Have you seen this FSX / FS9 conflict?

[remilton]

I had the FSX demo installed on my WINXP system along with my FS9 a while back. I have since uninstalled the FSX demo because of an issue I had with loading saved flights in FS9.

Instead of loading the saved custom flight, I would get the default FS9 flight. You know, Cessna at Seattle. After uninstalling FSX, my saved flights worked once again. A definite clue to the problem was that all the icons for saved flights displayed an FSX image.

This sounds to me like a registry problem. FS9 saved flights are saved in "C:\Documents and Settings\...\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files" and I am wondering what directory the FSX saved flight are stored in.

Bottom line: has anyone else experienced this with the demo or full install of FSX?

Not sure, I have them both on my computer, but since I got FSX, I havent loaded up FS9. As soon as most of my addons are compatable with FSX, I will uninstall FS9, or put it on my daughters computer so she can fly. But I will try for you when I get home from work tonight.

No problems here. Had demo1 and FS9 on the same system in their default directories. Could fly either without problems. Saved flights in fs9 were just fine. Uninstalled the demo and all is still well with FS9.

The FSX flights are stored in My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files.

I guess I will just assume for now that it was some sort of install glitch. Thanks for the replies.
