Problem adding new scenery?

[edmoore235]

Well this is odd, I have been a FS9 user for years but when ever
I attempt to add new scenery to FSX - no joy! Do I need a tool
in order to add scenery? Thanks in advance.

It pretty much works the same. Have you by chance changed to a newer version of Windows?

No, just started with FSX this year! I am new to the Dark Side!
I do know how to add scenery but it is not working in FSX!
Have over ten years using FS9. Thanks for your idea but not
using a new Window, just new flight sim. Smile!

you might be bumping your head on the FSX addon scenery glitch. when you add the scenery in FSX you must left click in the box -anywhere in the blank space of the addon scenery box- until you see the scenery has 'loaded' then click apply

Right. That's why I was asking if Ed had updated Windows from XP. From one of our scenery manuals...

Scenery Activation for FSX/FSX-SE in WinXP and Vista
1. Click to the “Settings” link in the Start Page of the simulation.
2. Click on the “Scenery Library” button under “Scenery”.
3. Click on the “Add Area…” button. Use the Browser window which comes up to locate the “Addon Scenery\Scenery Name” folder.
4. Click on “OK” button.
5. Click on “OK” button at the bottom of “Settings-Scenery Library” page.
6. Restart the simulation to finish the Scenery Activation process.

Scenery Activation for FSX/FSX-SE in Windows 7 / 8 / 10
For users running Windows 7 / 8 / 10 follow this procedure to activate the scenery.
1. Click to the “Settings” link in the Start Page of the simulation.
2. Click on the “Scenery Library…” button under “Other settings”.
3. Click on the “Add Area…” button. Use the Browser window that comes up to locate and highlight the “Scenery Name” folder.
4. Click on “OK” button.
The add-on scenery Directory path that you have selected will not be added; instead the browser window will advance inside the directory.
To add the scenery LEFT click on any blank space inside the folder view, and the window should close.
You should now see the add-on scenery listed in the scenery library.
5. Click on “OK” button at the bottom of “Settings-Scenery Library” page.
6. Restart the simulation to finish the Scenery Activation process.

Exactly. This will work every time, steam edition included.
