Dick. I tracked down the effects package you mentioned. One look was enough for me. Some of those files look strangely familiar. As I mentioned before, I no longer trust 3rd party FX tweaks & steer well clear of them. It's just not worth the hassle. IMHO

Figured out the problem. You were correct to many aircraft. I opened the aircraft folder and counted a total of 92 aircraft folders. 3 folders contain a total of 18 aircraft. gives me a total of 100 aircraft. I  used Martin Writes Hangar. Creating sub Hangars, German, Japan, USAAC, NAVY, USMC, Bombers, stored the aircraft files into the hangars and this cured the problems.

But I like the Idea of doing multiple instals of CFS_2 Stock, CFS_2 Europe. CFS_2 Modified

There should be a way to re program CFS_2 to overcome the 100 plane limit?

Since you can use as many aircraft in CFS_1 and FS_2000 it should be possible to exceed 100 in CFS_2.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

AFTER GETTING THE AIRPLANE FOLDER REDUCED THIS HELPED A LOT.

HOW EVER AFTER RUNNING CFS_2 I WAS HAVING SOME ERROR PROBLEMS.

I REMEBERED (IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO FIND THE FILE IN THE GRAY MATTER, AGE THING/LOL)

I HAD REPLACED THE SHIP DP FILES. FORTUNATLEY I HAD SAVED THE ORIGINAL DP FILES.

I DID A COMPARRISON ON THE SHIP DP FILES AND THERE WAS A HUGE DIFFRENCE. SO I DELEATED THE MODIFIED DP FILES AND REPLACED THEM WITH THE STOCK DP FILES. NATURALLY I DELEATED THE CDP FILES AS WELL.

THIS HELPED. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE ERROR PROBLEM DOWN TO ONE.

SO I DECIDED IT HAD TO BE IN THE THIRD PARTY SCENERY FROM WHAT I YOU POSTED. 

I WENT TO CHECKING AND YES I FOUND 2 ELEVEVATED MESH FILES. I DELEATED THEM BOTH. tHIS ALSO HELPED THE FRAME RATES SINCE IT ELIMINATEWD SOME MACROS IN THE ELEVATYED MESH. I THINK THIS IS WHAT IT DID. I PICKED UP ABOUT 2 TO 5 FRAMES PER SECOND.

SHUT DOWN THE CFS_2 AND THEN BOOTED UP CFS_2.

THE SCENERY LIBRARY REWROTE THE SCENERY LIBRARY FILE (I DELEATED IT AS SUGGESTED).

THIS RESOLVED THE ERROR MESSAGE PROBLEMS.

WINDOWS XP_PRO

I HAVE (NOT INSTALLED WINDOWS XP)

I COULD DO A DUALL BOOT

IN WINDOWS XP_PRO YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE LOG INS. I HAVE ONE

I HAVE THREE 80 GIG HARD DRIVES C: HAS THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON IT. THE OTHER 2 HARD DRIVES G: FOR C:DRIVE BACK UP H: FULL SYSTEM RESTORE (ALL FILES AND FOLDERS)

I WANT TO HAVE MULTIPLE CFS_2 GAMES ON THE C:DRIVE,

CFS_2 (STOCK GAME FOR TESTING SCENERY MISSIONS ETC 

CFS_2 EUROPE

CFS_2 PACIFIC

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT YOU CREATE PARTITIONS ON THE C:DRIVE.

I WOULD PREFER NOT TO SINCE I ALREADY HAVE G AND H DRIVES. PATITIONS WOULD GIVE ME J AND K DRIVES (TALK ABOUT GETTING LOST AND OVER WORKING THE GRAY MATTER. I HAVE A HARD ENOUGH TIME KEEPING ALL THE DRIVES AND FILES STRAIT AS IT IS).

I STARTED TO INSTALL A SECOND COPY OF CFS_2 ON THE c:DRIVE

FIRST SCREEN IS UNINSTALL OR REINSTALL THE PROGRAM.

I STOPPED SINCE I DO NOT WANT TO OVER WRITE THE EXISTING CFS_2

IF I SELECT REINSTALL WILL I GET A SECOND WINDOW SO I CAN RENAME CFS_2 AND THE LOCATION?

EXISTING LOCATION.

C:/PROGRAMS/MICROSOFT GAMES/

CFS_1     CFS_2  CFS_3    FS_98     FS_2000

I WANT TO ADD THIS

C:/PROGRAMS/MICROSOFT GAMES/

CFS_2 PACIFIC CFS_2 EUROPE  CFS_2 TEST (STOCK)

THIS WILL GIVE ME 3 VERSIONS OF CFS_2

IF I CREATE A NEW USER ACCOUNT OR CREATE A PARTITION AND DO A DUAL BOOT THIS PUTS THE COMPUTER TO A STOCK CONFIGURATION ON THIS ACCOUNT OR SECOND BOOT.  I WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL DRIVERS, PROGRAMS ETC. THIS IS LIKE HAVING A DIFFRENT COMPUTER.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO TO HAVE MULTIPLE GAMES OF CFS_2

THEN I WILL DO THE SAME FOR

CFS_1 EUROPE     CFS_1 PACIFIC    CFS_1 TEST


CFS_3 EUROPE     CFS_3 PACIFIC    CFS_3 TEST


FS_2000 MOD        FS_2000 TEST


MICROSOFT TRAIN SIMULATOR STOCK

MICROSOFT TRAIN SIMULATOR  TEST

THIS COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.

WINDOWS XP
C: CFS_1

WINDOWS XP_PRO
G: CFS_2

WINDOWS XP
H:FS_2000 FS2004

WINDOWS XP
I: MISC

IM TO OLD AND SHORT ON GRAY MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU RUN OUT OF ALPHBET FOR HARD DRIVES LOL???

I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE STARTED A NEW FORUM?


THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP.
