CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying sim.cfg to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Flight Simulator X demo 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 sim.cfg and all other CFG files for Flight Simulator X demo. An incorrectly installed CFG file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
