Folder and location questions.
« on: September 28, 2007, 03:23:56 PM »
This pertains to Windows Vista home Premium.

I have a folder in the FSX directory called "Addon Scenery Addon Scenery Addon Scenery" and within that I have a Scenery folder and there I have a file called "fsglcx_us.bgl"..  I assume that is the landclass file. My question is, is FSX seeing this with the weird top folder name?

Also, what is the default directory(s) for the Mesh auto installation?
Does it all go into one folder or are those the folders that are named 101, 102, 103, 203.. etc.?

The reason I ask is because I deleted my FSX.cfg file to test something (after backing up of course) and didnt' know if the Mesh was being seen after the cfg file was recreated. Is there a way to tell? No offense but I'm assuming it wasn't because my airports were no longer on plateaus. So, if I have to delete the cfg file, how do I re-point back to the FSG Mesh?


Thanks

Hi Garrett,

The FSX landclass should go into [FSX]\Addon scenery\scenery, so it appears you have some extra folders in there.  The installer should have already entered the proper path automatically if the proper registry entries were present.  I would delete the extra "addon scenery" and it's scenery subfolder, then reinstall the landclass, accepting the default path shown in the Choose Install Location dialog.

The FSG Terrain mesh files go into the various numbered subfolders under the main scenery folder.

Changes to the FSX.cfg file shouldn't affect the Scenery Library.  Changes to the scenery.cfg would do that.

Hope this helps

Thanks Justin. There are only 2 folders , its just that the one is named "Addon Scenery Addon Scenery Addon Scenery" (that is one folder). I will just rename it to Addon Scenery... I dont' know why it did that.

I'm good now, I appreciate the direction
