P3Dv5: If the file 'magdec.bgl' cannot be found then either the path to the simulator is not properly set, or the installation of the simulator is broken/corrupted.

The second error is because of the first error, the database could not be created properly and therefore the file 'magvar.bin' was not created.

 

MSFS: Same as above, the file 'comservices.bin' was not found because the database could not be created properly due the error 'Could not find part of path 'G:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\official\onestore\fs-base-genericairports\scenery'.

 

In both situations, please make sure that the simulator is properly installed.

If the issue persists, please create a set of support files, one for the Client, one for the Server and then upload them here.

Good morning, thanks for replying.

"In both situations, make sure the simulator is installed correctly."

Answer:

Both simulators are installed correctly as I always used. P3D is installed on disk C in a specific folder P3D V5 and FS 2020 is installed on a HD dedicated just for that disco. Both are with normal behavior running and running without problems.

"If the problem persists, please download a set of support files, one for the Client, one for the Server and then upload them here".

Answer:

ok

I have no idea what is wrong with your installation but I can see that the DbBuilder is only finding 365 files to scan, resulting in only 9 airports. Usually there are many thousands of files to scan and about 25000 to 30000 airports worldwide.  It seems that all the default airports could not be found. Can you check whether the paths in the file C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\scenery.cfg are available? Can you upload this file so I can have a look at the content?

I can also see that some scenery files are installed on the '..\OneDrive\Documents\..' path which is not a good idea. In the context of flight simulation do not use paths which are synchronized with a cloud service.

Thanks for your attention. I uninstalled OneDrive to no longer take that risk. The strange thing is that it is happening in both sims (FS 2020/P3D). Below is the scenery.cfg file.

After uninstalling OneDrive you have to uninstall P3Dv5 too and do a clean and new install of it because all the previous folder names pointing to a OneDrive location are stored in the registry database of Windows and therefore they must be removed first. This can only be done with uninstalling P3D, then reinstalling P3Dv5.

It is also a good idea to use another target folder name than before (e.g. use C:\P3Dv5) when doing the new installation.

Thanks for you attention.

P3D v5 is installed in C:\P3D v5 (I will uninstall and reinstall), and what do I do with FS2020?
