FS9 Bug

When I start fs9 instead of going to the create a flight it goes straight to the default Cessna cockpit and I have to use escape to return to create a flight its only recently started this any ideas why anybody. Thanks

It sounds like you saved a flight. Go into the Flight Simulator folder in "My Documents" and delete your last flight.
If that doesn't work lets try something else, what... I don't know right now.

Did as you suggested but to no avail deleted last saved flight, but still ended in the cessna default cockpit. Thanks for your help. Jim

It has to be something in that folder.
Click on the small aircraft in there one at a time, each one will launch the sim. Delete the ones that take you to the cockpit.
If you delete them all it may not start then you will have to reinstall so watch out.
Let us know how you do,

If you have any that say "saved flight" move them to a temp folder that you make.

go to fs9.cfg and edit startup section
show_opening_screen=1
