It has been many months since I flew a "Flight Replicas Super Cub" on FSX. Today when I chose a FRSC and flew it the plane had ghosted, meaning the airframe had all but disappeared except for a faint outline. The pilot was still visible as was some parts of the cockpit, the wheels and prop, but that's all. How do I fix this?

Hi Jethro, Thank you for those links and instructions. Before I act on them I will reinstall FSX, but, even before I do that, I need to find out how to copy my logbook to a safe folder, as recommended by 188AHC. Several years ago I had to reinstall FSX and I lost over 1,830 hours logged flight time. Since then I've accumulated 6,500 hours and I don't want to lose those hours this time. I don't know where the logbook hours are kept on my computer. Where can one find the logbook? Do you know how I can copy my FSX logbook hours to a folder? [I did mention at the start that I am not tech/I.T. savvy, nor did I grow up with computers. The DC-3, Grumman Goose, and Cessna 172 are about as hi-tech aeroplanes I fly.] Thanks

Thank you Jethro, Jim Young, and 188HC for your respective replies. It has been a challenging past 3 weeks technologically on all fronts, and I know what Gordon Ramsay [the British chef] would say, which, understandably, I cannot repeat here. . Having looked at the Event Viewer, igdumdim32.dll may not be the only influence affecting the flight sim. For several months now I haven't been able to download real time weather either. A Microsoft FSX alert tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I am. Tomorrow I will reinstall FSX Gold Edition, and in the meantime find out how to copy my logbook before reinstalling. My operating system is as follows:- Windows edition------------------- Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 & 2 System-------------------------------- Rating: 5.1 [Windows Experience Index] Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (7.69 GB usable) System type: 64-bit Operating System Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 Either way, I will let you know if this was successful. Thank you all again. Hangar7

A few months ago I found FSX not performing the way I was used to. It no longer enables real-time weather downloads from the internet. Secondly, FSX now nearly ALWAYS crashes when I try to replay a landing, or, if I need to check the weather or a radio frequency at the destination on "maps". If I were to uninstall FSX would I lose all my hours logged in my logbook, and, by re-installing, would that get rid of whatever is causing the programme to crash when I try to "replay" a landing or some other part of the flight? I am not at all "tech or I.T. savvy", so I know that doesn't help, but I'm hoping that someone out there can help me solve this annoying problem. I have since discovered when I looked in the 'Event Viewer' that the culprit causing the "Fatal Error" is Microsoft "igdumdim32.dll". I think others have been experiencing the same problem, but I have not found anyone who can fix it. Any solutions would be most welcome. Regards Hangar7
