Having installed an add-on aircraft (DHC8-Q311B) I now get an 'Aircraft Initializaion Failure' message when I 'Create a Flight' and in the Cockpit View the whole screen is filled with the Panel. Only by clicking on 'select another aircraft' can I get the correct cockpit view. Also when I select an airfield from 'Selected Location' the add-on airfield I installed appears, and I cannot change it. I have deleted the aircraft and the airfield and uninstalled everything associated with FS9 and done a fresh install of FS9 only. I still get the same problems. A Search of my hard drive reveals no sign of the offending aircraft or airfield. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks! Butters

I have solved the problem! I had forgotten about the FS2004 folder in Documents and Settings\User\Appication Data\Microsoft\FS9. Having deleted it and reinstalled FS9 things are back to normal. Now to reinstall all my add-ons!Butters

...and had you started there by simply renaming the fs9.cfg file and allowing the sim to build a fresh copy......you most likely would have saved yourself from the bother of reinstalling FS9, much less all your add-ons...Even so, I'm glad to hear that you will soon be back up to full speed.Folks, "Reinstalling FS" should always be the option of last resort!
