Hi All

I have just spent many a long hour completely rebuilding my Scenery.cfg file from
Layer=39 all the way up to Layer=690.

I have deleted a whole mass of unwanted sceneries and whats left is now in

...and following on with areas

South America
UK


One small question:

Scenery.cfg files are found in Flightsim root folder (d:\fs2004) and include the following files:

Scenery.cfg
NewScenery.cfg
OldScenery.cfg

also in "C:\Users\*******\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9"

Scenery.cfg

Does anybody know if there is anywhere else I need to look to delete old files before I put in my
nice new streamlined "Scenery.cfg"

As far as I know the only ones you need to worry about are in the FS9 root folder. The newscenery contains changes that you have made that have not been loaded up, when you load FS9 next then that gets looked for and loaded if found. The oldscenery is then replaced by the current scenery and the current scenery is replaced by the newscenery. The newscenery will then get deleted.

If you want to be ultra cautious then just back all those 3 files up. I would presume that the newscenery contains your clean up.

I took the plunge last night after backing up everything. I only had to make amendments to 3 entries. those pesky underscores get me every time.

Now going through all the Air files to remove AI aircraft from appearing in user aircraft.
You don't half amass a load of crap over the years. Some of the stuff on my system I don't even remember installing, and sceneries that I remember installing and never got around to activating. Hopefully my little spring clean will improve loading times a little.

Cheers
