• 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.

FSX FSX Error

Hi Everyone,

My simulator suddenly started to give me this message:

"Flight simulator requites at least one each of the following to run: an airport, a VOR, an NDB, and a waypoint. There is currently no airports in the dataset. Flight simulator will now exit."

The only thing to do is to abort.
I have FSX on a differant computer, is there a file I could replace to fix the problem?

Any help appreciated
 
use event viewer
run, type eventvwr
it will tell what file caused the error if windows recorded it.
this may not work though

btw nice plane. what are of washington? got friend in seattle area
 
Evidently windows didn't record it this time. :(
I couldn't find any events that failed.

I'm from the north east side of the state (Spokane area). The plane is a 182 - picture taken at reds horse ranch in Oregon.
 
Almost sounds as if your scenery.cfg has gone AWOL and therefore you have no scenery. On Win7 that would be located in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX" so you might check to see if it's there and if so, drag it into an open Notepad window and see if there's actually anything in it. Do you still have a "Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery" folder full of roughly 15 Gb of files & folders, BTW? I've accidentally moved folders into other folders using the dumb-thumb method on more than one occasion, it's easy to do, is there a chance your Scenery folder got dumb-thumbed into another folder somehow?

Incidentally when I was a young kid back in the mid 70s my grandparents lived in Collville, WA. They owned theaters, two in Collville, one in Chewelah, and another in Metaline Falls. I spent most of my summer vacations there mowing and cleaning the theaters. They also owned a cabin on Waitts lake so I got pretty familiar with the Chewelah area. Nice area and some great memories.

The scenery.cfg file is still there with information in it...
The scenery folder has about 11.6 GB in it...
Going to try the repair option with the FSX disk see if that works.

Jim, good to hear from someone who knows the area! Doesn't usually happen when you ask for random help online!
 
Well, Got her working again after uninstalling and re-installing.
Now I have to re-install my SDK. :(

Thanks for your Help,
