W7 FSX Bug
-
Sunday, June 07, 2009 4:45 PMThere appears to be a bug with adding scenery to the FSX Scenery Library when running under Windows7 RC 64. The normal procedure of using the ADD button and then navigating to the desired scenery location results in a "Scenery Not Found" message.
I have found a workaround but ideally the bug should be fixed.

Monday, June 08, 2009 7:20 AM OK, heres the workaround.
Instead of clicking on the scenery folder and clicking add ,
now you need to click on the scenery folder, click add,
then right click anywhere in the white area of the folder .
The fix is now circulating several major flightsim forums.

Hi Rod

If you have a workaround for the problem please post a detailed description of the problem and the fix you found.
This could help other FSX users here who may have the same issues.
Thanks,
Thank You for testing Windows 7

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 9:20 PMThanks, you saved me.
A little clarification:
In settings choose Scenery Library, click Add Area, then locate your folder and select it.
The full path will show as: Directory (left of the OK button).
Click OK, in Vista this returned, in Windows 7 it clears the Directory window and shows the Scenery and/or Texture folder names.
Now right click somewhere in that large white area below the folder names and the area is added. Only the right click is new, but vital.
How in the world did you work this out, Rod?
Happy flying and support BlueSkyScenery, Jim -

This worked for me on FSX in Win 7 64:
Add Area
Locate your folder and select it
Right click the folder name and copy it when it appears Next to OK button.
Click OK. The folder name goes blanck and you see the scenery and texture folder.
Click on the scenery folder.
Paste the folder name back in the field where you copied it.
You may add a scenery name in the bottom fiels.
Click OK
The new scenery appear in the scenery list.
The new sceney works with the right textures.
Hope this can be of any help.

That's certainly news to me. I've been using the same procedure for nearly two years on my two Win7 x64 systems... ;)

OK, heres the workaround.
This workaround is no longer valid. FSX now gives me a fatal error when choosing the Addon Scenery folder. Please help!
