Ok,
In the past few weeks I've added a lot of new scenery to the Scenery Library, to include all of the Lago Geo Series titles, Glacier Bay and others. Last night I went in to add a few others and I do this with the FSNav Data Base Configurator so that I don't have to load FS9 make the additions and corrections and then close FS9 and then go back in again to use it. I can make thos e additions from outside the sim and load just once. Well more than halfway through the compiling process, it locked up, so I closed it out and just went in to fly. All seemed well. Now tonight when loading FS9 I got an error message that one of the scenery files couldn't be located and it was one I had added a long time ago.
I go into the Scenery Library and everything I had loaded back at least two weeks was gone including a very complex set of Glacier Bay scenery files needed for a hop list I'm in the middle of over at the WSP Server. What happened????
The only other thing I did prior to loading up tonight was to run the "Airport Chart" database build because I hadn't updated that in quite some time. As far as I know, all that does is search for loaded airports so that they are available via the chart in the sim.
I have no idea why addon info going back two weeks would have been wiped clean like that. . .what a friggin' pain in the butt to reload all of that in the proper sequence (since I dumped all of the docs after it was loaded and running correctly). Geeze, just when you think you have a grasp on the inner workings it jumps up and shows you who's really in charge.
