The reason I resseted my fsx.cfg at the time was because I used the bojote tool at the time and wasn't satisfied with the result. FSX worked but I got invisible AI because of the tweaks. I wanted to get it back to normal and I let FSX rebuild it..... after that rebuild FSX wouldn't start up. Are you suggesting Im lying?
No, I obviously haven't said you are a liar. You are just wrong. The rebuild, by itself, can't cause FSX to not start up, the problem was something else, but it's difficult to say without checking the situation.
As I've said, you might have installed other add-ons that need their own lines in the FSX.CFG to work so, after a rebuild, you should have reinstalled those add-ons too. Another possible cause could be a problem with the default startup situation, or the airplane. For example, if your default Ultralight had a problem that you never noticed because you don't use it, rebuilding the FSX.CFG (which defaults with the Ultralight loaded) would cause FSX not starting up, so you were mislead the problem was the FSX.CFG reset, when if fact the problem was the Ultralight, and of course this could be easily fixed by editing the FSX.CFG to load a different startup flight.
Just to give you some example of possible causes of FSX not starting up after the FSX.CFG rebuild, that one could be associated with the rebuild itself, but they aren't.
In any case, the transparent AIs problem would have been fixed by simply turning off the "Airplane Cast Shadows on Ground" option. The Bojote tool probably enabled it when you had it off originally, so you were mislead it was the Bojote tool that made your AI to disappear, when in fact the problem is that you were using AIs made for FS9 (that are also slower than native FSX models), and they disappear when used on an airport with custom runway lights/textures IF Airplanes shadows on ground are On.
I have attached my FSX.cfg...
There's nothing unusual in it, it's not much different that one you would get by resetting it...
Now, try the following:
- Since you have GSX, open the "GSX - Settings" menu, select the Troubleshooting section, and enable Logging.
- Exit from FSX
- Start FSX again, go to CYVR and let the black objects appear.
- Exit from FSX, and check the following files:
%APPDATA%\Virtuali\Couatl.LOG
%APPDATA%\Virtuali\Couatl.ERR
And post them both. You might not have a Couatl.ERR file, but at least the .LOG file should be there.
