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.

You can use the freeware version of CCleaner. One of the features is a duplicate finder. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

No sorry perhaps I didn't explain it correctly. As an example, I create a model file, we'll call it car.mdl, I place this model in a library along with it's texture. A few years later I remove this model from my scenery library but the textures will remain. What I want is a programme that can scan .bgls and let you know which textures are no longer being used.

Why not reverse the process and let FSX look for textures that it needs to use?

Add the MissingTexture line to your fsx.cfg, move the textures from the scenery's "texture" folder somewhere else, start FSX and let it complain about which textures it can't find. Put 'em back into the texture folder one by one and at one point, you're gonna end up with just the textures you need.

I originally found this post trying to accomplish the same thing as the OP. However, it had an unexpected benefit. After adding the lines to fsx.cfg, I was doing a 360 in Slew around my new L65 scenery in FSX. A number of errors popped up around a particular heading. I had noted before this a disturbing stutter in frame rates around this same heading. Three of the errors were missing Scenery Objects and one was a missing texture. Nothing to do with my own scenery.
So using Slew, I flew the heading to see what might be causing it as it didn't seem to be anything with my own scenery. Eventually, it led me to L12, Redlands where I had installed a 3rd party freeware airport scenery. It also led me to KRIR, Flabob where I had installed another scenery from the same author (Not blaming him. Stuff happens. His work is excellent). By disabling the sceneries in Scenery Library, I was able to verify the source of the trouble. I'm not able to fix the missing scenery objects, at least not with the tools and skills I currently have, but I was able to make a dummy texture with the missing texture file name to eliminate the error. I made a clone of a texture with a similar name that the author made, and it happily finds that one and shuts up about it. It also cured the frame rate stutter I was having around that heading.
Thanks to Heretic for adding another tool to my scenery design bag.
