Somrthing Strange has happened to my cockpit View

Featured Replies

A strange thing has suddenly happened. I launched FS9, selected an aircraft which took me into the 2D cockpit view. Setting up the aircraft for a flight I attempted to adjust the altimeter to 20,000. My normal course of action would be to press the

Have you no patience? This isn't an on-demand support service, any response is dependent on anybody who can help happening to drop in. As it happens, I have found I get the same results as you if I hold the Shift key down while using the mouse wheel like that. Just press the space bar to reset the view.The solution? Best I can offer is to not hold the shift key down whilst using the mouse wheel.John

Have you no patience? Well that's a bit drastic and completely unnecessary !!!!!! I always aim to be polite and cordial on these forums, where many members have become friends and have used 'thanks' and 'please' even if a solution has not been found. I do not appreciate your supercilious remarks. All I did, as my question was disappearing out of sight and off the radar, was to 'ping it' with a 'please'. As it happens, by doing that you did read it (where previously you may not have) and helped me with an answer. Tristan

Hi pschlute That's a good point. As I was re:installing, Wilco Airbus Vol1. I am sure I installed a utility that enabled me to see inside the cabin. I think it was related to the Wilco Airbus series. Sorry, its sounds a bit vague, but I do remember having to press F1 (which had no affect whatsoever). Problem is I cannot see the utility to un-install it. Thanks Tristan.

PschluteYour idea, got me digging around the Modules folder, where I found a F1_View DLL file. By eliminating this has restored the cockpit back to normal. All appears to be working perfectly. Thanks for your suggestionTristan.

Well, since you solved your (own) problem, I don't have anything to add, other than 'Wham, Bang, Sock, Punch, Kick, Push, Hair Pull'-haha. That said, and you are WELCOME, I always write down stuff about installs, etc. A diary, if you will, of all pertinent activity that I push on my system or FS9. Cheap insurance. A $1 notebook and a pen is all the 'gear' you need. I put in the date (Mon-10Feb01-5 pm) and skip a line between notes. Just a suggestion. And oh, put a steak on that shiner (hehe).CBNapamule

Well I apologise if you find me "supercilious" - that was not my intention. Perhaps I was a little abrupt. The point I was trying to make was that I (and others) consider it cheeky when people complain they haven't had an answer, and it is also considered bad form by many to "bump" a topic up to the top of the list to get a better response.John

John, there is no need to apologise, being as you are, a respected member of these forums, I and others couldn't really do without you. It was never my intention to ruffle your feathers. Best regards Tristan.
