Stan V Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have all FTX Regions installed (except Australia) and recently added FTX Global to the mix. A few days later I noticed that several scenery folder entries have gone missing from my scenery.cfg file. The folders themselves with their scenery files intact are still in my fsx addon scenery folder but all the scenery.cfg entries for them have disappeared. As far as I can tell, the missing entries are specifically ones that I added above my scenery.cfg insertion point to help me make sure I put any files I wanted to override Orbx's region files above any Orbx entries. These included all my RTMM folders and libraries. I gave them distinctive names when I created them such as FTX-RTMM COMMUNITY SCENERY_ (region name), and they were all grouped together in the scenery.cfg file above my designated library insertion point. I'm sure I can re-add the missing entries without too much bother but first, I want to understand what happened and why so it doesn't happen again.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Stan, not my field of expertise, but for what I know, you named the folders FTX-RTMM I know the FTX installer looks for all entries starting with FTX , probably there where things went pearshaped, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan V Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks, Wolter - just one followup question. If instead, I named each of the currently missing entries as ORBX_COMMUNITY_SCENERY_(region name), is that sufficient to avoid running afoul of installer coding in the future?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Stan, I would name it something like a_ORBX_FTX_COMMUNITY_SCENERY_(region name)advantage also will be that the scenery list seems to look at the first letter so it then will place it above the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan V Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Will do - thanks again. Stan V FS Global Order: FSS0223991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Our automated scenery library apps look for items beginning with "FTX" and "ORBX" so avoid calling any scenery library entries those prefixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
