Recently converted to FSX STEAM.  My old VIENNA scenery from Fly Tampa is only compatible with FSX and will not install into STEAM.

 Has any member found a decent Vienna scenery that can be used in Steam?

 

thank you

The scenery should still work, what specifically is not working?

I use FSX-SE and Fly Tampa Vienna is working fine.   Have you installed it in the correct place ? 
I also remember having to remove a few LOWW bgl files from the Addon Scenery/Scenery folder as these were causing a conflict.   All I did was change their file extension from .bgl to .old so that I could easily revert back if necessary.

When you install sceneries, for almost all of them (for all the installations I had in my personal experience), there should be two options: Automatic, thus that it tries to find a directory for you and if it doesn't it will create it automatically, or costum, where you can tell the scenery like "You have to go to that folder", and a bar will show where it will be installed if you continue (e.g. Microsoft/FSX), but it shouldn't belong there, so you can change it to steam/steamapps/FSX, and it should install there, most sceneries/aircraft has a readme where it says in what folder you should install it, for example the addon scenery, so install it there (if the readme tells you to do so, I use addon scenery as a personal preference in case a scenerie won't work so I can delete it without going through all the folders). Maybe this helps?
