Daniel Hill 810430 Posted February 2, 2007 at 12:28 PM Posted February 2, 2007 at 12:28 PM After nearly three months of FS9 non-use, I find that if I try to load any situation in the NYC area or move my plane to the NYC area FS9 quits to the desktop during scenery loading with no error message. Loading other situations in other geographical areas causes no such error. The error occurs during the "terrain-loading" portion of the scenery load. I have tried loading "default" situations with "default" aircraft and then "moving" to the NYC area, but the result is the same. I have checked the scenery.cfg file and the entries are in numeric order and all seem to be correctly listed (area # = level #, etc.). Can anyone suggest a quick-fix that might work before I resort to a full uninstallation/reinstallation of FS9 and all my add-ons? I thought, perhaps, there might be a quick way to recopy the terrain files from the installation disks to the proper directories. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Jean Morissette 857169 Posted February 2, 2007 at 10:02 PM Posted February 2, 2007 at 10:02 PM Hi Daniel. Try to DELete all the **SCENERY.dat** files, in the principal DIRectory off all your add-ons, that are located near the spot where you [quit-to-desktop]. It cured problems similar to that, for me, a few times. . . Blue skies. I'm not driving too fast..!? I'm flying too low! SEE the DVDs "What the BLEEP?! down the rabbit hole!"

Jim Karn 850752 Posted February 2, 2007 at 11:49 PM Posted February 2, 2007 at 11:49 PM Have you tried deactivating any of your addons? It's most likely a conflict of some kind between the addon stuff and the default. Go into the scenery library and deactivate one at a time and see what happens. It's tedious, but may save you a complete reinstall. Regards, Jim Karn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hill 810430 Posted February 5, 2007 at 12:54 PM Author Posted February 5, 2007 at 12:54 PM Have you tried deactivating any of your addons? Another good suggestion. Unfortunately, disabling ALL of my add-on sceneries did not do the trick. So, I uninstalled all FlightSim software -- every last bit of it -- and started with a clean reinstall of FS9. That did the trick (as it should). Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution. It is appreciated. Blue skies!
