I would like to record my thanks for all thework Mutley put into this.
He has done a very good job and I am very grateful.
Thank you,
Tregarth
If anyone is wondering the outcome of Tregarth's problem we found his scenery.cfg file had probably been corrupted by a previous installation and the path to his addon scenery folder was missing from area 115.This is in the scenery file located C:ProgramDataMicrosoftFSXScenery.cfg
Before
[Area.115]
Title=Addon Scenery
Layer=115
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
After
[Area.115]
Title=Addon Scenery
Local=Addon Scenery
Layer=115
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
The job's a good 'un and Tregarth has no more error messages
Cheers

I have just signed on to Photobucket. The mesage I have seen is shown here
I hope it works, I am grateful for your help, will you be at the Flight 1 open day on 18/7?
Thank you,

Hi There,I am a little bit confused, are we talking about the scenery.cfg file here?
If so, yes you are right, the file itself is date stamped but the contents are not.
Does the error message refer more specifically to a scenery area? if not, it may be because the area number is higher then 1000 and it cannot display it.
If it is a recent problem and was caused by bad programming when scenery installed and updated the file the I would guess the area number would be high which is why I suggested to work from the highest number down.
As you have so many entries I would suggest you copy and paste the contents into Excel spreadsheet or a freeware equivalent and sort the entries by folder and see if anything looks dodgy?
Cheers

Tregarth.
You really need to look at your scenery.cfg file in Notepad, it looks as though the file is pointing the sim to a non-existent folder. You would really need to start at the highest number scenery level and check back trough the entries that all the locations exist. When you find the culprit you can delete the entry. (Make back up first )
As for posting sceenshots, you need to host the shot on a remote server such as Photobucket and link to them using the tag.
Cheers
Dear Mutley,
I appreciate both your reply and the it's promptness.
Is there a short cut? I have scenery files which start at 001 and go up to 1107, after which they are named. I had expected to see some files modified in June 2010 and start looking at those. But they are all modified on 31/10/09. :gtfl:
Help.

Thank you very much for a really useful tutorial. I have posted a reference to it on the FS DreamTeam website to help others who have struggled like me.
Before I found this site I was going nowhere fast and have finished up with a message "Scenery.cfg file error. Remote scenery directory() in scenery not found. Click OK to continue." This appears whilst FSX is loading. Having clicked OK FSX runs perfectly but the message is becoming annoying.
Can someone please kindly tell me how the !"
FSX - Fatal Error
in General
Posted
Stupidly, I have been trying to improve one of my aeroplanes by copying a gauge from one plane to another.
When I tried to start FSX I was told a Fatal Error had occured.
When I looked at the Problem Details I saw
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: fsx.exe
Application Version: 10.0.61637.0
Application Timestamp: 46fadb14
Fault Module Name: visualfx.dll
Fault Module Version: 10.0.61637.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 46fadb59
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 00014857
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057
Additional information about the problem:
LCID: 2057
I went back to the relevant Panel.CFG file and deleted the lines I had added but the damage was done.
I am thinking about putting the DVD's in the PC and using the "Repair" function. Has anyone tried this and what is repaired?
Does it re-set FSX to factory conditions i.e. remove all my add on scenery, aircraft and network settings or just concentrate on the core programme?
Alternatively, can anyone suggest an different solution?
Thank you,
Tregarth
