Now what's the problem?

Just now I noticed that when I go from any other view to the 2D cockpit, I lose the bottom half (I can see out the windscreen, but the instruments are not there) and in its stead is the Spot Plane view. What is causing this?

[Sytse]

Is that happening in all your aircraft, ot just in a particular one?

[WebbPA]

Which key are you pressing to do this?

W - Cycles between 2D panel, minipanel and no panel, and

S  - Cycles betweeen 2D panel, VC, tower view and spot plane view.

I'm not seeing it now. I saw it in the Beechcraft 58 last night. I was just doing some free-flight fooling around in the 747, then in the Beech 58 and it's gone. I don't know that it ever did it in the 747.

But now I'm having a new problem. My throttles don't go to the max when I firewall the lever on my joystick. I was getting into the red zone in the 747 before and now I can get no more than about 90%. I stalled and crashed the small Cessna yesterday because I had no power; I couldn't get a climb going. I had my joystick maxed, but couldn't get above 1900-2000 rpm. I then tried using the throttles on the dash, manipulating it with the cursor. That seemed to work. Did I screw-up the relationship between joystick and throttle when used with the cursor? How do I reset it?

I use the thumb button on my joystick to switch views; never the keyboard.

[Sytse]

Make sure you have you're throttle axis sensitivity set to maximum sensitivity.

[WebbPA]

Thumb button or keyboard - doesn't make any difference.

Using the cursor to adjust the throttle should not affect your stick.

Calibrate your joystick in the Windows control panel.

[rootbeer]

OK; will do.

I have tried and tried to find a way to keep the plane from going into a fatal stall once I take my hand off the stick. I can't seem to find a way to trim it such that it will fly along by itself. I have to press forward quite a bit to keep it level. This is very tiring and no fun. Calibrating the joystick over and over doesn't seem to help.

Just went to Sensitivities... Found that I had set sensitivities to Simple, which set everything to about the middle. Back on Custom or Advanced, now...
