Thanks, Bill I discovered I have a "old scenery.cfg" in addition to the scenery.cfg. The old has UT entries. The current scenery.cfg has those and UTX entries (I just purchased UTX), so I am hopeful there is no conflict. I suppose it is always a good idea to uninstall since things could really get mixed up placing new things in with old.

Thanks! I have areas beyond 117 up to 138. Cities - Edwards AFB is 120 in my scenery.cfg followed by titles with FS Global Ultimate and one that I just installed UTX. This is probably a question for the program providers, but do add-ons generally coexist peacefully or is it necessary to remove one before installing another? As I recall, the FS Global Ultimate of a few years back included South America (.cfg does show a CSA central and south America entry). My UTX purchase was North America only. Ideally, the UTX would only replace the NA portion of the FS Global install... Thanks, Charlie. My add-on scenery folder is empty so I'm clean on that one.

I have been out of the FSX cockpit for a couple of years and have forgotten what add-ons I had...old age is creeping up on me! Is there an add-on that will detect and indicate what FSX add-ons are present? AFAIK, FSX doesn't have a "mods" page like many video games where you can see what mods you have and select/deselect them. I think the only way that I can see what add-ons I have is to go through the FSX folders looking for specific add-on folders, but since I've forgotten what I have, I'd have trouble telling one thing from another. My particular concern is with scenery add-ons. Would they all be in the FSX scenery folder? What would a vanilla FSX scenery folder contain?

Flying FSX, I often run into sudden changes in the visibility, not due to clouds but to a haze covering everything. Since I am using realtime weather information (FSrealWXlite), I assume this happens because a weather update contains a nearby METAR with low visibility. As suddenly as it appears it can disappear leaving unlimited visibility. Can anyone confirm this? I've searched for a way to make the change gradual (more realistic) but haven't found a handle for that. In addition, the haze appears to be of uniform density; there is no light haze or heavy haze, it can't accommodate variation in visibility, so there must be a threshold below which it kicks in.
