A slight problem with FSX, I'm certain someone can help.

You'll have to delete it, build anew one and make a copy so this won't happen again.

That is if no one can fix the line that you need.

Ok, so that is true that if you delete the file the game will automatically make a new one with all default settings?

I certainly want to make sure before deleting anything as this is the only prob I have with the sim and I don't want my attempts to fix it to kill my game.

I also noticed that the "yellow brick road" that FSX gives you when you select progressive taxi instructions is also messed up, along with the bugels coming out of the rotating beacon.

Neither of these is very bad, but just little annoyances I'd like to get rid of if I can.

If rebuilding doesn't help, drop in disk one and do a repair.

You realize that when you do something like a repair your taking the risk of blowing the install.
Just a friendly warning, nothing is foolproof.

Yep if you delete fsx.cfg it will rebuild a new one.

Thanks guys, thats the info I needed.

I'm going to reset everything back to normal and try again.

he cant just uninstall and reinstall FSX?

Help!! I can't find the file! I used window's search function and it can't even find it!!

What other name can fsx.cfg be?? Where would it normally be located so I can manually find it myself? I manually looked in the documents and settings thing and nothing is there! You guys won't believe this, I even did a search with known phrases in the file such as TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL and it found NOTHING! The file appears to have possibly been deleted!!! I'm certainly going to need a fresh file if someone can send me one!

What the heck is going on here?

Can someone maybe email me the default FSX.cfg file? That would be great. Email address is b_hebert1234@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

you have system folder hidden by default, google it if your unsure, but the folder is at

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

Well I told windows to search all hidden files and folders and it couldn't find it either.

I don't have that directory that you are talking about. I don't have a "your user name" directory under "documents and settings."

Try just looking for FSX in the search area, and see if it comes up that way, it should come up.

the your user name should be the account your running on, may be admin or your 1st name, hence me putting your user name in brackets 🙂

start from c:\, dont just dive into my docs as thats not the right path.
