I always want my scenery addons to be arranged in the proper order I prefer. So I wrote this SceneryRenum utility to carry out the job efficiently.
For example as shown below that I want to move the Hong Kong Kai Tak addon entries from Area 219 and Area 220 to
the locations right above Addon Scenery entry at Area 138 in the scenery.CFG file.
I just need to cut and paste the entries to where I want them to be and save the file, and then run the utility. Area numbers in the scenery.CFG will be reorderd accordingly. As simple as that.
It works on both FSX and P3D platforms. Also, up to three last backups will be created whenever the utility is run.
From today Sept-1 to Thursday Sept-4 these 4 days, SceneryRenum is available for download directly by clicking the utility’s icon above — as FSX Times has just passed its Fourth Anniversary.
After the period, download link will be provided ONLY upon requests to FSX Times Subscribers as usual. It is now available for download from the Freeware section in my FIP Gauge Store.
Tom, please send me a copy of your SceneryRenum utility.

Hi,
Thank you for this application.
Just a remark: there’s a problem of code page with no us/english language; you should manage this if possible because for example with a french scenery.cfg file, accentuated characters are lost.
Thank you.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the note and I didn’t think about other languages. I’ll keep it in mind for its future update, if any.

Hello, good idea. Thanks. By the way, there is a very nice tool, called SceneryConfigEditor, that does this job (not only) very easily: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/. Best regards.

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for the note regarding SceneryConfigEditor. It’s a pretty good one indeed.
The purpose of creating my own version is I just want something that is simple and quick. Thanks again.

Thanks Tom. Looks like you just provided a “missing” utility for scenery as I haven’t yet found another that will do what this does.
