Hi everybody,Yesterday I wrote:Quote:Since I have installed this great addon I have following behaviour:As I select "Views" ---> "View Options" to set view-parameters, FS2002 crashes.It happens anywhere with any AC and any weather setting, with or without Fs Sky World SE.End of Quote.I can reproduce the bug any time, when I want....In the installation documentation of FS Sky World 2000SE, there are some tips.One of them is:"in FS2002.cfg, under [MAIN] section add following line: HideInfoText=1, this will desable ALL TEXT in MSFS"If I let this parameter to 1, the sim crashes as I try to enter the View Options pulldown menu.As soon as reset this parameter to 0, the sim works like a dream!It may be a Windows-XP specific behaviour? I donno.I hope it will help some of you!Thanks to FSW Group for this great addon

That would be why I no longer see the crash ;-) I tried HideInfoText=1 once and decided it was overkill so I changed it back to 0. FSSW works just peachy without this option set.

Hi, It's weird, maybe this is why Msfs did not include this in their fs2002.cfg for the release.This line HideInfoText=1 is part of Msfs code not Fs sky world code.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFshttp://fsw.simflight.com/fsw.jpg

This is true. However, since this is an obvious source of a serious crash, I would remove your recommendation that users enable this flag from your Installation Instructions.
