fsx loads immediately onto runway without main screen

There is a fix I can't remember what, sorry about that.

Do you have SP1 installed.

oh yes i have SP1 installed, and unlike everybody else I don't really notice a difference..

by the way...

2 Gigs of ram, pretty good video card and new processor although its dual core- what a waste

With a DC2 and SP1 you should be getting a boost. It was made for using it, unlike the original FSX.
FSX has to be without add-on scenery to add SP1.
If you have any, completely clean it off your system, and registry. Reload FSX then put SP1 on.

It can't go on a h/d with any parts of FSX left on.

Some here have reinstalled Windows just to have a clean slate.

Drastic...yes, but not if it's your main reason for buying a new machine.

okay I will have to try that. I didn't realize that SP1 allowed it to work on dual core.... when I go into task manager it is clearly not running on both of them even with SP1... so I might try the reinstall etc... thanks!

ohboy-

Settings/general/program, [Show opening screen] is UN checked.

After game start, press esc key, end flight to get back to the opening screen. From there you can select Settings.

I had the same issue after re-installing FSX. I found that the box with "show main screen" was checked but it was still loading a flight to begin with. I then unchecked it and now I dont have the game starting straight away I have the main screen, weird but it may help. Just seems like the program got confused.

for any one still haveing this error go to your fsx config file and open with note pad find the text saying show opening screen and change value to 1 and save happy flying
