Hi, Before installing the patch:Your *.dll that's go to fs2004module should be the default fs2004 one, they are in disc 2 in the MSGAME3.CAB, such as gps_export.dll, panel.dll etc. to be sure, I recommend to restore your original *.dll from fs2004 disc 2 in the MSGAME3.CAB they should go here fs2004module.-If you are using fsuipc already, you should get the latest one available http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html (not needed if you are not using this already)-If you are using active camera already (not needed if you are not using this already)http://www.anticyclone.be/AC2004%20update%20to%202_0.zipand installed their update patch:http://www.anticyclone.be/AC2004patchFS9_1.zip----------------------------------------------------------------------***Forget using the NO-cd even if it's appaers to works**-Overwrite of the updated FS9.EXE, you will lose significant fixesincluded in the Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight (update)."-You will need to restore the default.xml (fs2004autogen)-You will need your CD 4 to run fs2004-You won't loose any fs2004 default or addons texture with the patch.-Read the patch Doc.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Thanks for the info Chris. I assume that you have installed the patch - any problems with FS9 after the update?RegardsGraham Crossley

Hi, Never had any problems with fs2004 patch's install and after.I forget to tellIssue with generic.bgl and the Update setupSome third-party scenery providers update generic.bgl as part of their package. In certain cases, this updated generic.bgl file will cause the Update to terminate before completing installation. A message will be displayed:

Hi,Do you happen to know which add-ons modidy these files?- gps_export.dll- generic.bglThis way I know where to expect possible problems with 3rd party addons and look for future updates.

Hi, also from Microsofthttp://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...sh.asp#overview

I had to reinstall the original panel.dll to get the patch working. I have no idea what addon amended this dll in the first place.greetzStephan

Hi Chris,i followed all your detailed instructions and restored all default .dll's and fs9.exe.FSUIPC v3.40 and ActiveCamera v2+9_1 patch.For the second time now FS9_1 patch exited installation because of scenerygenericgeneric.bgl (i am pretty sure i restored all default files in that folder!). But the installer doesn't recognize it...What should i do at this point?Thanks in advance for helpingLuigi ;-)P.S. Forgotten to tell you that after a failed patch installation i can restore FS9 folder synchronizing its directory with a backup copy on a client networked pc.

Luigi, the answer is in the link that Chris provided, but check that the general.bgl is the original, and not a modified original. Did you get it from the CD or from a back up folder?Allcott

Edit: NPGreg

Hi Allcot,i restored all files from originals. Can this trouble related to the fact i have several other files (addons) in scenerygeneral? Should i restore the entire original scenerygeneral folder?thanksLuigi ;-)
