with out reinstalling how can i add this missing folder?
NickDBrennan said:That error means that there is a problem with one of the addon sceneries, not the folder itself. I had created this problem myself a few times. Easiest way to fix it would be to remove each add on one by one from the scenery config inside MSFS and find out which one gives the error.

I did not need the folder until now, this is the first time i tried to add to addon scenery.
I was attempting to get Kitty Hawk. When I tried to extract to addon scenery folder, i discovered it does not exist in ms9. I dont want to uninstall
because i have some kool ga planes, saved flights etc. i forsee a few hours of
saving this uninstalling that instaling this etc, etc etc,

I have NO add on scenery this was a first attempt.
The error message has always been there at start up but I just click ok and the startup continues. the game works ok after that.
I wanted to add Kitty Hawk, and discovered there is no where to export it to.
I will attempt to attach screen shot of exploring fs9.

Try locating your Scenery.cfg (usually in the FS9 root directory folder). Open it and look for the section with "[Area.038]". Under that should be the name of that scenery.. like "Local=XXXX" with a name or full path in place of the X's. Don't change anything in the Scenery.cfg file, but make a note of that Local, and then start up Flight Sim. Go to Settings/Scenery Library. If that scenery area is activated, deactivate it by removing the X in the box. Then exit FS9 & try it. If you don't get the error again, you'll know what scenery is causing the error and we can fix it.
igottafly said:I did exactly what Nick suggested. even named it Igota....Downloaded,extracted Albuquerque, NM, Restarted ms9. No more
error message on start up. Located my ac in Alb. flew and around. the scenery is cool, The designer Forgot the tram tho.
