Thanks Reader, and others for your patient help. Unfortunately I am going to reinstall to fix the problem.

I located the scenery AREA101 and AREA107 and deleted them using Wordpad but I guess I should have used Notepad.? As 'AREA' is now shown in FSX settings, Scenery Library, I am not sure if I have achieved anything other than stopping the messages, that I have a problem in Scenery Areas 101 and 107. I understood that if I deleted these files FSX will rebuild them? Should I not see them listed back in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg. It appears I have lost more knowledge of FSX than I thought I had. LOL.

Thanks. Yes. "321 failed to validate and will be reacquired", but problem remains.

I fired up FSX after some years of inactivity and loss of previous sim knowledge. It appears I have caused problems with trying to add scenery and can't solve it. Get "SCENERY.CFG file error. Invalid Remote scenery Area 101" and "SCENERY.CFG file error. Invalid path in SCENERY AREA 107' Both files appear in C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/FSX. I also note that in there is a file 'OldScenery' as well as 'Scenery', both with same time/date. The files differ. I hope I have given enough information that someone will be able to assist me. I

Have I lost these important filesI . It looks like I have made a hash of installing FSX and an attempt to install addon scenery. I am getting two scenery.cfg file errors. "SCENERY.CFG File error. Invalid Remote scenery path in scenery Area 101" and the same for Area 107 I click to continue. I can't see these areas listed. I search C:/Games/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/FSX. If I am not beyond help can someone point me in the direction please. I have been away from simming for some years, which is probably obvious.

Thanks for your help.

I have a boxed FSX (Gold Edition). Can I install this without having to install Steam or this a requirement now. Appreciate some advice.
