Help for a newbie

[Strung_Out]

hey everyone,

i have just recently obtained a copy of the original CFS and have found it a most entertaining simulataion. Although the planes included with the package are good, i felt the need to download some 3rd party aircraft from this site, which i am having trouble with. I have followed the readme files included in the downloads, and installed the aircraft accordingly so, but when i launch the program and start flying, everything works normally, except when im in the cockpit view all i can see are the apprioate panels, and black where the view of the worlds should be. i am running CFS1 on a windows XP system.

thanks for your time.

Hi Strung_Out. Please read my CFS Panel Clinic. http://www.simviation.com/lair/CFSpc.htm
I think this might explain your problem - & how to fix it.
