Weird Cockpit problem :(

Postby chainz » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:10 am

Hey Guys. Something weird happened.

I think I might have accidently moved the cockpit panel, Like I mean dragged it up or something and now it's black and I cant get it back. Weird thing is though it only is like this in Fullsceen mode. It only started happening today. Have you ever heard of this? It's not my gfx card drivers or anything.

Is the whole screen black or just where the panel is and is it all aircraft?............commoner

It's all aircraft.

This is what it looks like.

Right click and click one of the window options...is this a default aircraft?

If this is a default plane, this remembers me of a graphic problem I had once when I first installed FS9, almost 2 years ago now. At the time it was the video card's drivers fault that were not totally compatible with the then newly minted FS9.

More specifically this problem was caused by the anti-aliasing activated in the video card system tab, and it went away if I deactivated it. Though the video quality worsened greatly, doing so made the panel reappear.

Try installing a newer video drivers version and/or reinstalling the DirectX.

There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

When something happens which affects all aircraft or the sim as a whole I usually try a new fs9.cfg before going any further.................just delete the fs9.cfg and then restart the sim to get a nice shiny new one...........if you tweaked it for any reason you might have to do the tweaks again..............commoner ;)

BTW..... if you can't find it and are using Windows XP then the path is like this......C/Documents and Settings/Owner/Application Data/Microsoft/FS9.
