April 11, 201412 yr On Windows 7: C:\Users\[Your User]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ If you don't see the "AppData" folder that's because it's hidden. You can show hidden folder under "folder options", just search for "folder options" on the start menu and under the "View" tab, set "show hidden files, folders, and drives" Jaime Beneyto My real life aviation and flight simulation videos [English and Spanish] System: i9 9900k OC 5.0 GHz | RTX 2080 Super | 32GB DDR4 3200MHz | Asus Z390-F

April 12, 201412 yr Then it is hidden. You have to modify your folder options it has radio button choices of what is displayed and how. Do a search on your computer for "Folder Options" Bob Officially retired
April 12, 201412 yr So, please tell me, what is the fsx.cfg file that resides in the game's main [root] directory - does that not provide the game with all its variables? I always thought it was that one which we amend... Thank you, Phil
April 12, 201412 yr Press Windows key and R Then navigate to Roaming, Microsoft then FSX. - Paul Elliott http://www.avsim.com/topic/450607-amy-johnson-london-to-australia-attempt/
