What are option.cfg Error Messages?


General option.cfg Runtime Errors

option.cfg file errors often occur during the startup phase of YS Flight Simulator, but can also occur while the program is running. These types CFG errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while YS Flight Simulator is running. Here are some of the most common option.cfg runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\YsflightForWindows_R8366\Ysflight\config\option.cfg

Most CFG errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your option.cfg file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with YS Flight Simulator), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, option.cfg file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading YS Flight Simulator, system crash while loading or saving option.cfg, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download option.cfg Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying option.cfg to your appropriate Windows system directory. YSFlight typically does not release YS Flight Simulator CFG files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing option.cfg and all other CFG files for YS Flight Simulator. An incorrectly installed CFG file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
