l have installed FSX De Lux in my computer running Windows 7 and it works fine ( l think) .However since l am new with FSX l am kind of lost with basic things line .1. How do l minimize the FSX window .2. What about the tools used with FS9 , like AFCAD , Flattex , Ez_scenery and the like . Are there new versions available . l have been looking around the net and couldn't find anything .Thanks replies

Alt-Tab to switch from full-screen to windowed mode. You can then minimize FSX using the normal Windows control icons in the upper right corner of the window.AFCAD still "works" as it did in FS9, but...I highly recommend using ADE9X instead, as it is first of all a continuation of Lee's venerable AFCAD program, but has the advantage of also having fixed quite a few issues with AFCAD, and added the capability of being used as an airport scenery editor!The major advantage is that ADE9X is still being continuously developed, to add new features and fix any 'bugs' that've popped up from time to time... :( ADE9X may be downloaded from here:http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/filemanager/...bd0edd&dir=.ADE9X support may be found here:http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=95
