    There's nothing special to do to uninstall. If the file is working it's working. Just stop using the editor. I would say that without using SCE you will not be able to safely use this 6 scenery file technique. The errors detected by the editor will still be present and you will have no way to fix them. Ideally you should just have one scenery file with groups and switch things on or off as required. If you really require multiple files then you will have to tolerate fixing the file at times and without...

    Hi Wills! Sorry for not replying yesterday - I was at a wedding. So looking at your scenery.cfg, there's two issues here: 1. The first Area in the file has the identification number 000 this is not allowed - the minimum number is 001. 2. That same Area has the layer number 0 - this is also not allowed and the minimum is 1. Now my code is telling you the wrong thing for this - saying its a duplicate area - rather than what it really which is simply illegal and looking at it I don't handle negative...

    Hi Joe, I'm not sure how you're getting that. When did you download the snapshot? Could you grab another copy if it wasn't on Saturday. You really shouldn't get rid of the first two characters - they are the markers that the file is in UTF-16. Did you load up the file before changing the mode to P3Dv4 mode? If so just reload the file and it should work. I guess I should just guess the file-encoding to prevent this kind of problem and I'm taking a look at that to see if there's a sensible way of doing...

    Hi Howard, Glad you manaaged to get SCE working well in the end. Once I've confirmed we've got a working version, I'll release a new version of SCE (likely to be 1.1.8), you'll need to download this version and then it will work with P3Dv4. You should just replace your old SCE - it'll still work for FSX-SE just as well. Now, if you want to use the editor for P3D etc, you simply go into the Preferences and click the read registry button for the appropriate simulator, click the right mode radio button,...

There's a slight possible snag - Java seems to be very keen to switch the byte-ending to big-endian whereas the sample scenery.cfg file I've been given is little-endian.

    OK so let's deal with "title is non-unique" You have multiple areas with the same name. You should just add a suffix to these areas saying "Mesh" or "Main" - or ignore the error if you'd prefer. Now, "path does not exist". Say you have your flightsimulator directory set as "X:\SomeDirectory" - (Please don't set your flight simulator directory to this) and you have an area with directory set "AreaDirectory". Then, SCE will simply check if "X:\SomeDirectory\AreaDirectory" exists. If it doesn't then...

  • Andrew R. Thornton Andrew R. Thornton posted a comment on ticket #13

    Ah... I understand what you were asking. The editor is complaining that it cannot find the directories relating to those scenery areas. This may mean 1 of 2 things: 1) You have the flight simulator directory incorrectly set. Or 2) These directories don't exist and those areas have been removed from your filesystem - in which case the scenery areas should be removed from your scenery.cfg file. If you're sure those scenery areas are on your filesystem and you have the right directory for flight simulator...
