Jacopo G. Mura Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Good morning guys, I recently download few Orbx products (Base, vectors and EuropeLC and SODE) which are installed and verified correctly, but when I run the verification process for SODE I receive the following message: Registration error - XML entries- exe.xml: SUCCESS dll.xml: SUCCESSL - SimObject Path Entries- fsx.cfg (Main): CFG file not found! fsx.cfg (Common): CFG file not found! I think the issue is the file name the application is lookig for: I'm using FS:Steam Edition on a Win10 pc and the fsx.cfg is called fsx-se.cfg, located in [...]AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE Does anyone know how to get this match ? I'm not sure if I will rename that file everithing will work fine... Thanks a lot, Jacopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacopo G. Mura Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 UPDATE: I found this topic I had FSX installed before and I modify the register key from 1 to 0, with the other instructions: unfortunately nothing has canged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hello, if the modifications are made correctly, then FSX Steam Edition will use FSX folders instead of FSX-SE folders and its configuration files will bear the name fsx and not fsx-se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not possible, just surprised as I've never heard of that before despite having made 100's of forum posts and replies about the FSX:SE. I'm guessing that might be a region or country related thing. If that's indeed your FSX:SE config path, it doesn't make sense the verification would successfully find DLL.XML and EXE.XML, as they're typically located in the same ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ folder that the FSX.CFG file is located in?

Nick Cooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello, welcome to the forums. When Dovetail released FSX Steam Edition, they made provision for the user who wanted to use FSX Steam Edition on a PC that already had FSX installed on it. The reason that they did is that as FSX Steam Edition is just FSX with a few modifications, it would use the same configuration folders and files. The solution was to make the installer recognise that FSX was already present and install FSX Steam Edition in "compatibility mode". This involved nothing more complex than using FSX-SE folders instead of FSX folders, to avoid overwriting existing configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now the question is: how this error can affect the Orbx's sceneries ? Becasue in my opinion the application looks worikng properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hello, there will be no effect, except that probably SODE will not work, so you will miss jetways and windsocks but only if you have addon airports that use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacopo G. Mura Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Allright, I have Base+Vectro+Europe installed, no airport at the moment... so I will leave it as it is Thank you for your support ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
