Hi Folks....My first post in this forum.Much good/interesting info here.Noted a reference to use of CTRL+Q (and the implied use of CTRL+SHIFT+Q) to "raise and lower the seat" while using the 2-D cockpit.These commands do not work in FSX on my rig, which I find a bit frustrating. Is this a broader FSX problem or seemingly limited to my situation?Thoughts would be appreciated....:-)Dell XPS 400 ... 2.8 GHZ DCT256MB NVIDIA GEFORCE 7800 GTX2GB DDR2 SDRAMThanksRoy Marsh

Bet they do. Press AND HOLD Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+Shift+QAllcott

Roy,Like Allcott indicated, the key word is "HOLD". I learned this the hard way because I thought it worked like FS9, just hold down & it slowly goes down or up.Good luck!Erv

Allcott & Erv...Yep, HOLDing is the key, so to speak.Gee, wish all problems were that easy.ThanksRoy
