Simviation Forums

ive been playing fsx for a while then suddenly yday when i try loading it, it just stops responding everytime so i cannot get onto it. i tried uninstalling everything and re-installing and got the same problem. after looking around on the net ive seen its usually the logbook error. but i dont seem to have one (maybe coz i reinstalled it and havnt flown yet?) im using vista but ive tried C:, users, username, documents ( then theres no microsoft flight sim folder). ive also gone into C: microsoft games: microsoft flight simulator and gone through every folder in flight sim and cant find it . can anyone help me get it to work?

That is where your Logbook BIN file should be...................try going to User Name/App Data/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX. If there's a FSX folder, make a back up of the folder and put it on your desktop or somewhere where you'll remember. Then delete the entire folder and  re-install FSX. It will rebuild this folder and hopefully FSX will then run. If so, delete the back up you made.....it most likely had a corrupted Cfg file.

I hope this helps you.........if not there are others here that know much much more than I do and they will definately know what to do

i dont even have the app data folder

Which OS are you using? In WinXP the path is C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

This should be in the same location as fsx.cfg.

im using vista. the location for my fsx files is C: programme files, microsoft games, microsoft flight simulator.

thats the only files i can find. cant find fsx.cfg either

its working , dont ask how lol.

The reason you can't find App Data is because by default it is hidden. Go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization & click on folder options. A popup will appear, click on view, scroll down & there will be a box called hidden files & folders. Put a tick in the box called show hidden files & folders. Now App Data will be there.
