Hi JL,Thanks for writing.You can Alt/Tab out of Full Screen Mode, but not too many people have luck with this.Using X Gauge can also give some basic data from within FSX.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

>>>Using X Gauge can also give some basic data from within FSX.>I guess that's my queston: how does X Gauge work?thanks, JL

Hi,After you install it, you pull it us like a gauge in FSX with the default setting being Shift/5. Then you power on the gauge in the lower right.Let us know if you need more help with this!Thanks, Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thank you for your suggestions. When I installed Active Sky X, I did see that it was assigning gauges to certain aircraft panels, but it all happened so quickly that I couldn't follow it.Most of the planes I fly already have something assigned to SHIFT-5. If that's the case, what should I do? If SHIFT-5 has already been assigned, then what would the key command be to access some info from Active Sky X?thanks, JL

Hi,It depends on the option you used to install X Gauge. Run the X Gauge Wizard again and choose what Shift number you want to use.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi, I did what you suggested, but I got a "error" for the FeelThere planes. I went to "view, instruments" and I couldn't see X Gauge. Does that mean X Gauge won't work with FeelThere planes?thanks, JL
