How to remove annoying messages
Somebody just posted this on the Tinmouse forum and I thought I'd share it. It will remove messages such as 'wings unfolding', 'tailhook extending' etc.
I haven't had time to try it myself yet but it looks easy enough:
To remove the "Wing Unfold" message (or any another messages for that matter, ie overspeed etc) first you need to get hold of a utility called Resource Hacker found here:
http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/
Use this program to remove or rename the strings you wish to edit from the language.dll (Remember, backup your language.dll before starting this).
Here's how:
1. Using ResHacker.exe, open your language.dll file
2. Click on "View - Find text" and type in "tailhook"
3. Delete all the text between the quotes "", leaving the quotes there.
Example: Before: "Wings Folded" After: ""
4. Once your changes have been made, click on "Compile Script".
5. Click on File - Save and you're done. No more messages..

I wonder if it can be reverse engineered? I'd get no end of fun having that pop up at appropriate moments!

Rich. Those messages. Although I posted that info, I never got round to trying it myself :roll: It's not clear whether your problem has occurred since using it. If so, I would have thought that re-installing your original language.dll file should return it to default.

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. I didn't install the utility, so I'm not sure why this has happenedspeedbird591 wrote:Rich. Those messages.

I'll try reinstalling the language.dll and see what happens anyway. Cheers!
