It has really been bothering me how FS Commander wouldn't put any of the scenery that I had purchased into its database. so I went back and forth with the programmer of it and basically he says it cant be done. So I started playing with the database maker for FS Commander and found out it will read the BGL files if they are placed in the "FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery" folder. so I started copying just the BGL files from just the scenery folders of my purchased scenery and pasting them into the folder in "FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery" folder. Ran the data base program for FS Commander and all worked great. then I deleted all the BGL files that were in the scenery folder (3400 of them) and started FS Commander and all was updated. there was a few that didn't work the way I thought, but I deleted them from the "FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery" folder and ran the database program again. I made a separate folder that has all the BGL files in it and if I add new scenery to FSX I'll just copy the BGL files to this folder and then copy it all to the "FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery" folder and then run the database maker for FS Commander again.
Hope this helps.

Does that also include Orbx add on scenery or does FS Commander handle that ok?

It seems to handle Orbx okay.
