Only the first scenery in the Community is taken into account


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

It seems that only the first scenery in my Community is taken into account by FS2024 :

I installed some sceneries: FlyHigh EPWA and some FSDT ones (i wanted to start my career at LFEQ).
In the store/library of FS2024, only EPWA was visible.
The folder flyhigh-airport-epwa-warsaw was the first in the community folder, sorted by alphanumerical order.

Like all FSDT sceneries was symlink, i believed that it was the reason why FS2024 didn’t detect them.

With AddonLinkers i added some FlightBeam sceneries (KSFO, KDEN, KIAD), so their names (like flightbeam-ksfo) come before flyhigh-airport-epwa-warsaw and so their symlinks where placed before the FlyHigh EPWA scenery in the community folder.

I started FS2024 again, and then, only the first one (KSFO) was visible in FS2024.

I did remove flightbeam-ksfo and then flightbeam-kden became the first one, and then, KDEN was the sole scenery visible in the FS2024’s store/library.

All these sceneries are declared compatible with FS2024.

In the store/library, then name of the library is not displayed (look at screenshot) until i clic on it.

I provide some more information about this bug:

I managed to get around the Community Folder Location will not change by reinstalling the simulator.

But i still experience this issue:

  • Only the first addon in my community appears in the list of installed addons.
  • No text is displayed until i select the addon in the list.
  • The scenery addons in my community seem to be seen at a moment: the %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\SceneryIndexes folder contains the .dat files for all my sceneries in my Community.
  • When i start a flight in one of the airports in my addons, the sim get stuck in loading (i tried to wait for more than one hour) like it’s explained in this bug report: Can’t start a flight, just get a loading circle when clicking ‘start flight’, but it’s not due to the live weather option not checked.

I hope it will be investigated soon: that prevents me to fly with this expensive sim

The last MSFS update fixed the issue:

  • Added possibility to visualize community content in “My Library”

How do i mark this bug as closed ?

yes same thing.

I used this feature and set my path. I rebooted and clicked OPEN in this feature and all my 6 add ons are there… but do not appear in the sim. Other than in this library area.

I went and looked again and it reset to default path on C: I have lots of add ons and I don’t want them on C:. Anyway it shows the old path. (even though I changed it). This is NOT STICKING when I change it.
