• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I'm just solving exact same problem as I found here http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-16027.html

I have scenery.cfg here
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikací\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg
but is has date from 08-22-2007 so it is pretty old file. Where FSX stores the data that are saved in library?
Is it not possible to add items to it from command line?

I have some new sceneries in Library but they are not listed in scenery.cfg. That's pretty confusing. I would like to know how to activate or deactivate the item in library from command line (cmd).
 
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.CFG

That's the file you want. Not sure where it resolves to in XP, but in Windows Vista or 7, it'll typically go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.CFG.

The path to Vista or 7 is very different. But I know where the file is in XP. It is in same directory as fsx.cfg - and the fsx.cfg has been changed after every change so this is correct location. But to me it is strange that they don't save the actual sceneries there. They save only the defaults.
 
correct path to scenery.cfg in Windows XP

I was in incorrect path because I thought that it is

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikací\Microsoft\FSX

but it is

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\

How insidious!
