Hello

 

I don't know how this has happened but the FSX start screen (the one where you choose your flight/aircraft/time and season etc) has disappeared!

 

When I start FSX now the splash screen appears and then FS loads and starts at my default flight.

 

Any ideas what may have happened and how I can rectify this issue?

 

Thanks

There's an option that allows you to skip the start screen. I'm not sure where exactly to find it and I can't check right now, but IIRC it should be accessible via the settings in the sim.

Thank you I'll have a look and post my findings.

That's the one, Charlie. Thanks a lot for helping me out! B)

Hi

 

Thanks,I know what I've done now after seeing your screenshot, only problem is this window doesn't appear when FS loads!

But it should be accessibele from within the Simlator, I believe somehwere under the options menu.

Hi

 

Sorry I misunderstood you. I'll have a look now.

 

Thank you

I saw something to do with not being able to access the start screen and it had to do with the

 

order of things in the FSX.cfg file under [Main].  I think it had to do with(location=) position.

 

[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
Maximized=1
Location=0,0,1280,768,\\.\DISPLAY1
HideInfotext=0
HideMenuNormal=1
HideMenuFullscreen=1
Fiber_Frame_Fraction=0.5
ProcSpeed=3816
PerfBucket=5
 

While flying, on the menu bar, go to Options-Settings-General- choose "show opening screen".

Issue resolved simply by selecting the 'show opening screen' as suggested earlier so thank you all for your help. That's another issue ticked off the list!

 

Thanks
