Alright, so apparently I've got a bit of a problem. I had a weird thing happen today with FS9 while compiling a scenery model with FSDS. Long story short, this is the message I now get when trying to boot up FS9. I've tried starting via one of the .FLT files with the same bad results.
Just wondering if anyone here has had this happen and knows where to look for the corrupted file.
I'm coping my entire backup copy which is thankfully only a week old, into the original folder overnight tonight. Since it takes a couple hours, I'll have to check the results in the morning.
But assuming that doesn't fix the issue, anyone have any ideas short of re-installing?
The download hangar is currently disabled. We're doing our best to bring it back as soon as possible.
FS9 Problem, can you help?

Hmmmm no idea Mike. Isnt it just lovely when FS wont start and you dont know why. Have you renamed an aircraft recently that was in your default flight. Saying that though opening up via another flight should work.
Strange. Re-Install might be the way forward. You could always try resetting your FS9.cfg, or deleting it, the settings would reset to default then.

Mike,
Look in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Flights\other and see if the file FLTSIM.FLT is there, which is the default flight. If you find the file where it should be, then it's possibly corrupted. Open the file with notepad and replace all with the following. It's from my file which still works.
This should be the solution to your problem.

Sounds like maybe your registry entry for fltsim maybe corrupt. There are various freeware tools that will check and fix it.

Nick and Rysiek's solution was the winner, and the only one that worked.
I tried each one to no avail, the only thing that worked was deleting the FS9.CFG file and letting FS9 rebuild a new one.
I didn't even know you could do that. Still learning something new every day. You never stop learning.
Thanks again for everyone's help, you saved me a ton of work.
