Multiple Display.Device... sections in cfg

Featured Replies

Well, now I have two Display.device sections in my FSX.cfgIs everyone jealous?mycfg.jpg

No, because there is just one small difference between the two.

Unless you running two of the same vid card, your FSX.cfg maybe corrupted. Delete the config and let fsx rebuild a new one. Then copy any tweaks over. Backup the dud one of course.

Why not just delete 4 lines in his old .cfg?

Agreed. But sometimes it's not a terrible idea to delete and rebuild the fsx.cfg file. It even solved a CTD error I was receiving last week.

Deleted the first entry, ran the sim and it saved the cfg with the proper single entry. Easy enough.

I ran into the awful NT.DLL crash for hours last night. I deleted my FSX.CFG and viola!

Two display entries does NOT mean it was broke. If he had graphical troubles in FSX, then it was broke. Many FSX users probably have the same situation, don't even know it, and have exactly NO problems running FSX.Maybe you can explain to us what exactly was broke!

I said Maybe corrupted. If I said your fsx is corrupted then that is quite a difference in the meaning. If I found two entries in my fsx config, I would rebuild a new one regardless, like everything to be in order, but that's me. Not like you not to read a post correctly Jim :)

Two display entries does NOT mean it was broke.
What does it mean then ? Could be a bad video driver install, could be a combination of things as explained by Nick @ simforums. It was Nick who stated that two graphic entries means the config is corrupted.If you have a different explanation, please feel free to share it, i'm all ears.

I had this kind of problem with my system. Two entries with different settings. It created all kind of problem including blue band in the sky, twinkling of leaf tree but not evergreen tree, twinkling of alsphalt.I renamed fsx.cfg then let fsx rebuid a new one. Dont forget to redo all your settings afterward including aircraft realism and graphics settings.It solved all my problems at once. A line by line comparison of the two fsx.cfg files make me think that the double entry with different settings was causing the problem.I have two 580 in sli that drive 3 screens.

I said Maybe corrupted.
So "sounds like" and "Maybe" mean the same things to you? Just asking!!

You probably have 3 entries then.

Just one entry defining a large resolution screen....
