FS won't start... Missing File..

Just load the Sim over itself and whatever is missing will be replaced. It won't double any files and that way you wont loose anything that you loaded in the Sim.

Sorry, I just checked and it's in c:\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator 9\scenery\base\scenery.

Not easy to find but it's also 7mb and I can only send 3mb. I'll have to look further for a download but I don't think there is one.

It's on disk #3 you can find it, drag and drop a copy to your desktop and put it back into the file that it belongs in (the one above).

Good luck.

i have the same problem, i found the Dem4Km.bgl file on disk 3 and replaced it but it still says that its corrupt/damaged, so is my disk scratched or something?

what can i do?

please help!!

me to! i tried copying it then pasting it back and all tht lark but it still wont load and shows the error message, pleasssse help.

Since guest and nik are the same person, if it won't work by picking it off the disk you'll have to reinstall.

Overnite It went bad started fs9 got error missing Dem4Km.bgl file.It now doesn't show but will not load?? HELP

It's in \Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\BASE\Scenery\ , take the old one out before you put the new one in, you can overwrite it but that seems to be part of your problem.

Remove it and see if the sim works without it, if not put it back and do step one.

i tried what you said chief captain. i erased the old one went to \Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\BASE\Scenery but it shows the same message. that it may be missing or damaged. please reinstall and FS will quit

Outside of loading it on another computer to see if it's the disks or loading from a CD burner is the problem I don't know what else to say.

can you please send me the file to my email if you have it. my email is jrivera_gaekel@hotmail.com. Thank you very much

I've done everything! Any more ideas. Replaced the file a number of times. Still no luck. Any ideas???

Hmm, am I missing something here?

If people have "corrupted" or missing files then the obvious solution is to simply reinstall the program. Make a backup copy of your "Saved Games (flights) and reinstall FS2004. As has been mentioned - that will replace any missing or problem files. Of course, if you DONT have the game then that will be difficult to do and you might want to go and buy it.

wombat457 has a good point, just reinstall. If you have a CD/DVD writer, I would save the [Aircraft],[Gages]and[Effects] folders also. That way any downloaded aircraft won't be lost.🙂

Thanks CRJCapt, I just thought that was the most logical thing to do so long as you have the game to reinstall that is. You too make a good point about backing up aircraft etc, that will obviously save a lot of possible frustration.
