Hello everyone, I am having a strange issue with SweetFX in FS9. After learning about SweetFX, I decided to install it in FS2004. As instructed, I extracted all files to the FS9 directory. I turned on bloom, HDR, vibrance and anti aliasing. On running FS9, I could not see any change. I decided to turn on the "CRT" effect to check if the effects were very slight. On starting FS9, I noticed that the aircraft preview box looked like the display of a very old monitor. But, to my surprise, nothing happened in flight. Scroll Lock did not work. For some reason, I brought up the Kneeboard. THEN, with the kneeboard on-screen, the screen became exactly like the aircraft preview box. Now scroll lock turned the effect on and off. But on hiding the kneeboard, the effects disappeared. It has no effect in FSX either, with or without kneeboard. Works fine in a few other games, not tested in many yet. In Fs9, all other effects work fine, with kneeboard on screen. Has anyone else experirenced this bizarre problem, and is there a solution? OS - Windows 7 32 bit.

Let me start by saying that - I am probably the youngest member here, an avid simmer(and gamer, also bookworm) - who is 14 years old. I love simulated flght in FSX, sometimes using FS9 when I want a change. My knowledge about flight mainly comes from the lessons in FSX, the learning center, and my own experiments. I also take an interest in computers, and am a fairly capable C++ programmer, and a beginner in Java. Apart from flight simulation, I also enjoy train simulators and submarine simulation(Silent Hunter 4). Combat flight simulation is also a favourite, with me owning IL2 Sturmovik 1946, IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover, Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3, and all the titles in the WIngs Over series. Among my other games, I have Racedriver:GRID, Colin McRae DiRT 2, and a few games of the Need for Speed series, with many Star Wars games, and Halo CE and 2. Besides my trusty PC, I also own a PSP and a Wii.
