Simviation Forums

I've got a problem.  The aircraft I had selected to load when I loaded the game somehow got corrupted and now the game won't load because it says I have an aircraft initialization failure.  I tried reloading the aircraft but apparently it's not exactly the same one cause I still get the error message.  I looked in program files in the FS9 folder trying to find where the aircraft is saved thinking I could change it, but I couldn't find it.  My next (radical) solution was to uninstall and re-install the game but I don't want to erase all the files so it just comes up the same way.
Can someone tell me where to find this so I can change the aircraft to something else that will let me load the game?

Hi,

just delete your FS9.cfg and then start your sim. It will reset most settings including the default aircraft. FS9.cfg can be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9. All add-ons will stay as they were so don't worry about that.

Good luck,

That did it.  Thanks for the quick answer.

A less destructive way to do it is to edit

Thanks, Dave. I got to remember that one. Great advice.

Great advice but just a bit too late  :D  I'll file it for the next time tho.  Thanks everyone.
