FSX Narrative Tag on Panel

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I remember that, when hovering the mouse on a switch or display, there will be a line or words popping up, telling you what is that switch display.

 

For example, if you hover your mouse over the AP button, it will pop up "Auto Pilot Master Switch" in a small box.

However, my FSX no longer has that. Is there a specific setting that I can use to enable this feature?

 

Thank you

Settings/Display - is "Show cockpit ToolTips" ticked.

The only one I know.

I guess that one seems to be "Press B to reset barometer" things like that?

No, that would be "Enable flying tips" or something like that (I have the German version, thus I can only guess how it would be in the English one).

I think Jim kindly enlightened me in that it was "Virtual copilot=1" as I had raised a thread asking what the virtual copilot was for when I never saw a virtual co-pilot and I think it was him who told me it was for those little tooltips that show up on mouse hover...

Show cockpit ToolTips is indeed the relevant setting. However, if you are using DirectX 10, I do not think the ToolTips will show. I miss the feature when trying to set stabilizer trim precisely in the PMDG B747. . . . The readings of the 2-D and 3-D trim gauges seem to be very different!

Yes, it's the right option. Thank you.
