resolved failed to deinstall OrbX SW properly

[aero-3fsx]

As per JV suggestion I put in a new high capacity SSD for P3D

It appears I didn't deinstall something of OrbX properly as my fresh install of P3D v3 has a corrupt scenery.cfg file

There were messages about OrbX scenery not being available when I first started P3D after first new install

I have already installed P3D for the second time on this new drive but cannot start P3D

Its activated but now gives an error message that P3D cannot run without a valid scenery.cfg file - please uninstall & reinstall

This I have done but I still have the problem

Anyone have any suggestions?

I have also tried every repair option in the apps install of windows 10 but to no avail

Hello,

The scenery.cfg file is created when the simulator is installed.

I would expect it to be found in C:\Programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

or similar (I don't have P3D myself).

 

The messages about OrbX scenery not being available that you mention would have been the result of you

still having your original scenery.cfg file after you had re-installed P3D without the FTX software in it.

 

The new message makes no sense unless you have since deleted the scenery.cfg file.

I do have a copy of a default P3D scenery.cfg file which you can put into

C:\Programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 if there isn't one there already.

 

scenery.cfg

Just realised every entry in the scenery.cfg file is related to OrbX

I had deleted it during the deinstall on the small SSD

Will try the sample file Nick included in his message

--------------------

Success, it works now so on with OrbX software install

Thanks very much Nick, I wish you a good day
