In Win 7 you will find fsx.cfg in C:\users\"you"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Nico,

Has it.

However, can I suggest two things. First, after you find your FSX.cfg file make a shortcut to it and place that on your desktop since you'll go to this file a lot. Second, if you have any icon on your desktop or in the the programs' list, you can right mouse click on the icon (either location) and then select the "Find Target" button. This will take you to that icon (file's) folder location. So, no matter where it's at, you wont have to hunt, you'll be taken right to it...

As above its in there when you open the fsx folder go to top left organize tab click folder and search options then the view tab and place a green bullet in show hidden files and folders click ok and then go to the fsx folder and the fsxcfg.txt file should be there.

Hi Guys Many thanks for the tips --found the bugger at last , seems somewhere along the line i had inadvertantly set the documents folder as hidden ?? dont know how, why or when, but thanks to the tips here and elsewhere on the web its been located at long last ( i should know better but for the life of me that had me stumped . the thing is there was already a backup copy of the cfg file where i found the orginal so i must have been there before .....go figure eh) .. relief at last -- 2nd backup created , hardcopy printed ,shortcut on desktop da dah ,. cheers guys
