Thanks for the reply. Your answer got me looking in the right place which reminded me that most of my traffic was generated via World of AI files - BGLs for all of which were properly in the Scenery folder. Further digging showed, though, that the Aircraft files for those flight plans had gotten deleted somehow. Now I am rebuilding those via WoAI and the process, though slow, is working. Thanks again!

My FSX will no longer display any AI traffic at all. I suspect that my traffic files have been corrupted but I have no idea where to find them or how to regenerate or recreate them. Any suggestions or instructions most welcome!

I have had a strange error message for quite some time and would appreciate any suggestions for clearing it. On start-up I receive the message: 1.000000000000000 is greater than 1000000000.00000000000000000000000 Clicking the "OK" clears the Error Message but then it repeats itself exactly 37 times after which FSX continues and loads and runs correctly. Other than a sore finger appears to be no harm but I certainly would like to get rid of all the clicks! Any suggestions? Thanks!

You are absolutely correct. I killed Constant Guard and rebuilt my standard.xml and FSX now works again.A HUGE THANK YOU to fourpoints37 for posting here and to 34kansas who found the fix and posted it to FlightSim.And don't worry, the word "crisis" is not an exaggeration. After putting a gazzilion hours (and too many $$$) into customizing my FSX and more hours than I care to admit FSXing around, I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Maybe a message there?Thanks again!

Some additional information:I found Standard.xml on my installation disc. That file is 170kb - the Standard in my FSX installation was only 30kb. So I deleted the one in FSX and replaced it with the original. I started FSX and the keyboard worked fine - until about the 3rd keystroke, then random keyboard errors began. Pressing 'p" for pause worked - but then pressing it again to un-pause would not work. Pressing "g" raised the gear - pressing it again did nothing for about 60 seconds then the gear lowered but other keys failed. I closed FSX down and looked at Standard.xml again and it had grown to 180kb. Something is overwriting and modifying the file!Conclusions:1. Too many people are having the same issue. See similar comments on the forum in FlightSim.com2. Someone has uploaded a faulty and/or malicious file3. The bad file is probably not in FSX itself as others have seen it recur after re-installing FSX, though the problem seems to only affect FSX3. Someone is getting a lot of laughs at us poor dummies who can't find the solution!!!!Help!

Unfortunately I am having similar problems and, like you, have no solution. I sort of assumed that one of the recent add-ons I installed had corrupted whatever file controls the standard keyboard. I went in and deleted every add-on going back to before the problem started but no joy.Since several people have hit the same issue recently, I suspect that there was a faulty file (or virus!!) in a download.Does anyone know the name of the standard keyboard config file? It should be on the original installation discs so if I can identify the file I could try to delete and replace.All suggestions welcome!!
