January 27, 200620 yr Is it just me, or are we seeing a very large number of people lately that have a problem with FS9, and it seems like one of their first attempts at solving the problem is to uninstall and reinstall FS9. I also see, as one would suspect, that most times this does nothing to fix the problem. What a hassle to go though that for nothing. I would try almost everything else first before I would even consider the idea of an uninstall of FS9.
January 27, 200620 yr Hello,I agree , I will try ALL possible solutions before uninstall/reinstall FS9.I never did this operation. Emile EBBR Z590 Aorus Elite, i9-11900K 3.5Ghz Nvidia RTX 5070, 32 GB Mem, SSD 3 Tera , 3 monitors Win11 Pro X64 LM P3D V6.1 Little Nav Map Hifisim Nvidia 591.44
January 27, 200620 yr Moderator I am amazed at the number of folks who don't know that they do not have to "delete or rename the FS9.cfg file" at all.Simply HOLD Ctrl-Shift while starting FS9 to force a rebuild of the FS9.cfg file! ;) Fr.

January 27, 200620 yr Hi Bill,Is the old fs9.cfg over-written or renamed? Every time I see FS9 looking great I archive the .cfg file with a date or some decsriptive name that I can refer to later- and of course I back it up after the first install.Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
January 27, 200620 yr It just overwrites the old one.

January 27, 200620 yr So one can just save a copy then do the force build thing. If you don't like what comes out, rename the old one back...Dave
January 27, 200620 yr Author You can use the command line switch: "(path)FS9.exe" "/CFG: (pathfilename)"To start with a different cfg file. You can create many shortcuts with different cfg files if desired. Or, use FSAutostart whcih allows you to specify a cfg file.there is also a troubleshooting program folder created, with shortcuts for "reset defaults" -RESETINI and "safe mode" -SWREND command switches which might be worth trying before taking drastic action.scott s..
