FSX.CFG

[Bubblehead]

I knew the path to get to the "fsx.cfg" when I had WinXP as my OS but now I've got Win7 64 bit and reloaded FSX and Acceleration. What is the path to get to FSX.cfg now that I got Win7? Thanks.

Hiya,
While I don't have my home computer in front of me, I believe it's this:

Start -> Your Name -> AppData -> Roaming -> Microsoft -> FSX -> FSX.CFG

If anyone reads this and I'm incorrect, please correct me.

I hope this helps ya!

You are nearly perfect Buzz
He needs to turn on hidden files also tho.

Start -> Your Name -> AppData -> Roaming -> Microsoft -> FSX -> FSX.CFG If anyone reads this and I'm incorrect, please correct me.

Wouldn't say yours is incorrect...
However I checked and started from the C:\ >

C:\ -> Users -> your name -> app data -> roaming -> Microsoft -> FSX -> FSX.CFG

I just DL'd the ConfigEdit.exe and let IT find the .cfg file for me

Otherwise I wind up having to do a "Search" on C drive for it, and that takes about 1/2 of forever, and I am a lazy sod....

Oops! Right Bass- I forgot about the hidden files thingy!

Bubblehead - do you know how to "Show hidden files?"
Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files, folders, and drives (click the radio button).
Hope this helps!

Grumpy tip of the day. When you find fsx.cfg create a shortcut to it & paste it onto your Desktop.

OMG.. does no-one know how to use Windows desktop search?
Anyhow... 'Show Hidden Files' is normally one of the first things to do when getting a PC. You gotta know whats happening with your software, etc.

Get a copy of 'Everything' from http://www.voidtools.com/
This is THE best desktop search engine out there. Super quick & will let you find your fsx.cfg in a jiffy!

BTW also get 'Teracopy' -- extremely fast copy utility.. useful when copying/moving big files.

There is also a W7 "God Mode" ..

1. Copy this folder NAME to your clipboard: > {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
2. Make/create a new folder on your desktop. (Directly on the desktop -> Right click -> New -> Folder )
3. RENAME this folder to the new name. (Right click-> Rename -> Paste)

Whoops, all of a sudden it changes to:



This will help you find those obscure settings very quickly...down the list...and it is safe..

Got it! My problem was I couldn't get to the "appdata" because it was hidden. After I went to the hidden files and clicked it to show, I had no problem getting to the the fsx.cfg. Thanks.

We now have access to ALL of your files now, Bubble.... ...!

Great tip Sprocket! Only the name must be:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
