Hmmm- recently, FS9 has developed a 'quirk' that is bizarre. When it is running, I can no longer use the space bar on my computer. FS will not recognize it (when typing in the save fields for example), or even if I alt-tab to the desktop to use a browser or something - no spaces at all, until I quit FS9 and then it behaves normally.Bizarre. Is there a way to 'reset' the sim without loosing all my configuration changes?ADVthanksANCE

Just incase someone can answer your problem, maybe it will answer my "quirk" too.Ctrl+Shift+V will no longer open my cowl flaps. Ctrl+Shift+C will close them if I open them from the control lever in VC.

Have either of you tried (A) resetting the assignments to default; or (:( deleting the FS9 config and restarting Flight Sim?Just a thought, but perhaps.....Bob

Beauty! That did it - thanks!!
