I have just installed a new hard drive and have been installing all the airports to FSX Gold. Added all the airports that I had with old hard drive. Now Plan-G, v3.1.3 will not read the 3rd party scenery. It is starting in administrator mode. All this scenery loaded before but will not load now. I have gone through the scenery one at a time to try to find out if any of the scenery is stopping Plan-G from reading the rest with out any luck. Can you suggest any advice to get this to work?

Could you attach the log file, and I'll take a look. It's in My Documents\Plan-G Files\Plan-G_Log.txt

Also, please switch to the 3.1.4 beta from the top of this forum, otherwise you'll have problems with maps not showing.

I have been using Open Cycle Map for my maps, but I will install 3.1.4 as suggested. Attached log file.

It will read the Addon Scenery\scenery folder but does not read any of the other folders in the addon scenery folder. Do I need to add each of these folders in the additional scenery locations?

Sounds like you need to set the location for the scenery.cfg in Settings: C:\Program Data\Microsoft\FSX See also manual page 33.

Problem solved. I was setting the scenery.cfg file to the Microsoft Flight Simulator x main folder instead of the program data folder. Thank you very much for the help. :)
