Open root folder and double click on the FSX executable. That should start FSX. If that works, then create a new FSX icon on your desktop.
Hope this helps.

Sorry. Boxed.

Hello all:
Recently I have noticed that some add ons are having trouble finding my FSX installation. I have FSX installed in C/FSX. I am running Win 7 Pro 64. When I run some add ons (F1GTN cfg is...

Better is the enemy of good enough.......is it an aviation simulator, or a scenery simulator?

Better is the enemy of good enough! There are all sorts of interests in flightsim. Some guys like to build new computers and spend time tweaking their hardware and software for performance. Some guys...

This occcurs occasionally on my system also. I recognize it immediately when I boot the system. I then right click on the screen and open nVidia Control Panel. There is one page in that which returns...

Yeah, thanks Wim. As I said, I didn't expect it to be an original idea. On the other hand, I don't see the need for an application for this. It is trivially simple.

Hi all:
I just wanted to pass along a tweak for FSX that is really very effective in controlling VAS and eliminating stutters. I'm sure I have read this elsewhere so I do not claim to be the...

Little Nav Map can help with this....

Hi Col:
Interesting. Do you mean that the condition of the fans affected FSX and cleaning them fixed it? Actually, I am due for a cleaning of the cases.
Thanks

Ha! I remember sitting on the runway at PHL in seat 1D and looking out the window and seeing a similar show, wondering whether we were really going to go or not.....we went and all was well...

Hi Jethro:
Well, I've been looking at all my hardware and can't find anything broken. I have watched the task manager panes and my memory use, cpu use, and GPU use all look reasonable. I have been...

Hi TG:
Thank you for your thoughts. I suspect you are correct on the WX update, as I wrote above to Jethro. I need to research this further as I am not real sure what AS 16 is doing behind my back,...

Hi Jethro:
Well, thank you so much for taking the time to respond so fully! You have given me a ton of stuff to think about.

Hi all:
I didn't know where to post this issue, but it looks more like a problem for this forum than any other. My rig is as follows:

Hi Max:
Thanks for your response. I will follow up and take a look at the Orbx stuff for that area. I did try out the Orbx global coverage a few years back and it did not end well once I decided to...

Hi all:
Well, after 20 some odd years of simming I never explored the Pacific, including the tropical islands, Australia, New Zealand, the island nations between Australia and Japan, and Japan...

Thanks Mark & Tim.I didn't answer immediately as I was waiting to see if anyone else would weigh in with an opinion.
I have seen an improvement by experimenting with Mipbias=3,,4, or 5 in FSX.cfg. I...

Hi all:
The twinkling of autogen trees is really annoying me. At altitude it is not an issue but in descent or approach, they twinkle. When stationary on the ramp there is no twinkling. But as soon...

I do check the arrival airport freqs just to be sure when I start my descent. It does happen that they are different for the ILS in FSX than is shown in an add on, which will be more recent. Just go...

I'm curious as to why you are running both GEX and Orbx? They do the same thing. Could there be a conflict in there?

Yes, I agree completely.. I looked at both of them and decided not for me. Next I'll look at PMDG T7.
Thanks
Rick

Thanks Mallcott and Dogdish. I went ahead and purchased the Level-D as I had a deep discount since I owned the FS2004 version. I just don't think I can go back there after PMDG and other modern...
