Simply put, the FSX main menu breaks the save file and stops it from loading correctly. If you set the 757 fully started as your default flight it will still break the save file. I have tested disablepreload=1 in the fsx.cfg and it did not load the save flight correctly.
So on to how to resume your saved CS 757 flight - DO NOT RUN FSX First as you need to load fsx from the save file and directly in to your flight.
For windows vista and windows 7 users, open up your "My Documents" folder then browse to and open your "Flight Simulator X Files" folder from there double click on the name you gave your saved flight for my test it was this file "757 test flight.FSSAVE".
The File you need to run will end in FSSAVE so make sure you pick the correct one for your saved flight as it will load you directly in to the flight, bypassing the FSX menu screen.
If you use windows xp.. sorry i have no idea where fsx places the save files but im sure you do :)
Before you plan a very long flight i do recommend you test this works for you by planing a short flight and saving part way in to it or by loading the 757 to an airport of your choice and fully starting and loading a flight plan in to the fmc. |
Gandy, when I double click on the fssave file all it does is open the file with wordpad and does not open the flight in fSX at all. Am I doing something wrong? I have XP. Alex Chung
