I seem to have lost the red text that indicates parking brakes, brakes, slew, and over speed. Here is what I have in the FSX cfg.

InfoBrakesEnable=True
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True
InfoPauseEnable=True
InfoSlewEnable=True
InfoStallEnable=True
InfoOverspeedEnable=True

I changed it to false...nothing...changed it back...nothing...

any Ideas?

Check the [Main] section for;

HideInfoText=

0 (the default) displays 'red' text
1 hides all 'red' text.

That text was not in the cfg file so I added it..saved it....nothing...ugh

Insert FSX disc "click" on repair see what happens can hurt

Did you save the changes and restart FSX
If not than you will not see any change> any time you make a change to the FSX cfg file you must save it than restart FSX in order to see any difference.

I agree, using the fsx repair would do more harm than good in this situation.
You should save your fsx.cfg in a different folder.
Than delete the cfg. from the C:\Users\ ( You )\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX folder
Fire up the sim, it will write a new cfg. If all is good, than just copy and paste from your saved cfg any mods you made.

Well, I ended up removing the FSX.CFG and building a new one. Thanks for the help
