Whenever I start FS9 I get an error message that says that the Scenery cfg for Area 038 is missing. Where is Area 038 and Where if possible I can get a replacement Scenery cfg for the aforementioned Area?

It is even more secret than Area 051.  If we told you where to find it,....we'd have to kill you.   Wink

Seriously, it will be on one of your original install disks. Look here to figure that out:

This error occurs if you delete or move a scenery area folder without first deleting its entry from the FS2004 Scenery Library.

Unless you edited the scenery.cfg file, Area 38 is the default Addon Scenery folder. While this is a default scenery area folder, it is originally empty and is not needed. You may either:

-Restore it from the recycle bin, or make a new one.  In your FS2004 main folder create a new folder named Addon Scenery. In the new folder create a sub-folder named Scenery........or

-If you have no use for the Addon Scenery folder (you install addon scenery in other folders) you can delete its entry from the Scenery Library.

I think it's more likely you deleted the Addon Scenery\scenery sub-folder. This is a very common mistake when people first start installing scenery. Look in the FS9 Addon Scenery folder for a sub-folder named Scenery (or scenery). If it's missing it's easy enough to replace. Create a New Folder & rename it Scenery.

What I did was go into the main Add On Scenery folder in FS9 and create a scenery folder inside it and copy a dsd folder at random into it. That seemed to fix it.

Excellent. Smiley

PS. Not sure what a dsd folder is but you shouldn't need it. The original default Addon Scenery\scenery folder is empty.
