On a new machine now.  Re-installing fs2004 from the ground up.  So for some aircraft I need to put the old SOUND.dll into the modlues folder.

Then I need to do something in the fs9.cfg file so that fs2004 does not hiccup at having that old sound dll in there.

Something like "OldSound=1" or something like that.

Can't remember what gets added....or where exactly it goes.

HELP!  Offical "Senior Moment".

Hi John,

I think you mean FSSound.dll. Just add FSSound.dll=1 to your FS9.cfg and it should work.

DUH!

I used to know that one like the back of my hand.  Can't believe that I could not for the life of me remember that.

THANKS guys.

I also lost a scad of my custom aircraft setup in a computer virus crash.  Unfortunately not everything was as backed up as it should have been.  I thought it was... but it wan't. 

The last time I installed fs2004 .... god was a kid  .

Fozzer,

I really am.  It is a combination of familiarity, a HUGE investment in payware for it, and the work and $ on the simpit that would have to be undertaken to change over to "The X".

I cannot believe what a different experience fs2004 is on a machine like this.  It is like having a new sim.

Will I eventually go to FSX?  Likely........ because time marches on.  We are not all flying fs98 anymore  .  But to get it where I'd want it when I make the leap....... I'd want it to BE a "leap".  SO the level of payware added to it would require a trip to Fort Knox  .

So fs2004 is in my future for a while.  I still have to discover all that they crammed in that version of the sim before I move on.

John, if you know someone who has a computer which they'd allow you to pop your hard drive in with all the essential information etc do a full virus/spyware/malware scan on the files and i'm sure that you'll find that a lot of the data is restorable...

Perhaps someone local to you on here could help with that??

Nemo,

I am eventually planning on that using a commercial service. (There was one piece of IMPORTANT business data on there.)  But it appears that the drive was REALLY screwed and might not be all that recoverable.  The C drive from the mashine might still have saveable data.... and there are a few things there I'd want.

Appreciate the thought.

I'm still a rank amateur with flight sim but I also prefer FS9 over FSX. Only complaint I have is the scenery in FS9. I bought the aussie Real Environment X for FS9 thinking iit was scenery enhancement. It was not. Skies, oceans etc but not scenery. Now I have beautiful skies and poor scenery, even though I have Flight One's ground environment and another payware called FScene in  FS
9. Is there any combination of scenery addons you guys could recommend for FS9? Incidentally, REX is sensational.
