EDIT: d/l latest addon manager, still did not write the entries to my scenery.cfg. Incredible how bad you all can screw up someone's install.
First, calm down.
And before saying something like that, I suggest it's always best to get your facts straight, since from what you wrote, it's obvious your problem it's JUST that you don't understand how the new scenery installation system works, but you have been very quick to blame our installer, which is working perfectly fine and, by trying to "fix" your scenery.cfg, that didn't required ANY fix to begin with, you are probably causing even more problems, reinforcing your mistaken assumption "it was our installer".
The "new" scenery installation system, which is not really new, since it has been introduced with P3D3, and finalized in P3D 3.3,
does't require the scenery.cfg anymore!!Add-on products now have their own private configuration file, located under Documents\Prepar3d Add-ons, each one with its own sub-folder, each one containing its own
add-on.xml file, which specify with Scenery, Textures, Effects, Sounds, DLL modules, EXE Modules, the add will require, WITHOUT having to use the now obsolete scenery.cfg method.
The
HUGE advantage of this system, is that we DO NOT touch ANY of the core configuration files of the simulator, which used to create so much problems in the past, usually because of conflicts or hand-editing. The DLL/EXE.XML files are not touched, the scenery.cfg is not touched, the Prepar3d.cfg file is not touched, and so on.
NOTHING in the sim is touched, except the C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Add-ons.cfg file, which is not even touched by our installer, but we ask to Prepar3D.exe itself to modify it for us so, it's impossible to have an installer "screwing up" your sim configuration files.
And the other
HUGE advantage of this system is that *because* we haven't touched any of the default configuration files of the sim, you can UNINSTALL and entirely wipe-out the whole simulator, but you won't have to reinstall the add-ons. Only those using this system, of course.
If you need to reinstall the sim, as long as you keep intact the small folders in your Documents folder containing the add-on.xml, and you don't remove the actual files of the products (now located, by default, under C:\Program Files\Addon Manager, the newly installed sim
will ask you if you want to reactivate those products, so if you reply YES, the sim ITSELF will make the necessary adjustments to its own Add-ons.cfg file, and you'll be back with all your previous add-ons, 10 seconds after a total simular reinstall.
Now, compare this to the old way of having to uninstall all your addons first, uninstall the sim, reinstall the sim, reinstall all your addons.
Without even mentioning the other auxiliary advantages, like the fact you only had to install our products ONCE, and they appeared in all the sim, compared to the old way of installing each one for each installed sim, and the the big saving of hard drive space.
