I'm wondering how many of you folks actually go into your fs9.cfg file after updating your video card driver? I seem to recall somewhere on this board a message about clearing out the video card section of the fs9.cfg, or doing some sort of edit on the file after an update but am wondering if its really worth it?My ATI 9800XT 256MB card's driver needs to be updated and I am thinking ahead before I do anything. The darn control panel on it seems to forget my anti-aliasing and other settings after I reboot the PC.Thanks, happy simming!http://www.lemosnet.com/misc/gpilotsig.jpg

I've had real problems caused by multiple [Display.Device ...] sections in my Fs9.cfg file. Here's what I do. After the new drivers are installed, I rename Fs9.cfg to Fs9.cfg.OLD. Then I start Fs9, go to Options>Settings>Display to adjust my video card settings, then exit Fs9 allowing it to build a new config file.Finally I cut the [Display.Device ...] information from the new config file, paste it over the [Display.Device ...] section in Fs9.cfg.OLD, and rename that file to Fs9.cfg.

Well that seems easy enough. I was hoping to not have to mess with the tweaks to the fs9 file I had already made. Heck I am sure I dont have them all documented either. :-)http://www.lemosnet.com/misc/gpilotsig.jpg

The fs9.cfg is a text file, so you can edit it in any way you like, as long as you save it as a text file when you're done. No need to create a new one unless you just want to for fun. It won't hurt but it won't help either. Most of the time when people claim that starting with a vanilla cfg file helped, it's because they mucked around with it so badly that they needed to reset it. I update my video drivers all the time, and if I've ever changed between Omegas and ATI official drivers, I just go into the fs9.cfg and remove the current display entry, and when you start up, a new one for the new driver will be created. Simple.

Hello,I do the same.
