In peoples signatures there are pictures that you can click on go to thier website. It's a hyperlinked picture. How do I do that? I have a picture that I want to use so when people click on it goes to my twitter page. Thanks

PS I didn't know where else to post it so I posted it here.

You can resize the pic in most graphics editing software. IrfanView is a very popular free graphics editor. http://www.irfanview.com/

Hello, This is my first time on this forum section. I believe
I could ask ?ns here! Well I think I have a big dilema. My
knowledge on computers is low, Im still learning. Well Im
actually doing this for my son, Hes 11 yrs. of age. Anyways
5 months ago I bought him a FSX Golden Edition. Well the boy is now curious on how to install textures of civil airliners.
The boy has tryed so hard on following the instructions they
gave him on youtube and so have I, I dont know what might
be the problem, but now I think we are worst off then when
we initially started. Now my son is saying Ived lost some
sort of file that contains plains. I might of, I dont know what
the hell im doing. Im starting to get a headake. IS there someone out there that could help us. Sad

We downloaded the cival plains, but cant seem to paste
it into the FSX game. My comp. is not letting me,something
about my disk being to full. What disk?

Hi bigchris. Welcome to the forum. If you would like to give us an example of a texture you wish to install I'm sure someone can walk you through it. We would need the file name/description & the page it's posted on so we can download it to check it out.

If you suspect that you deleted default files by mistake I believe that FSX has a Repair option. Wait for someone more knowledgeable than me with FSX to advise on this one.

PS. Always take a backup copy of any files before attempting to edit or modify them.

Yes, If you could look on simviation/FSX/civil jets/ Then is gives you some choices on the commercial airliners. Thank You! My bad, Look under downloads.

It would be much easier if you choose one you've had problems with. Then tell us the file description & page number it's posted on.

Make sure you're pasting those files to the correct location. It sounds like you might be trying to install them to the FSX DVD which is not possible.
The default location for FSX is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
