    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Missing add-on airports with update 3

I had a few freeware add on airports in my community folder prior to update 3. I moved them out of the community folder for the update and just put them back, but they don't show up. Anyone else missing airports (or other scenery)? I'm wondering if is just me or if the update broke something.

I had thought that my installation was already updated a yesterday. I tried to start FS2020 this morning though and it would just hang during start up.

I deleted my add-on plane from my community folder and then FS2020 started installing something on next start up????? I did buy the Seoul Korea Scenery from the MS store a couple days ago, so I don't know if that is what is installing or if it is the update.
 
I think I may have solved it.

I tried a number of things including removing the community folder, re-starting the sim, exiting and restoring the community folder to no avail.

I began poking around other MSFS folders and came across one called 'SceneryIndexes.' I noticed many files with very recent timestamps and other with older timestamps. Searching through some of the dat files I found references to the two airports, even though they weren't installed anymore. On a whim I moved this folder out to the Desktop and started MSFS, hoping it would re-initialize these scenery indexes. Boot was slower than normal (which is pretty slow...) but that did the trick. After I reinstalled the add-on airports they re-appeared. Hopefully I didn't do any lasting damage :untroubled:

Hi,

Do you mind telling where you found the scenery indexes? In a location similar to FSX/P3D?

EDIT: found it. The location is similar! :)

Thanks!
