I know this is old stuff by now, but when I clicked on Fs9 tonight to open it up, it went all the way through to the default flight at KSEA. Normally, it opens me up at Create A Flight screen.How do I modify the Settings so that it opens up the way I want when I boot up FS9?Thanks!JS

In the FS9.cfg under the (Startup) section, SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=1 will get you to the "Create a Flight" screen on FS start. Regards,Roman(KGRB)

Then, create the startup situation you want and with the drop-down menu, the far-left choice, save the flight and name it what you want. You will be given a box to check whether or not you want to make this the default flight - click yes, or check the box, save and there you go.http://www.bwiairport.com/images/menu_BWIlogo.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD

Thanks, gentlemen, great help!JS

As MattNW (No signature-read the rules of topic use Matt) say's you can alter it from the FS9.cfgBut.......................If you don't want to do that, just click on start, program files/microsoft games/FS9 and select 'restore defaults'. That will change the settings for you.As a footnote to this, I use 'FS Addon Manager' which is a program that enables you to test fly any aircraft and changes the execution of FS9 to enable you to do, just this.Now, if you don't, when you have finished testing allow the Addon Manager screen to return after closing FS9 or, you close the 'addon manager' before you close FS9, it changes the FS.cfg to recognize how you shut the program.Consequently, next time you open FS9 it goes straight to where it left off before believing it to be the default setting. I fell into this trap on more than one occasion.I hope that this explains what may have happened to you?All the best,Dave.'Three greens and soft landings'
