FSX-SE info pop ups disappeared

Featured Replies

I used to these little info popup whenever I pointed my mouth to a knob, for example if I pointed to heading knob and if I turned the knob these little info popup would show me the heading as I turned the know or altitude knob would show me the altitude but it stopped doing it and I don't know how to get that back.  Can anyone help me to put this back, I find it very useful.

Open fsx 

settings

customize

click aircraft tab

check the box “show cockpit ToolTips”

I did that and it's checked and I still get no tooltips!  I have no idea as to why it's doing this.

Are you running in full screen mode in DX10? If so then tooltips won't display.

DX10 was checked and it was the culprit.  Thanks.

... but not in full window mode...

This is one of the many things fixed by the Direct X 10 Fixer.

Never heard of that.

DX10 Fixer and DX10 Cloud Shadows are, in my opinion, two of the best addons for our FSX setup. They add so much and are great value. I've had both a few years now and I wouldn't be without them.

There is a really good DX10 Fixer forum here on AVSIM - worth investigating if you're interested.

I have left the second blank screen in the image as evidence that this is FSX full screen, as accessed with Alt + Return

I'll review my setup, Reader :cool:
