Thanks so much, I'll try that.

Hi all. I installed Mfs2020 on a new computer.it worked fine. Got the Japan update etc. However, couple weeks later the hard drive died. replaced drive, reinstalled Windows. I was able to reinstall Msf2020 as before. However, I only got two planes, and no Japan update. In addition, Msf2020 dose not even show up in control panel in order to remove and reinstall. Odd huh. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks so much Stan. Appreciate the response. If you find it in your heart to buy me an Intel I7 processor, that would be great. However, If not, I still need a bit of help with my current situation. Regards, BigStubby

First off, my rig. Win 10/64bit, AMD FX6300 CPU 4.0 gig, ASUS 970 MB, 16 meg 2400 speed ram, 2 SSD's, Nvidia GTX 750 ti 2 gig ram. 29 inch LG Ultrawide monitor. Ok, Have had FS9 in the past, but, laid off for several years. Built the new rig, and rekindled my love of FS. Tried to load FS9, would not work. So, decided to purchase FSX Deluxe Edition purchase the Steam addition, because I have several other games from them. (all work great). Steam itself is loaded on C:\, I loaded FSX and other games on the D drive. FSX installed, and ran fine. (sorta). I am plagued by what I call pop ups. Meaning, as I fly, the textures pop up. Close up, or far away. I have flown in a circle for 10 min at any given location and it is always the same. Aircraft make no difference. So, after a month of reading this forum, YouTube vids Google hunts, have tried all the recommendations from Word Not Allowed and Ryan's Nvidia Inspector settings. No help at all. In addition, the ONLY cfg change that made a difference was, WideViewAspect=True. Other than that I see no improvement at all. Still looks and acts like out of the box. In case you are wondering, I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted folders per forum instructions, ran regedit to clear any misc FSX crap. I could go on and on. I do have addons installed, but, they are not active due to this issue. (Can't wait to see what happens with those). ActiveSky Direct, REX4, Ground Environment X, FreemeshX (North America). It almost seems like I have a secret CFG somewhere that is overwriting my changes. And yes, I am making changes to the cfg in my profile dir. Thanks everyone. Here is my current cfg.
