May 20, 200521 yr Hi Bill,Its actually in a few locations, but check here and see if this is what you are after:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft GamesFlight SimulatorRegards,
May 20, 200521 yr Also, look under HKEY_CURRENT_USERMost settings are in the FS9.cfg. The registry is important if you intend on relocating FS9 to another drive or another folder. Keep in mind, many add-ons also track their paths in the registry so if you're considering a move of FS9, you may have to find those keys as well.-John
May 20, 200521 yr Hey guys Thanks for your help. I intend to move FS9 to a new drive and I want to get the registry right. Looking under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, there was a FS9 entry in the tree, but not thing in the key value.Thanks againBill M Bill McIntyre Asus StrixB650E-F Gamer, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Corsair Titanium DDR5 64GB, Samsung 990 PRO-4TB M.2, (4) 2TB SSD's, Corsair H1150i liquid cooler, RTX 2080TI Founders Edition, (2) LG 34" HD Curved Monitor, Sound Blaster Audigy X, 1Kw PC Power & Cooling Power Supply, Corsair Obsidian Full tower Case.

May 20, 200521 yr How can I get Afcad to point to FS9 new location?Bill M Bill McIntyre Asus StrixB650E-F Gamer, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Corsair Titanium DDR5 64GB, Samsung 990 PRO-4TB M.2, (4) 2TB SSD's, Corsair H1150i liquid cooler, RTX 2080TI Founders Edition, (2) LG 34" HD Curved Monitor, Sound Blaster Audigy X, 1Kw PC Power & Cooling Power Supply, Corsair Obsidian Full tower Case.

May 20, 200521 yr While I can't answer the AFCAD question, I will look into the registry as time permits. I know there's an entry buried somewhere in HKLU for FS9, although it could have been dumped into mine by an add-on.-John
