• 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.

Hi,
I used for the first time this tool and got a seldom message:
Warn: J:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\scenery\scenery\ cannot be found
I watched my FSXScenery.cfg and there was no such Area! Those words doesn't exist.
And such a path doesn't exist in my system.
What is the reason of this message?
 
Well are what Scenery.cfg file are you looking at. You need to be sure you are looking at the active one.
 
Thank you Jon for the quick answer!
I installed SAS and there was the request for the FSX Scenery cfg. I found this cfg in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.cfg".
Then I went to this place and investigated this Scenery.cfg (dated 25.10.2015 16:11). Where could I find a second -active- one?
 
Well that seems to be the active one. Another way to the path is \Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\SCENERY.CFG Can you attach that one to a post so I can check it please? Also can you confirm which version of SAS you are using?
 
Hi Jon,
I can't find an other scenery.cfg but an old one from 2007. The path (All Users) you mentioned doesn't exist in my system. I attached the active one which I had to change to a txt file. CFG is not allowed.

The Versions (from Help):

Application 01.03.5121.14257
Engine 04.60.5100.24691

Area 182 is the one that SAS is reporting. It does not look like a valid path to me

[Area.182]
Title=Addon Scenery
Local=J:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\scenery
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Layer=160
 
You are sure? The warning is mentioning double "scenery" (...\Addon Scenery\scenery\scenery\)
Sorry I misunderstand your post. I will try to disable this Area. Thank you
 
I am sure because SAS is reporting the actual scenery folder and the way FSX works is to take the folder as specified in the config file and add \scenery onto it. SAS mimics that and it seems that you do not have a folder called J:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\scenery\scenery (or do you?)
 
OK then you have an invalid area in your scenery.cfg file. That is not something SAS is designed to fix. It is just reporting it
