I was wondering why a few 3rd-party add-ons cause a minor problem when you load in on a flight. The tool-tips and other sim-generated messages don't show up, just their backgrounds. I've noticed this with the PMDG 737's and the Citation X (just to jog my memory).For example - when I load in at a gate, the message that usually appears at the bottom of the screen about your parking brakes being on is just a red bar, no white letters. If I switch out to another plane, say the default Lear, the problem goes away, and I can read messages and ATC announcements just fine.Is this a problem with the sim, or just the specific planes?Thanks in advance.Scott

You should always load a flight using one of the default planes then change to the add-on airplane you wish to fly. This isn't so much a problem with the sim, nor is it really the fault of add-ons.Hope this helps,Greg

Greg,That did the trick! Much thanks for the quick reply!
