The obvious answer is, "Uncheck it in settings." But the next time I load FSX, it's checked again.

>The obvious answer is, "Uncheck it in settings." But the next>time I load FSX, it's checked again.Sounds to me like your fsx.cfg file got write protected some how. Check it by right clicking it and select properties. If "Read Only" is checked click it off. Settings also won't take if the FSX terminates abnormally!

>Sounds to me like your fsx.cfg file got write protected some>how. Check it by right clicking it and select properties. If>"Read Only" is checked click it off. Settings also won't take>if the FSX terminates abnormally!Thanks for the suggestions. I have verified that "Read Only" is not checked. I have also inspected fsx.cfg manually, after exiting FSX with "Show ATC text" unchecked. The relevant line reads:ShowATCText=0But when I reload FSX, "Show ATC Text" is checked again. Exit FSX, inspect fsx.cfg, and the relevant line now reads:ShowATCText=1

The only other reason, I have seen this is if you were in demo mode, then it will won't save settings! Other then that, I can't think of anything else that could cause that!

No, not in demo mode. I bought FSX the day it was released, and I don't think I've ever been able to get this variable to stick. I take it this works for other people?

David; I'm in the same boat you're in it doesn't stick for me either.

It's broken, David. Call it a bug.Best regards.Luis

If you choose to disable ATC Text, and promptly exit the game, it will set it to 0. However, once you've loaded the game again to make another flight, it will be set to 1 again. I would call this a bug.

A couple of suggestions:1. Try deleting FSX.CFG and letting FSX build another one.2. Ensure that there aren't two lines with the ATC text switch in the FSX.CFG. Just trying to be helpful. I had a similar problem when I started with FSX but it went away don't know why.John

I spent quite a bit of time researching this, to try to fix it. It is definitely a bug; I'm surprised that it doesn't affect everyone.Dave Blevins

Create (using the Flight Save commands) a new default flight with the "Show ATC Text" turned offHope this helps

>Create (using the Flight Save commands) a new default flight>with the "Show ATC Text" turned offThat worked for me too, B. Thank you.
