I had not noticed that I had two scenery.cfg files.

I copied the KCGX entry from c:\programdata\microsoft\fsx\scenery.cfg to c:\users\bigdog\appdata\roaming\microsoft\fsx\scenery.cfg (which did not have it).

[Area.121]
Title=Orbx Meigs Field
Local=KCGX
Layer=121
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE

Since this entry seemed to be pointing to a non-existant directory KCGX in the FSX "Base Path" and not the DLC subfolder where Steam puts files, I copied the KCGX folder from the DLC subfolder to the FSX "Base Path".

I rebuilt the PlanG database, and got a slightly different log file:
19:27:36.4 Building database for FSXFS9
19:27:36.4 FS directory is: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\
19:27:36.4 Registry cfg path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.cfg

19:27:36.9 Index: 120 Active: TRUE Title: Addon Scenery Path: Addon Scenery
19:27:36.9 Scanning folder 120: Addon Scenery

but still no airport.

I then changed the reference in the PlanG Build Database settings for scenery.cfg to point to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX instead of the c:\users\... and rebuilt, again a slightly different log file:
21:42:06.1 Building database for FSXFS9

21:42:06.1 Processing AdditionalSceneryLocations.txt

21:42:06.5 Index: 120 Active: TRUE Title: Addon Scenery Path: Addon Scenery
21:42:06.5 Scanning folder 120: Addon Scenery

but still no airport.  I think these things were tried by the original posters in 2016.

I've done a Database Build, specifying \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\DLC\379548\KCGX\scenery as the additional scenery location (where the ORBX .bgl files are).  This generated a 2000 line log file.

The only line that references KCGX is near the start of the log file, and is shown below:

KCGX does show up in FSXSE Settings...Scenery Library, and I haven't had any problem with it in FSXSE since installing it last March.

It is referenced in the scenery.cfg file.

I also tried PlanG (v 3.2.1.151)  Data...Build Navigation Database...Settings...Additional Scenery Locations, and entered the folder location of the Orbx_KCGX_*.bgl files.  However, after rebuilding the internal database, KCGX still does not appear in PlanG.  I believe this is the problem as was reported in the original posts of Feb 2016.

If anyone gets this to work, I'd appreciate a reply.

I can successfully use the Steam DLC KCGX, but it doesn't appear in PlanG.  There was a thread on this back on 12 Feb 2016, but it didn't seem to get resolved then.

Mr Arnot has since said:

QuoteThat issue dates from before the advent of Orbx Central (the current installer scheme). I've just installed KCGX using the current Orbx installers (default options), and built a Plan-G database afterwards. The airport shows up perfectly fine.

but I don't understand that.  I looked at Orbx Central, and it seemed to be for something other than Steam DLC.

Has anyone gotten the Steam KCGX to show up in PlanG?
