Author Re install problems

Hello, please can anyone suggest a way forward:

I have been running FS2004, with lots of downloaded planes etc, it started
to get a bit slow so I decided on an uninstall and re install the whole
sim.

Now having reinstalled, when I go to run the simulator, I get the splash
screen and a message " Aircraft Initialisation failure, Tiger Moth F4",
which I presume is a legacy of my previous set up. The only option is a
"close" button after which FS2004 shuts down

There is no sign of a Tiger Moth in any of the folders...

I have now un installed and re-installed 3 times, every time I get the
same!!

Any suggestions welcome!

Thank You


Colin Bear

Your default flight is set up with the Tiger Moth. You need to add the
Tiger Moth back to your FS9/aircraft/ folder so that the program can find
it when it starts. Then you can change the default flight to use a
different aircraft.

Or you can re-enable the startup menu screen, and create a new flight with a
default aircraft, then save it as the default flight.

as above or delete the fs9.cfg file and let it re-build on startup

The old one must still be in place. Since it's a new install I would
advise deleting all traces of it.

Enable "hidden files/folders" etc and search for "fs9.cfg"

Will be some thing like...........
C\Documents and settings\User name\Aplication Data\Microsoft\FS9
