There is NO SUCH FILE, as fsx.cfg. I had
the Windows search utility look for the file,
and it does not exist. So for anyone looking
for fsx.cfg, I am sorry to say it does not exist.

Charles, In the demo it can be found here, where "Jim" is the name of the user. Maybe it is similarly placed in the full version?

But why did the file search in Windows XP not show it? I figure Microsoft must not want you to muck with the file if it does not show up in any file search. >> Stay informed about: There is no such file as fsx.cfg

Application Data is set as a hidden folder in your Documents and Settings folder, to keep people from mucking about with what are supposed to be important files. Of course, just like every other file structure Microsoft has put in place, developers misuse it all the time. In any case, check under "More advanced options" and check to search in hidden files and folders. Dollars to donuts it'll show up.

Uh, yup, it does, otherwise FSX couldn't run. Make sure to tick the radio button to display hidden files and folders under Tools, Folder Options, View tab. Also, adjust your Search parameters to include hidden and system files.

It appears that Microsoft has hidden the file such that a search cannot find it in a normal serach. >> Stay informed about: There is no such file as fsx.cfg

Hi Ian, Well said, mate. This sort of posting adds a whole lot of weight to Beech45's warnings about Mxsmanic, which I've personally investigated today. Peter wasn't wrong.
