Tried this fix and discovered a problem I have which, apparently, no one else has. When I go to the mini panel view and then do a Shift 2 or any other panel view, the panel view flashes for a second and then both the mini panel and panel view are gone. This problem means that I can't bring up the radio panel, GPS or anyother panel view while in mini panel or while in the view with no instruments. Shift 2 or Shift 3 only works if I alreadyy have the full instrument panel displayed. This problem prohibits me from making this fix.Anyone else have this problem or any idea what is wrong?Thanks.Stiletto2Edit: I was running FSX SP1....changed to FSX SP2 and this problem was fixed. Now I can use the work around so.....cancel this question.

If you are using programmable stick/throttle...a button programmed like this (Thrustmaster code):Button XX /T SHF 5 a SHF a /T w w wmakes it a one button scenario...In other words:Go to Mini panel screen in normal way (cycle W key)....then one press of Button XX takes you to the Full Screen mode with no gauges and the ability to look all around with no cockpit parts in the way. At this point you can do virtual cockpit or any external viewing. Once back to full screen mode you can then just push Button XX again and it will take you back to the mini panel screen where you initially started. Stiletto2
