October 29, 200718 yr Can anyone help me please when I start up FS9 it loads into the so called opening screen as soon as it loads on the "Create a flight" screen it just locks up & the area where you normally view the aircraft is just black, HOWEVER If I omit the opening screen via the FS9.cfg file so it loads up straight into a flight then: if I end the flight it takes me back to the "select a flight" screen, then when I click on "Create a flight" it loads up & works normally, but if I re-select the opening screen again in the FS.cfg & reload FS it comes onto the "Create a flight" screen & still locks up. any ideas of whats happened here or how I can rectify it without a reinstall of FS? :-hmmm :-zhelp
October 30, 200718 yr Since no one else has answered, I'll take a stab and just suggest that if you have an nVidia card, this is a problem with some of the drivers. Do a search in the forums here at Avsim on black screen nvidia and see if that's the problem.Sorry I can't help more. Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

October 31, 200718 yr Commercial Member Don't reinstall just yet, it has to have something to do with your default flight I think. Open fs9.CFG and remove whatever's after SITUATION=C:Documents and Settings[USER]My DocumentsFlight Simulator Filesblah, blah... so it just reads "SITUATION=". That'll put you back to the default Skyhawk at KSEA when the sim loads. See if that changes anything.Jim
