Database build fails to recognize add-on airports

I have several add-on airports installed in the standard AddOn_Scenery folder of FSX and I indicated in the FSX database builder where my FSX is located as well as the roaming scenery.cfg of my user profile. It goes about building the FSX database but none of my add-on airports appear in the map anymore.

Are they just in Addon Scenery, or are they in Addon Scenery\Scenery?

They are in the proper subdirectories (scenery & textures) under AddOn_Scenery. I noticed that if I configure it for the Scenery.cfg found in my App_Data/Roaming the problem appears but if I select the sCenery.cfg found in ProgramData then it correctly finds all my sceneries.

Ah. Wrong scenery.cfg error. Glad you have it sorted.

I also was having this problem. None of the Orbx New Zealand unlisted strips were appearing on PlanG. I was pointing to the FSX/scenery.cfg.
Pointing to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg works perfectly.
Thanks so much for this thread. Solved a big puzzle that's for sure.
