[SOLVED] One Drive and addon scenery config file
« on: January 22, 2018, 12:52:28 am »
Hey, got a problem here and can't figure out how to fix it. I did a search for the SCENERY.CFG file error concerning the remote directory being invalid and found some posts. I haven't seen anyone with the issue of One Drive taking over the documents directory. It has taken me 3 days of installing add-ons, in 8 different simulators only to find out that now neither one of the P3D sims will run. This is how it was installed by the FSDT installers, here is what I mean (add-ons.cfg):

[Package.0]

No matter what I do I can't get it to look in the plain documents folder without going to one drive. Anybody wanna take a wack at it? I'm all out of ideas, and ready to say the hell with it.

Ok I dug a little deeper into this and saw that my documents folder points to one drive as well. If I turn off one drive from the P3D folders in the documents folder, how much would I need to fix besides the add-on.cfg file locations? Would I need to correct anything inside the sim directory as well?

Ok a follow up, I don't know what happened, but today they both started working with the add-on file pointing to the One Drive folder. So for now, this is fixed, I hope.

My sim draws it's scenery from both Add-On folders within both documents folder, not sure why it started doing that, but it's been like that for over a year and it's been fine.

Yeah my regular documents folder has nothing in it, but the One Drive folder has all the P3D folders in it. Never had it do that before, but it's working now so.....keep fingers crossed :)
