cockpit tool tips  question

Postby RickG » Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:57 am

Hi all. I used to have 'cockpit tool tips' enabled, and every once in a while I got that screen blanking/flashing prob, but it was live-able. A short while ago it started acting up nearly every time I moved the mouse in the cockpit, so I turned it off, and all is well. I am wondering tho if the sudden change might indicate something going goofy in my computer. I haven't noticed any problems anywhere else.  Thanks for reading.

Its a common bug in FSX with certain aircrafts. No need to worry.

Hi rikm12345. My biggest concern is that it used to rarely do it, then started doing it almost constantly. Other than that, I aint worried.  :)

Hi,

Have you recently upgraded to Service pack 2 or Acceleration, any hardware changes or video card driver changes?
Does it happen only with certain aircrafts?

I'm not 100% sure what causes it to happen.
