The FS safe mode is the debug mode. In Safe mode FS starts with the 3D graphics off, flying with graphic rendering completely software (an eyesore). :o


Unless you're having problems with your graphics card, either use your normal starting icon or go in the FS9 folder and start the fs9.exe file directly and you'll be flying the normal, 3D accelerated mode. :)

There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

At the moment mourning the assassination of sarcasm and irony for the good of the "higher".

Can I use being at work as a excuse  :-[ :D
