I found the file AP951170.bgl was the one causing the constant "Building Database for New Scenery" and then FS9 disappears".I cannot find any reference this file or to the EURW directory on the FS9 File Listings or on the FS9 CD.Is this not part of the Default Scenery? Where can I get a replacement?Thanks to all who responded in an effort to help me find the problem!!!!Rich

Yes, I have administrator rights. It's the only login setup on this system. I did create a new account and login withadministrators rights and tried FS9 - same thing.I did have the Addon Scenery set to FALSE, so I deleted the Area - no change.I did a clean boot on the system to have minimum processes running. I shutdown firewall and ativirus programs also. I ran Process Monitor and started FS9. A quick look at the log shows it reading the scenery files and it creates somefiles. Then at one point, it starts to close files. The RESULTS coluum all show SUCCESS. I don't know. I'm not veryfamiliar with reading this.Rich

I copied the default FS9 scenery.cfg - no change. I noticed during the "Building Database For New Scenery" it goes up toabout 35% and then everything disappears.

Thanks for the tip, Joe. My OS is WindowsXP Professional SP3I thought about the "cache scenery on exit". If I remember, it was not checked. I don't know what to look at without runningFS9. I did noticed a reference to "clean_on_exit" in the scenery.cfg. Could this be it??[General]Title=FS9 World SceneryDescription=FS9 Scenery DataClean_on_Exit=FALSE

Thanks for the reply. I moved the FS9 folder to a Temp directory. I started FS9 - first got the "Incompatable Aircraft or Software, File: FSSSound.dll" which I expected. I said "yes" to add it. It then went thru the "Building Database for New Scenery" and it disappears. Restarted FS9 - same thing. Started the whole process again and said "No" to the FSSSound.dll -same thing. I noticed the FS9 folder was recreated which cointained Facilities folder, SceneryCache folder, blank fs9.cfg, navlog0 file.

I have FS9.1. I have been adding scenery manually several years now. I would install the scenery,run FS9 and add the reference to the Scenery Library, then restart FS9. I think since the update,starting FS9 would pop up the "Building Database for New Scenery" window, then FS9 would disappear. I would restart and it would run fine. This would happen only when I made changes. Never did figure this one out.This time I installed a small scenery package about 18K to take a look at. Addon Scenery/'airport name'/scenery.Now, the screen showing "Building Database for New Scenery" and FS9 disappears everytime I start it. I can't get pass this point.I have read through several posts here and have done the following:Verified the directory path is correct. Made copies of config files.Thru FS9 configurator, changed ACTIVE=TRUE to FALSE - (no change)Removed actual scenery directory - (no change)Removed the reference to this scenery in the scenery.cfg - (no change)Tried using the oldscenery.cfg changed to scenery.cfg - (no change)Tried using a scenery.cfg backed up a year ago - (no change)Deleted scenery.dat files - (no change)Used FSTscenery and created a new scenery.cfg - (no change)Even tried a backed up FS9.cfg - (no change)　Does anybody has any ideas as to what else to look at before I decide to delete all of FS9 and start over??Thanks for any help.Rich
