Classic British Flight Sim

Somebody just posted this on the Tinmouse forum and I thought I'd share it. It will remove messages such as 'wings unfolding', 'tailhook extending' etc.
I haven't had time to try it myself yet but it looks easy enough:

To remove the "Wing Unfold" message (or any another messages for that matter, ie overspeed etc) first you need to get hold of a utility called Resource Hacker found here:

http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

Use this program to remove or rename the strings you wish to edit from the language.dll (Remember, backup your language.dll before starting this).

Here's how:
1. Using ResHacker.exe, open your language.dll file
2. Click on "View - Find text" and type in "tailhook"
3. Delete all the text between the quotes "", leaving the quotes there.
Example: Before: "Wings Folded" After: ""
4. Once your changes have been made, click on "Compile Script".
5. Click on File - Save and you're done. No more messages..

I'm assuming you have to restart FS? Did it in the process of flying from LXGB to EGXW, found this one rather comical!

Haha!

I wonder if it can be reverse engineered? I'd get no end of fun having that pop up at appropriate moments!

Excellent tip 591, I installed, followed the info, works like a charm, I got rid of them all.

Thanks

Heh, replace "Crash" with " There goes your no-claims!"
"Overspeed" with " Youre going to end up a smoking hole if you keep flying like that!"

Something seems to have gone wrong with those messages on my installation, and now they take up a quarter of the screen! Is there any way of editing the size or restoring it to default? I've tried reloading the fs9.cfg and starting a new flight from scratch, and it has stayed the same.

Hi Ian

Sorry this is sort of Off Topic.

I love the TinmouseII 737 but cannot find..............

A: the paintkit.
B: British Airways Red Tail livery

I will paint a few if i can find the paintkit.
World tails too maybe if i can find the details.

Rich. Those messages. Although I posted that info, I never got round to trying it myself :roll: It's not clear whether your problem has occurred since using it. If so, I would have thought that re-installing your original language.dll file should return it to default.

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. I didn't install the utility, so I'm not sure why this has happened

I'll try reinstalling the language.dll and see what happens anyway. Cheers!
