bhorv67 12 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 At the end of the installation there is a screen with 2 choices to set the scenery to more or less 3d buildings. I've chosen the option with more 3d buildings, but when I press 'Accept' I get an message ' Fatal Error - Density hasn't been changed, please try again'. I tried selecting the lower 3d buildings option, and that works ok. I can't switch to the higher option. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhorv67 12 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Something strange happening with my scenery library - I'm not able to make any changes. If I move or delete anything, press ok, then check the library again, the changes aren't being made. It's like something is manipulating the library, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 12, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted October 12, 2018 Are you sure you got the Administrative rights to edit this file in that location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin A. Muegge 57 Posted October 12, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi, you are using this installer....? AS_USCITIESX-NEW-ORLEANS_FSX-FSXSTEAM-P3D.zip => AS_USCITIESX-NEW-ORLEANS_FSX-FSXSTEAM-P3D_V102.exe(file date : 4th dec. 2017) After installation, try to use the file manually? Aerosoft\USCitiesX-NewOrleans\NewOrleans.exe At the same path, you have a "config.ini" with this data? [density] highdensity =true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft\USCitiesX-NewOrleans\NewOrleans.exe At the same path, you have a "config.ini" with this data? [density] highdensity =true Yes using that installer - just bought this area within the last few weeks. After I initially installed it, it didn't seem to be changing that region in the sim - still looked like the default scenery. I did indeed use Admin rights to run the installer. After the install is complete, the selector dialog appears, so I'm assuming that's also applying the admin rights, but just to be sure, I quit out of the selector and launched it again using admin rights - getting the same error. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm now having very strange issues with my scenery library. I'm not able to add or move anything. It appears that I am making the changes, but when I check the library after it closes, the changes aren't there. Also the scenery.cfg file modified date isn't changing either, so something odd is going on. So to try to fix this, I copied my current scenery.cfg to a safe place out of P3d as a backup. I ran the 'Delete Generated FIles' fix in P3d to start fresh. I now have a new scenery.cfg. When I first launched P3d, all the xml scenery was put back (FSDT/FB airports). I haven't added back any Orbx yet either. I ran the New Orleans installer with admin rights. Still getting the same error. but now when I click on the scenery library in P3d - I'm getting a new error about the New Orleans scenery - 'SCENERY.CFG file error. Failed to add library item [Area.164]. An entry already exists with the path "Ecosystem\aerosoft\USCitiesX-NewOrleans". I can only click OK here. After I do, the scenery library comes up, and I do see the entry for New Orleans, but when I click OK to close, I get another error - 'Warning: There were 1 errors detected while loading the SCENERY.CFG file. These areas were not added to the Scenery Library list. Are you sure you would like to continue saving these changes to the SCENERY.CFG file?'. I click Yes here and get another error - 'Prepar3d has detected non-sequential layer ordering within the Scenery Library list. Would you like P3d tp attempt to repair?' - I click Yes, the library closes and the sim reloads. Each time I click on the library now, I'm getting these errors. Realize, my sim up until I installed New Orleans had no apparent issues and was pretty much solid. I'm not saying this scenery is causing the issue, maybe it made some other problem come to the surface that I've had all along. I'm just pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I also tried repairing the P3d base files by installing the client, content and scenery installers again. Doesn't help. I'm at the point where I just want to completely uninstall P3d and all the addons and start from the beginning. Unless someone can help figure out what's going on, I'm seeing at least 2 days of getting this setup again. Appreciate any help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorv67 12 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Wanted to follow up on this topic - I did check the config.ini in the New Orleans directory, and indeed highdensity=true by default. Maybe the error I mentioned appears because the value is already true. I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of P3d which seemed to resolve my scenery.cfg issues. so far so good. Appreciate the help.
