Anyone know how to turn off or disable "auto save" on FS2004? For some reason after every flight now, there are three or four segments of my last flight saved as auto saved flights showing up in the "select a flight" list. Is this a function of FS or ACARS? This and several other issues have occurred for some unknown reason to FS2004 which I have had installed on this computer for about six years now. I am trying to not resort to a uninstall / reinstall and loose everything, but it looks like it may come to that. frown

I also have FSX on this machine but I don't use it much as it has a nasty habit of freezing and or crashing right in the middle of a flight.

Hi Gary,
Probably you have installed "autosave" in your FS9. If so you will find a file named "autosave.cfg" in your main FS9-folder and a file named "autosave.dll" in your modules-folder.
If you want to get rid of this feature delete these two files and you are done. If maybe the file "autosave.cfg" (which is the configuration for the autosave.dll) is missing, this might cause some problems.
Good luck.

Ok I deleted those two files, just finished a flight and no auto saved flights showing up. Thank you Andreas very much for the info.
