Things that can make your day go quickly downhill..

I've spent the last two days getting FSX reinstalled, updated and reconfigured. Still not sure what happened but something got majorly corrupted and it went from smooth and fast to slideshow choppy, as well as missing a large number of textures (which were still there, just not loading and displaying). I had forgotten just how much I'd added into it since the last time I installed it. Basically every World of AI package, tons of add-on airports, aircraft, sounds, etc. had to be reinstalled. Not sure I got everything 100% just yet but at least my HS748 fleet is working. BTW, speaking of the 748 in FSX, does it use the same textures as the FS9 version? Would like to get all the CBFS fleet installed if it will.

E-gads Robbie.. that was one HELL of a day

Barry.. I feared having to go through what you've just done but thankfully, that wasn't the case. As for the 748.. yes, the 748 in FSX is exactly the same as the 748 in FS9. The only difference with the FSX installer version is that Rick modified it to put some common textures into the right place for FSX to display them (they went into the main texture folder in FS9 but have to go into each aircraft texture folder in FSX)

Great! That means I can move my textures over! I'm still not 100% sure FSX is back to normal, though. Tried twice to do the third TR flight, first time the starboard engine shut down and wouldn't relight, second time the port engine had a nacelle fire that wouldn't extinguish. Since I was still making sure FSX is sorted out I aborted both times. Tried the flight in FS2004 and it went off perfectly. Whether it was something FSA threw at me or a glitch in FSX I don't know.

GAH!! I hate computers sometimes.
