Just completed my final attempt to get this copy of FS9 going (complete manual uninstall - security off install - the whole nine yards). Had I not downloaded the FSX demo and discovered my card was fine and the demo played fine, I'd probably continue to flail away. Will now spring for a new copy of 'nine' and, if that don't get it, it'll be time for plan B which is still in planning

Hmm Plan B often works well for me Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I am not an nVidia user, so this may be way off base.

I remember reading somewhere that nVidia cards, might be just nHancer, come preloaded with FS9 profiles.

I also remember reading that the preloaded profile is best deleted, and rebuilt from scratch.

Don't know if this would help, and can't recall it being mentioned in your other topics.

Hope this helps,
Joe

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I just sprung for a copy of FSX. I doubt my system will be able to run it at any where near where my FS9 is right now, but its been nagging at me for weeks to go buy a copy.

I've got fingers crossed i can make some thing half decent from it though, might be a good plan B Wink

After downloading the demo, my heart rate rose but a couple of reminders, from those more prudent, brought me back. From what I've read here and elsewhere, it takes a wealth of hardware to make this thing perform and, since I'm loathe to part with wealth, my FS status will remain quo. Tell us how it performs for you - for comparison, I'm using an Intel dual core E6300 2.8/Biostar G31E-M7 mobo/8800GTS card/4G Crucial DDR2- 800 Ram/Antec 650W - all in an Antec 900 case.

After lots of to and froing with different drivers, I discovered my card is fine. I think you're correct about Nhancer and the profile capability - perhaps RivaTuner also.

The "bible" for setting up FSX is in NickN's sticky thread at the top of the FSX forum section.

Sure, will do. I don't think our systems are too different, your's might have the edge infact. I'll let you know how i get on.
