• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Batch files... and FS

Greetings All!

Let me start by saying that when it comes to programming I get lost somewhat easily... even with DOS. I searched, experimented, and failed quite a few times.

What I'm hoping is that someone can either point me in a direction or help me with creating a DOS batch file. What I'd like to happen is following Install Creator completing all of its operations by placing my scenery into FS9, it would locate and edit the Scenery.CFG to add the scenery without disrupting previously installed scenery. Also, I'd like another batch file to remove the appropriate entry regardless of any changes that have occurred in the Scenery.CFG file.

I've successfully made Install Creator locate a user's FS9 installation no matter where it's at... just haven't been able to automatically edit the Scenery.CFG file.

It's mostly due to the fact that I tire of constantly guiding my "less-experienced-than-should-be" FS wingmen to add the scenery to their libraries. I've been holding their hands for quite a few years now but they seem unable to commit to memory what I feel is a basic "FS add-on task"... And it would be great to complete 99% of the scenery install automatically for everyone else, too.

Anybody willing to aid this "coding-challenged" developer?
