Hi
I am not a technical master or an engeneer, but reading on another site about that FSX miss some files or some files are in the wrong position, make me thinking to give a try and start Filemon with a filter that permitt only that FSX.exe is checked..
well after start filemon and start FSX, without starting any flight, only the GUI of the setting and close.
The log of file mon show A LOT of files not found,all inside the default installation folder of FSX.
Some of them:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe.Manifest NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: 001200A9
\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\VEH_Air_TransBus_Euro_Silver_sm.CAB NOT FOUND Attributes: Error
Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\VEH_Air_FireTruck_US_Red_sm\texture.CAB NOT FOUND Attributes: Error
these are only few of the files, other are related also to the textures forlder or dll missed.
As i said i am not an expert and i am reporting what expert are telling about, and is that these missed files are the couse of the long time loading of the sim, probably they are not arming the performance intented fps or smoothness of the game...but they could be..
I hope that the new coming patch, will fix this, for the benefit of all of us.
I hope that someone else can test this, with a knowledge bigger than mine...
Someone can explain this kind of issue,and if is possible to fix this, even this will be very long and maybe not for all the users...
Cheers
Stefano
