Windows 10: 'Scenery' pop up

I randomly pressed a keyboard shortcut and now the display of my screen is strange. I tried to restart my PC but it boots up normally then a pop up with 'Scenery' comes on and the display changes again. I'm on windows 11.

Scenery error

Hi David,

What error dialogue comes up? It could be Scenery or Area missing/not found, or similar. Have you installed any add on scenery prior to this error? Or, maybe installed a payware/freeware scenery enhancement/modification?

Depending on the above, you would do well to uninstall any added scenery. Usually, the Base Scenery is not touched, so won't require deleting. You could do a preliminary check of your Scenery.cfg to ensure that each Area and Layer Number match. So go
here: Your Drive Letter:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg or go into your FSX Directory and find scenery.cfg (the same list exists in both).

Then slowly scroll down your list (by default, you should have 115 Areas) and as you go down the list, ensure that each Area has a matching Layer number. E.g. Area 004 should have Layer=4; Area 115 should have Layer=115, and so on).

If all the above checks okay, and you still have a Missing/Not Found type error, you could try re-building your Scenery Library, by launching FSX and then go into Settings. Click on Scenery Library and have a check down the list that there isn't anything
that should or shouldn't be there. Then click on Ok. This action should re-build the Library.

If you still have the error coming up and you know that everything is in sequence and any add-on scenery has been removed, then you may well have to do a Repair of FSX (i.e. shut down FSX, and insert Disk 1 into your drive. Then select the Repair option).
This will reinstall any missing files (including Scenery) back into your installation. However, you may lose any add ons, special mapping of controls/configuration files, etc. You will need to go through the whole process again to reinstate everything.

Hope you have success with this.

Selecting an addon scenery airport

Which Flight Sim software are you referring to? If you are using FSX, then the installed add on scenery needs to be at the top of your list in your Scenery Library for it to take priority over the default scenery. FSX will read from Priority 1 downwards
and of course, you will be able to tell the difference between the two when FSX is launched for that area.

Re: your second page of add on airports. Are you referring to the Add on folder in the FSX directory, that contains folders for Scenery and Texture? But then, this is just a list of loaded add ons and are not subject to any page limitations. But first
clarify which Flt. Sim you are using.
