First try deleting the log file, if that doesn't do it then delete the FS9 cfg. file.

Not working yet...


Loading more than one add-on at a time can be trouble.
You load one and see if it works, then on to another.
Now you don't know which caused the problem.
The only this now short of a complete reinstall would be to get rid of all add-ons and see if the Sim works without them.
Some crap can be hiding, that can be the final problem.

Yes, the Sim rebuilds it.
You get a new one minus any problem entries but you also loose any custom settings that you've done or payware has done.
It's a small loss to get the Sim started again.

I don't fly airliners, just GA, single engine.
Someone should be able to help with that.
