paulb Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Apologies for a stupid question. But I am confused. In FSX my scenery areas go from 001 to 261 in my scenery.cfg. In Central I tried to give my FTX scenery priority. In my scenery.cfg, all of my FTX sceneries have the highest numbers (libraries is 261) with default FSX scenery having the lowest numbers. Having researched other posts, some people seem to have the opposite order. Is mine OK? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that suggest a reverse order to my scenery.cfg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Doug, I have worked it out now thanks. The scenery library in FSX is in complete reverse order to the Area numbers in the Scenery.cfg file. So, we are both right!

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Oh, I understand what you mean now....yes, the scenery.cfg when open in notepad reads from the bottom to top of what is shown in the scenery library. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 That's because the lower numbers are loaded first, the higher numbers last, by design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once one realises then it becomes blindingly obvious Stewart! My problem was recovering from a mega FSX crash, so I was totally focused on cfg and windows files!

Stewart Hobson Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 There are many hidden secrets like this in FSX, waiting to be discovered by accident or on purpose. Another involves the LOD radius set in FSX, but you probably already know that one. The bigger your LOD, the more VAS it uses up, so set it to some moderate value instead of cranking it up to some insane level, such as 7.5 or higher. Even P3D is subject to this, I believe.

Hi Stewart, Well I was with FS from about 1986. Then, five years ago (for personal reasons) I left FSX. I came back at the start of this year with enthusiasm! I can't believe how much I forgot over those 5 years! Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
