Hi,On all my FSX Carenado planes, the new Bonanza F33, the 185F and the Saratoga, the toggle switches shown on the A page (for example, Shift+2 for the GPS) rather suddenly stopped working. Can anyone suggest what might have caused this to happen and offer a remedy ?Thank youJack :(

Do you have CAPS ON on your keyboard?

Bert, I've given this problem more thought and I'm now focusing more on some automatic system changes/updates by HP that were made the same week I added the Bonanza. Another non-Carenado FSX sim with similar program features was affected as well in the same time period. Prior to last week it had been running superbly.I'm not sure how to proceed as my world crumbles around me. Should I do a system restore ? Would that undo the suspect system changes ? I don't want to start deleting programs which is, in my view, a slippery slope.Jack

Every single FSX plane opens and closes panel windows with the shift-1, shift-2 etc combination.Try some of the default planes first.. also open the window with ALT-Views-Cockpit etc and see if that works.In the panel.cfg file for the airplane you should find the windows with WindowXX titles.Shift-1 will open and close Window00, etc

Now I've discounted the system changes as the culprit, since the toggle keystrokes work fine in the Bonanza. I may try uninstalling the Bonanza .Jack :(

Bert, in almost every default plane the Shift+2 would not open the GPS. The radio stacks were also corrupted in many. ( Strangely enough no such problems with the add-on Premier Aircraft Design TwoOtters.)What do you make of this ? Recommendation ?Jack

The GPS is not always Window01 = shift+2 !For example, in the KingAir it is Window02 = shift+3..Just open the respective panel.cfg file with Notepad and have a look.When you say corrupted, what do you mean? Can you attach a screenshotof a specific default plane?

Bert, attached is a picture of the default 208B showing the radio stack. In the Caravan panel.cfg file, Windows1=Radio Stack, Windows2=GPS. Shift+1 and Shift+2 keystrokes did not bring up the GPS or the radio stack in this airplane. ALT-Views-Instrument-GPS/Radio Stack did not produce an image, either.In all the default planes , none of the designated keystrokes produced the expected results.So, something happened with files, I'm not sure what. What can I do to repair them ?Jack

How about your key-assignments. Are they configurated correctly?Phil
