Funny I was in Tesco today and the till lady said "fork handles".

 

...there was a toddler in the queue in front of me, four years old today, didn't look that much younger than Jim surprisingly.

Haha think jim is going to have a nice surprise to wake up too

Sounds like it might be my brother Steve. He's a little younger than me. Of course, with a last name of 'Young', how can I ever get old?

 

@Vernon: Hey Vernon! You're finally showing your face! That's always dangerous you know. Did you photo shop your picture too? LOL!

 

Best regards,

Vernon. Well it was pretty good of you to spot it. And yes damned good shot of that cool dude on whatsitscalled, well I don't get to see much prime TV these days, but it'll come to me.

 

Jim, I hope you get a jolly good measure of celebration, you deserve a big hand. Happy 49th at the end of the month Jim!

Thanks Steve.

 

Best regards,

Haha no photo shop here, still a young pup! My apologies to jim i will take away 21 candles as i thought he was coming up for 70!!!!

Don't mention the size of the cake Vernon.

i thought he was coming up for 70!!!!

If you look at my profile you will sadly see this is the case. I think Steve was trying to make me feel good and he succeeded!

 

Best regards,

your only as old as you feel

Try this

 

In File Explorer go to the folder:

C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Rename dll.xml to dll.xml.org

 

Go to the folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Flights\other

Right-click on FLTSIM.FLT and choose Open with FSX.

 

Hey, this worked for me with a similar problem I just had with FSX-SE not starting up, after I had a crash last night for some unknown reason.

Now, how does that dll.xml being renamed to dll.org affect FSX-SE, because it does not rebuild it?!

 

Actually, it still crashes on reload.  So what do I need to do?!

 

 

**Nevermind: I was in Offline mode through steam.  I went to Online, and it loaded?!**

dll.xml starts exe addons as the sim starts, so renaming it means those exe addons don't start with the sim. That enables you to see if any exe's starting with the sim cause trouble. Change the name back if no differences encountered. If a difference in the operation is encountered those exe addons or their settings need inspection.

 

Sometimes steam edition FSX-SE won't run properly unless it's been started once from the steam menu, then should work OK after that.

Well, it did it a second time in Offline mode, so I had to restart it again in Online mode, then go back to Offline mode and it worked again; kind of dumb, but at least it worked.
