misty's place does not appear on the map. I've rebuilt the DB, many times but no luck. It appears in Flight sim commander and also in FSX, I've been there to check.

Please advise

Check the path to your scenery.cfg - it may be using the wrong one.

Hi Tim

FS.cfg path : :\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Is that correct

 :o  :-\

'Some of the new MM scenery will have False ICAO codes (i.e. they do not exist in the real world), these are numbered sequentially as PF01, 02, 03 etc, PF sets the scenery file as being within the ORBx Pacific Fjords area, the number sequence is based solely on work progress, it does not have any geographical significance. Scenery not having an ICAO code will not show up in your GPS or flight planning software (in fact the scenery files with ICAO codes will only show in external applications if you re-run their respective database building sub programs) and you will have to find them by means of the maps and descriptions, but that's the fun of them! (note from Kim Gowney - Scenery Team ) '

Tim, could I point you to a thread on the RTMM forum, with regards to this.

Please advise. Is this the correct way or can Plan-G look through the 'addon scenery folder' and add the appropriate data?

No. It should be C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\Scenery.cfg

Many thanks. So you shouldn't have to add sub-folders within 'addon scenery' folder. Now I point to the correct cfg file?
