Hi,
I am having an issue with addon sceneries not being cached properly, I get the error "Could not find valid AFCAD data at this position, services are not available".
Everytime I refresh the cache, the cached scenery.cfg file in the roaming Virtuali folder creates entries like this :
[Area.113]
Title=Flightbeam - KIAD scenery
Local=E:\Prepar3D v4\Flightbeam\Flightbeam - KIAD\scenery\scenery
Layer=114
Active=TRUE
Diagnostics log:
IGNORING "E:\Prepar3D v4\Flightbeam\Flightbeam - KIAD\scenery\scenery" (layer 114): directory not found
[Area.116]
Title=FlyTampa-Las Vegas
Local=E:\Prepar3D v4\FlyTampa\LasVegas\scenery\scenery
Layer=117
Active=TRUE
Diagnostics log:
IGNORING "E:\Prepar3D v4\FlyTampa\LasVegas\scenery\scenery" (layer 117): directory not found

Obviously the extra \scenery is the problem but my scenery loads fine so it is like the caching system is adding it for no reason?
Here is a shortened version of how the xml looks in the sceneries xml files, clearly the caching is not working correctly?
<AddOn.Component>
<Category>Scenery</Category>
<Path>E:\Prepar3D v4\Flightbeam\Flightbeam - KIAD\scenery</Path>
<Name>Flightbeam - KIAD scenery</Name>
<Layer>194</Layer>
</AddOn.Component>
<AddOn.Component>
<Category>Scenery</Category>
<Path>scenery</Path>
<Name>FlyTampa-Las Vegas</Name>
<Layer>201</Layer>
</AddOn.Component>
I have worked out I can use GSX but I have to manually change the cache scenery.cfg everytime it rebuilds which is a pain!

I tried the old scenery.cfg method and it now works!
I also saw the recent patch notes for FSDT so I'm guessing FlightBeam/FlyTampa sceneries also need the same fix.

Fixed in the current Live Update.
