Thank you so much for your reply Goldenrocket, you've hit it on the head! I opened scenery.cfg, hit cntrl/end and set the last four entries to false. FS started no problem. Only a matter of a few minutes to find the offending scenery. Guess it's into ADE9 now to find out what's wrong with it. My thanks again.

Hi folks, I wonder if you can help. When I start FS9, which has worked fine for years, the splash screen comes up but before it gets around to opening the main menu screen I get:- "Your computer has run out of available memory. Flight simulator will now close. You may not have enough free space on your hard drive. Run Disk Cleanup to free up space and then try running Flight Simulator again." When I hit OK it then tells me:- "FS9.exe - Applicatiom Error. The instruction at '0x7c14f0e7' referenced memory at '0x0000001c'. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program." Well I thought the first suggestion unlikely as there are 68GBs free on my C: drive but did run Cleanup followed by a defrag but no change there. The second message looked the more likely so I ran Memtest86 which threw up quite a lot of errors. Haha thought I. Ran Memtest on each of the four memory boards individually and isolated the problem board. Replaced the three 'good' boards and thought 'Problem solved' . . . . Problem NOT solved. Exactly the same messages when I tried Flightsim. As the report stated "FS9.exe - Application Error.", I replaced FS9.exe with a known good back-up. Still the same error. Not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have downloaded and installed Flightsim Manager as above but, when I try to run it, it won't load.All I get is a message saying I am using a very old version and to download the latest but the link to the website doesn't work.Any ideas?

Yep!Everything else works that way but Taxiway signs?Read my last again! :(

If you have AFX, tell it to load CYYZ. It will identify the file for you.If you don't have AFX, download the trial version here http://flight1.100megabyte.com/afxdemo.exeYou won't be able to actually do anything with it but it will still identify that file for you.

Well, thanks chaps .... I've got it fixed but I don't know why!!Having read your suggestions, I decided to create a number of 'exclude' zones to cover all the taxiway signs at the airport but in small groups.Obviously, I expected no taxiway signs to be visible (apart from my modified ones)and the idea was to remove the excludes one at a time to unmask the elusive 'master' sign.It didn't work like that!!!When I compiled it, only the default taxiway signs in the exclude zone surrounding my altered signs had disappeared and my new signs were there in all their glory :-beerchug .All the others, though in their own exclude zones, were still there!!Job done. :) So, for anyone else trying to do this exercise, I would suggest:-Put exclusion zones around all the default taxiway signs. Edit and position any that are wrong.When you recompile, those you have altered will show as you have made them and all the rest will still be there.Don't ask me to explain it though:-hmmm

Thanks again for all your replies.Having read many tutorials, (I'm new to this scenery world), I eventually ended up using SceneGenX which seemed to do everything I needed.I modified the text on the eleven relevant taxiway signs (from 'D' to 'E') and created an 'exclude' around those I no longer wish to see from the default scenery. viz:-http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/4795/anerror002js2.jpg http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/1483/anerror005cy3.jpg So I thought I had cracked it, as other changes I made (added taxiway hold points with visual markers etc.) show up fine on FS9.But no! Those original default taxiway signs are still showing through :-http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/4411/anerror004kl3.jpg Where did I go wrong?Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for reply.I have named the taxiways correctly using ADCAD2 but my understanding is that it cannot affect the visual taxiway signs.However, I did as you suggested using BGL2XML and searched for anything to do with taxiways but could find nothing relating to taxiway signs.I can remove the current incorrect ones with 'exclude' files but can't figure out how to obtain new signs and place them correctly.

Hello folks.In spite of it's WWII historic relevance, MS didn't make a very good job of Manston (EGMH) airfield in FS2004 and, as there are no updates in the library, I have redone it in AFCAD2 to comply with both Google Earth and the UK AIS data.My one remaining problem is with the visual taxiway signs i.e taxiway 'E' shows up as taxiway 'D'.I have a whole host of scenery creation/update programs but must admit to never having really learnt to use them properly.Having now ploughed through countless 'readme', 'tutorial' etc. files I have found no reference to any library files that may help and I am still no wiser about how to solve this problem.Any advice would be most welcome.RegardsStuart
