July 9, 200916 yr Hi Guys,Sorry me again as you guessed am not the best person at PC's. Again I've read several messages about people deleting the FS9.CFG file and then when starting FS2004 it rebuilds another one. Could somebody just explain the benefits of this please? And like me I've never done this is it good to do it every so often? Any help / advice appreciated.Can anybody recommend other things that are benefical to FS9 as far as making it better. I'm not having problems was curious as have seen others run various things and that's what has made me think.RegardsJason Jason Thompson
July 9, 200916 yr Hi,It just helps when FS might start crashing to the desktop, or you start to get error messages. Other than that, you can leave it alone as far as deleting it every so often.Thanks,
July 10, 200916 yr Yes, don't delete FS9.cfg unless you have a problem. It stores your configuration settings. Occasionally the file may become corrupt and prevent Flight Simulator from loading. Only then should you delete it and let FS build a new one.The new one will be created with the default settings so you would have to set all your preferences again.Best wishes,John My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star! http://www.adventure-unlimited.org
