Hi still same problem

[Bigggan]

Years after i put the FS9 in the closet i tried installing it again after a uninstal years ago but now the first thing that comes up is there is something wrong with SCENERY.cfg But i fixed it with installing the old folders that was missing.
How can i make a clean install of it? I want to remove absoulutly everything not a tiny scratch left for my FS9 to remember or complain about? SInce i still have the:

Error
Your computer has run out of available memory. Flight Simulator will now exit. You may not have enough free space on your hard drive. Run Disk Cleanup to free up space, and then try running Flight Simulator again.

Its not my PC i have lots of ram and it ran fine for a year after the first install on this PC. It just suddently appeared randomly.



OK it seems i was able to fix this, idk what i did but now my scenery is messed up also this error comes from 001-030

Scenery.CFG file error. Invalid remote scenery path in scenery Area.001. Click to continue.

Wait when i look in the scenery.cfg file should some of the "LOCAL=" be empty? or should they all point to a path? since some of them doesent show the path. Can you provide me with your scenery.cfg file`?

Hello bigggan,

You say You are trying to re install fs9 ( msfs2004 ) - are You using the original 4 disk set ??

the only way that I know how to do a clean install is A. Go to Your windows control panal - Add remove programs - and see if there is anything listed for fs9 - If there is - un install it !

B. Go to c:\program files\microsoft games\fs9 - Delete it !

C. Use the origional disks for a clean install

If You are trying to do an install using old files and old installations - just copying files from one harddrive to another does not install them. When You do a proper install - using the disks - the files are installed in such a manner that they know how to acess the computers resources - Graphics and sound ect.

If You do not have a set of disks - I just checked ebay - and You can pick a set up for probably less than $10.00

If You are trying to just cobble something togather - Both You and the program will end up unstable !!

Please feel free to ask any questions - as We know where You are at - because We been there !!

Good Luck in Your New Career !

Yeah im using the 4 cd set, but i think i got it to work after "loosing memory" bug with using XP compitabilety,

But now my Scenery.cfg file is messed up and scenery is messed up like everything blue and no grass and stuff.

Hey Bigggan,

Have a couple more things to try - Does this problem exist in any other game on this computer - ruling out a hardware failure ??

In the game Go to Your settings - In each button Press the load defaults button - end the game and - restart .

Or Go to the fs9 folder in Microsoft Games - and look for a folder called scenery." Anything " else but "cfg " - If You find one You will have to rename Your current scenery.cfg file to - like - scenery.cfg.bak - or something - and name your other file scenery.cfg - make sure you restart Your game after any change !

That should keep You busey for awhile

Find and locate your "fs9.cfg". Make a backup of it by renaming it. Something like "FS9.BK.cfg". Then start FS9, and redo your settings. This will build a new "fs9.cfg". Shut it down, and restart it.

Do this, and let us know what happens. Could be an issue with a corrupted fs9.cfg entry.

I can add just one more thing, I have found in the past, that any addons IE: aircraft or scenery, when and if a complete removal is needed, these extra files will not be deleted, you need to go back into your Microsoft fs9 folder and manually delete them, or delete the whole folder...... Always remember, do a reboot before commencing a fresh install.

I guess i was unlucky and deleted the scenery.cfg thinking that it rebuilds it, just find it weird that my fs still remembers what i instaled years ago when ive deleted everything that had something to do with fs9 like all folders and registry keys and everything. No i dont have any old scenery.cfg in there, just the one that i created, but that one is also messed up, i tried that one also.

No no other problems, i can run BF3 with nearly everything on ultra and havent had any problems with hardware in a year since i changed the CPU.

[johnman]

Hey Bigggan,

Try this - Just copy and paste this into a note pad file - and name it "scenery.cfg"- be sure to backup Your origional !!

Also - IF (??) this works - open the two files side by side and compare them to check the difference !

[johnman]

Also Bigggan,

There is a copy of scenery.cfg @ - c:\Docs and settings\username\applicationdata\microsoft\fs9

I don't know if this would do You any good - but You could try it - if the other one doesn't work

The file I sent You previously - is an origional fs9 - clean install ! save it in a safe place !!

Be sure to back up anything before You change it !!

Are We having fun yet ??

So, the problem has gone, right? Or, do you still experience this issue? I would really need your answer.
