What exactly is your problem? Might be an idea to delete the FSX.cfg and let it rebuild itself first but before you do that describe your problem so we have a better understanding of the problem.
I seem to have got rid of most since i installed more addons, but the main one i still have can be seen below

Have you installed any scenery addons that require extra files, for example ORBX scenery you need their library files too. It looks to me like you're missing some type of tree texture.
Soldato
Certainly looks that way, i had exactly the same issue with most of the autogen trees and lights turning into black squares before i used the DX10 fixer.
Yes i have chosen the Dx10 option in options. I have tried to dl that DX10 fix, but i cant find a link for it any more?
Also had a few more since

I can't help you with DX10 issues I'm afraid Litmoose. I use DX9 along with (I re-installed yesterday as I hadn't since I did a clean install of FSX recenty) the ENB mod and shader 3.0 mod to get the results I want.
If you continue having issues I'd recommend doing that, especially as you have an ATI card which is meant to see good performance gains with the shader modification.

Is it worth buying the steam version over the disk version, which i've already got?
Soldato
Not really. There's some bug fixes included with it and it comes with the prospect of more updates (unlikely).
Is anyone else here still playing FS9? I just found my discs again so I'm installing to see how it compares these days to FSX.

If it goes on sale again then its defo worth it for the reasons above.
I still picked it up for a couple of quid just to see what happens with it, even though I'm now a P3d convert

Today, after re-installing CumulusX and downloading a few new gliders, I had a nice flight soaring around the island of Hawaii. I think the scenery is all Aerosoft stuff but the glider is freeware. Not the best I have but the ASW22B is an awesome x-country glider.
Here are a few shots of a Minimoa that I took whilst flying in Germany at Aerosofts free Wasserkroupe scenery. The minimoa stands out to me as I remember making balsa-wood chuck gliders of it in my younger days.

Hi guys,
Just wondered whether we had any flight-simmers in the Liverpool-Manchester area who'd be interested in taking a set of Saitek Pro-flight rudder pedals and X-52 HOTAS off my hands? I'm having a bit of a sort out as I'm about to complete on a flat I'm buying, and won't have anywhere to store these going forward. Thus, I was just going to throw them out, as I don't even have a gaming PC anymore (and nor will I ever again I think), but thought it'd be a shame, and that it'd better to see if anyone here would rather have them before I did.
Apologies for the massively oversized image, posted it from my iPad, and can't see a way to resize!
Admittedly, they've been in the loft for the past few years just gathering dust as I no longer have the packaging, but I did plug them into my laptop, and they powered up, were recognised by Windows, but I can't guarantee what they'd work like in game, as I have no games to test them on. Thus, I ask nothing for them, they're free to a good home. I just felt it would be better that someone else enjoyed them instead of them just going to landfill.
Naturally I'd prefer that someone collected them, as I'd rather avoid the hassle of finding a right sized box etc, but if anyone's interested, please feel free to drop me a line through Trust.
Cheers, Mike

Does anyone here have any experience in making addons and how to publish them?
I downloaded a new AFCAD/BGL to make VHHH more accurate in FSX, but I've been working on it to improve it (stuff like taxiways widths, locations, etc). I know I need to contact the original author and get their permission before I share it anywhere, but after I have that? Where is good to upload it? Another option of course is to apply only my changes to the stock airport and upload that?
I know there's decent payware addons but not everyone can afford them, and the default FSX buildings for VHHH aren't too bad.

Well done on supporting the community.
As for uploading it, if you had some webspace, you could start a single page site that contains these changes.
Put some ads on it too for some pennies when people view the site.
You may want to see if there's any Virtual Airlines that use HKG that could host the file and credit you.

Thanks.
I was thinking more about one of the big sites? FlightSim.com, Avsim?
I've started flying for FTG for Cathay Pacific/Dragonair so I'll probably end up doing all of the airports that I fly to in time, availability of charts, etc.

Loving the Steam Edition right now. Flew with the PMDG 777 from UK2000 Glasgow to UK2000 Heathrow, over FTX Scotland & England with all my sliders to the right without an OOM. Before I would have gotten an OOM on the climb out from Glasgow on that flight! I've got the bug for FSX back now. Next step is to buy the DX10 fixer and get that up and running.
Does anyone have any controller recommendations? I'm looking to go back to a normal joystick + throttle without spending a large amount, preferably less than £100. Right now I have a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke which is awesome, but I have hard mounted Fanatec pedals in my cockpit for the racing sim, so I basically have no rudder. The only way to use the pedals as a rudder is to run Windows in Test Mode/Unsigned (whatever it's called), with pPJoy & Glovepie running to combine the clutch and throttle into 1 axis, which is really just not worth the aggro. You can imagine trying to take off in the 777 when it's a little windy without a rudder to keep me fairly centred on the runway...
Maybe not allowed to post this here either, but anyone around Central Scotland want a cheap Pro Flight Yoke? Would be a pain to ship so if anyone local wants it I'll give it at a good price to a good home. I'll throw it on the MM shortly.
