Stealth .DLL

I may have hit on something related to this problem - if you're running FS9, you've had this happen - when you land, if you remain on the runway too long to suit ATC's liking, it will start advising you to "exit runway when able" or "turn next taxiway," but since installing something in the very recent past, I now get ATC giving me wind and landing permission, but once I'm on the ground they stay respectfully (or malevolently) quiet until I'm off the runway. Also - I step-climb my propliners in 2,000 ft intervals to save the engines. In the past ATC has nagged me to "expedite (my) climb to xxxthousand;" I no longer hear this, either. This has to be a change to the ATC.DLL, which could be pointing to what I need to change back.

Also - this happened today at Chengdu, in China:

A quick pan around the aircraft fixed it. This was on landing rollout, and I suspect it has to do with the aircraft rapidly covering scenery/ground the video card can't keep up with.
 
As far as what the 9.1 update changes, there were initially some complaints (if I can remember back almost a decade) about memory leaks and other performance issues. There were also also several bridges that were quite conspicuously missing from the scenery library. The performance issues were addressed and the bridges added. After you run the update, you can see exactly what was replaced by peeking into the Backup folder. There's copies of the original exe, 32 dll's, the generic.bgl from Scenery\Generic\Scenery, and the display.cfg from the main folder. There's also an "unpatch.bak" which you can open with Notepad. It's actually a batch file that will restore the Sim back to its original state if you change the .bak to .bat and then run it.
 
Thanks for the info! I'll put your info in a .txt document, then include it in the FS9 folder for reference.:salute:
 
not going to go there

I checked my backup file and it only has the unpatch bak in it, no other files. I also have the bridge shaped uninstaller and in the help file it says version 9.1 ,and also on the properties of the exe it says 9.1 I have bridges where I didn't before and the sim runs ok apart from the occasional usual glitch.
Enough said about this as I don't want to go as to way I don't have the other files in the backup file.
