fed up with the fsx intro splash photo? then change it

I cant see that this has been covered before, if it has excuse me.

 

but if you are wanting to change the fsx splash page , as fsx fires up,

 

simply go into the Uires folder  find the file dlgsplash.bmp , rename it , and replace it with any 800x600 photo that you want just call it dlgsplash.bmp

 

Simples!

Thanks for that Nigel.

I'm always to looking to change default stuff.

I have a utility for FS9 that will randomly put up a different splash screen each time.  You point it at a folder that contains any number of 800 X 600 jpgs and it will randomly pick one at each startup.  It's very cool but only works for FS9.  

 

I suppose a batch file process of some kind to pick a photo at random, create an appropriately named copy and then fire off FSX could be done.

Nice example BF, it almost fools me into thinking FSX is a modern product!

Thanks Nigel, I'd heard of that before but it's nice to be reminded.
