I recently did a fresh install of fs, and did the complete install. Now when i load the program, I get the following error "scenery.cfg file error! Local scenery directory (scenedb\westhem\alaskae\scenery) in scenery Area.008 not found" Im forced to click yes, and then the same error appears except for a different area, I end up having to click yes about 30 times just for FS to load. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I have tried reinstalling twice, with no solution. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

What has happened is when you uninstalled FS iit did not remove the FS folder and one of the files in this folder is the scenery cfg file. All you need to do is to delete any file named Scenery.cfg and restart FS it will then build a new scenery cfg file. Mind you if you have any addon scenery you will have to add it back as FS will not put it there.

Odig. Which install option are you using? FS2002 will run without a CD in the drive unless you used the Minimal option. In this case it reads the scenery from the CD. I forget which one.

If you get no error messages during the install I don't think there's anything wrong with your disks. Extracting all those files during the install can take a while & it might seem there's nothing happening. Give it time to complete the install & don't exit setup until the "successful" message appears.

It's possible. If you do a Typical or Full install all scenery will be copied from the CD to your HD. Then when you first run FS2002 the compressed CAB files are extracted. If any of these are corrupt or the CD is damaged this might explain your problem.

Check all your disks carefully for dirty marks, scratches or damage. If you spot anything it should be possible to clean them if you do it carefully. Use the same method as for a music CD.

The problem could also be with your CD ROM drive or virtual memory. If this happens on another PC I wouldn't think that this is the case.
