Problem w/user-defined weather ...

Postby LeFeaoux » Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:32 am

Have any of you experienced this problem:

My sim works great until I try to utilize "user-defined weather". Whenever I manually change the weather and go back into the sim I can no longer change my aircraft views and pressing "ALT" doesn't bring-up the top menu and does absolutely nothing at all. Also, nothing happens when I right-click on the screen to change views. Whatever views I had when I changed the weather are the views  I am stuck with unless I exit the flight and initiate a "normal" flight. Once I do that, everything goes back to normal.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-?

Wow this is strange....
It looks like a "loss of focus" from the application. Could you try, instead of ending the flight, to switch to windowed mode, then full-screen mode again ?
Or maybe, just pressing ALT+TAB once ?

I will try that ... I don't know if that will work or not. Something else ... NONE of the in-flight commands work either. I cannot raise gear, raise or lower flaps or anything else that requires a key-command. This is really blowing my mind!  :-?

I will try what you suggest and then let you know what happened. Thanks for your reply!

Well, if I change the weather while I am "in-flight" then I don't have any issues. However, I still cannot set-up a flight on the trip planner and start off on the ground with specific weather without experiencing the issues I mentioned above.

Must be Gremlins!
