From my reading at various forums the recently released C172 isn't the only plane with this issue. Other planes like the Lotus L39, F1 king air, a2a mustang, and the PMDG 777 are exhibiting this behavior.

 

I've never had this happen to me but I watched it happen on my friends PC while he flew the king air.

 

I wonder if we could create a list of similarities between systems that have these issues...

 

For instance I run win7 on basic mode, and Aero is disabled. I also have single monitor..

 

I sometimes wonder if me running basic mode (read running basic as in no aero themes I own Professional) is the reason why I don't have the clickspots issue.

 

Also I have TIR5 but NO camera programs running (I have opus but camera portion disabled).

 

What do you guys think? Can we help the community figure out this issue?

I have a feeling it's multi-monitor related.. Pretty sure all of the posts I've seen with this issue (at least those who mentioned their display config) have 2+ monitors.

I agree... My friend runs 3 monitor as well.

If the viewpoint is within geometry, i.e. headrest, clcikspots will become unclickable.

Ryan Im running Aero but windows disconnects it when FSX starts up

It's not that Bjoern... That's an age old problem. This is something relatively new.

 

Unless its some random Win hotfix that well never be able to track down.

Maybe it's video driver related.

I am a "2 screener" as well, but my second screen is just a place to move 2D dialogs I like to interact with easily - I have just one VC display screen - I have never experiencied this type of problem before - just the normal "you need to click back on the VC display so it gets focus" when having used 2D dialogs on the "black screen"...

Dx10?

Never went to the dark side - DX9 only here

It happened to me on the F1 King, but never on my A2A P-51.

Run DX9

Running more than one display?

Meh, it probably isn't multi mon related... a guy at the a2a c172 forums has single monitor and has issues...  argh

 

What a nightmare for devs....

A thought... is everyone running fullscreen versus windowed?

I run full screen all the time, except when I have to jump out to mess with Skype or something, I wondered if perhaps moving between these display modes might be a factor, but never saw anything conclusive on my system...
