May 3, 20215 yr In the settings for FSX, accessed via the 'Customize' tab, there is a tick-box for 'Flying Tips'. Like all these selectable settings it must (?) alter an entry in the fsx.cfg file. For the life of me I can't stop these tips from appearing on screen even though the tick-box is not selected. I've checked, every time they appear, and the tick box is not selected; I've looked at the fsx.cfg file and can't find anything there, in fact I can't find a specific line entry for 'flying tips'. Should there be one, or is it labelled something more obscure? I assume any entry against it would be null or 0 to prevent the tips from appearing? Anyone, please? Andrew Andrew Gold
May 3, 20215 yr Try going to: Settings Customize Aircraft Show Cockpit Tooltips And, make sure it is not checked.

The only box there is "ToolTips" under Display! "FlyingTips" (which pops up messages like "Press the Ctrl+X key to reset your Mixture", etc). ToolTips is when you place your mouse pointer on a switch or button and it displays the function of that switch or button. He need to go to Settings/Realism to untick flying tips!

May 3, 20215 yr Author OK all, thanks for the help. Obviously this poor lamb got his Cockpit Tool Tips and Flying Tips mixed up! I apologise for inadvertantly causing a 'stooshie'. I have now sorted it out, thanks to you. Andrew Andrew Gold
