MSFS unable to load airport

Post by Snicker91 » Wed Dec 13, 2023 9:03 am

Hello fellow flightsimmers,

Since the last flight sim update i'm experiencing some trouble with my flytampa amsterdam airport scenery.
When I try to load flight from the world map menu. The loading screen opens and the blue slider at the bottom of the screens runs completely full and then just stays there indefinitely.
The button "FLY" will never show.

I tried a few things.
- Deleted the Flytampa ams directory in the community folder & installed it again via the universal installer.
But this did not seem to work.
- I renamed the community folder, and then tried loading EHAM.
but came up with the same issue. The slider just runs to 100% but the fly button never shows.
- I deleted the asobo eham scenery. but still the problem exists.

Couldn't really find any solutions on the internet. So was hoping some of you may have the key answer in here?
All other add-on scenery airport. including flytampa copenhagen work just fine without any loading problems.
Problem seems to be circling around Schiphol for some reason.

I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem since the last update. Only EHAM doesn't load. The yellow 'ready to fly' button doesn't appear

The problem got fixed by deleting the .dat file in the sceneryobject folder.
By deleting the .dat file MSFS has to create a new file. At least for me that did the trick.
I;m now able to load in at EHAM again.

Promissing! But where's the sceneryobject folder and the .dat file? Searched for it whitin the FT EHAM folderstructure, but it's not there (I guess)?

-edit- found in %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SceneryIndexes a flytampa-amsterdam.dat file. Is that the one you mean? I've deleted it, started the sim and it created it again, but to no avail. Problem still exists. Did you do something else?

I tried multiple re-installations via the uni-installer.
That didn't seem to do anything.

But straight after I deleted the flytampaamsterdam.dat file from this folder
AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes

I started the sim, tried it again and it loaded right up.

Thnx for your reply. Much appreciated! Thing is: I don't have "AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes". I Think I have the steam version and you don't, or am I wrong?

That is correct. I've bought MSFS via the Microsoft store.
A quick search on google says that your sceneryindexes folder should be in this location:
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SceneryIndexes

hope it helps!
