I recently got a new pc and installed FSX. It's running under windows 10.
Then I installed the 3 England VFR scenery volumes successfully.
However the Scotland north and south installs were problematic.
They were installed but did not show up in FSX.
I couldn't even add them manually to the scenery library, because I couldn't find them anywhere.
Any ideas on this issue?

If you are referring to the PlayHorizon photoscenery packages (and I think that you are, since the JustFlight VFR Real scenery packages do not include Scotland), it is worth noting that the Scotland scenery folders are stored in the PLAYSIMS folder (not the HORIZON folder where England and Wales are located). Can you check to see if you have a folder with this name?

Yes, there is a folder with the name Playsims.
Inside are volumes 6 and 8, which are, I presume, the two scenery areas for Scotland.
So are you saying that I should add these to the FSX scenery library manually?

I just tried to add those volumes in the FSX scenery library, but they don't get recognized.

Are you adding them correctly? You need to add the following to the Scenery Library for Volume 6 (in this order)....

Program Files (x86)\Playsims\VFRGenX\Volume6\05mPhoto
Program Files (x86)\Playsims\VFRGenX\Volume6\5mDTM
Program Files (x86)\Playsims\VFRGenX\Volume6\Airports
Program Files (x86)\Playsims\VFRGenX\Volume6\Vectors

....and then do the same with Volume 8.
