Thanks PDrill for the Mapbox info, it was very helpful  :)

Not sure. Plan-G did seem to find the Nuuk scenery - also Steam DLC. But this is Aerosoft content, so KCGX may be an ORBX proprietary issue.

10:54:31.4 Scanning folder C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\DLC\379541\FSDG\FSDG-Greenland Nuuk\scenery
10:54:31.4 AFX_BGGH.bgl Apts: 1 Vors: 1 Ndbs: 0 wpts: 0 Approaches: 0 Bdys: 0
10:54:31.4 AFX_BGH1.bgl Apts: 1 Vors: 1 Ndbs: 0 wpts: 0 Approaches: 0 Bdys: 0

I get a few 'Failed (wrong format)' entries in the log, but the only KCGX entry is where I have it scanning the folder for the scenery files. I've tried both
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\DLC\379548\KCGX
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\DLC\379548\KCGX\scenery

neither one produces anything. The only KCGX log entry is
20:45:43.8 Scanning folder C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\DLC\379548\KCGX\scenery
20:45:43.8 Scanning Scenery.cfg (C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Scenery.cfg)

As you can see, it didn't find the airport bgl in the scan, but no errors otherwise.

I'm starting to think it has more to do with Steam DLC than anything else. I ran another program recently that compiled FSX scenery for its own use, and got an error message that Meigs and Nuuk scenery were 'not available.' These are the only two sceneries I have that are DLC from steam.

I'll take a look at the log file . . . where ??? :-[

Yup, one of the first things I did, as I couldn't find the scenery folder where it normally would be, non-DLC. Just did another search to confirm - all KCGX files reside in C:\Steam\steamapps\common\ . . .\DLC\379548\KCGX\scenery. This is the folder where I have Plan-G pointed to. Yet ADE says none of those KCGX files are airports  ???

No worries, mutley, and thanks for the suggestions :) I've tried to open all those files in ADE and get

---------------------------
Loading File
---------------------------
This file does not contain an airport.  ADE  will not load it.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

odd . . .

That is indeed the path if it were not DLC. It seems DLC from Steam dumps the scenery into another folder all together. And, on top of that, I cannot find an actual airport bgl file located in the folder that contains all the other KCGX bgl files. Could someone post the airport bgl filename for the KCGX scenery so I can see if I have it?

Thanks :) - and I'll keep poking around Steam to see if I can figure it out on this end

Something odd indeed:

[Area.165]
Title=Orbx Meigs Field
Active=TRUE
Layer=165
Required=FALSE
Local=KCGX

I change it to Local=DLC\379548\KCGX\, thinking the cfg was looking for it right after the FSX folder, like the other entries in the cfg I found, but nothing changed on the database rebuild. A search for the actual KCGX airport bgl file turns up nothing. I wonder if Steam encodes that differently somehow.

So long as you rebuild the database in Plan-G after installing the scenery, it should show up fine.

Then I must not be adding the scenery into Plan-G correctly. The DLC Meigs scenery is located in C:\Steam\steamapps\common\ . . .\DLC\379548\KCGX\scenery. There are several .bgl files in that folder, yet none of them are actually airport files according to ADE when I try and open them in that program. There is an .xml file as well, but ADE doesn't like it either. The scenery shows in FSX-SE, is present on the internal world map, and can be found via the GPS; so the actual airport file has to exist somewhere, me thinks  :-\

Is there an issue with adding DLC steam scenery to Plan-G? I have added several regular fsx sceneries to the additional scenery locations list and had no problems. Yet when doing so for the DLC steam version of Meigs Field, it will not show on the map.

PS. My apologies to mgculver for hijacking his thread.

HA! I just found the "Donate" button - you are SO getting a donation. I've messed around trying to find a good FS flight planner for years. The old version of Plan-G was great. This new version is great-est!

So . . . THANKS, Tim!  :)
