Check your bindings. I suspect that Shift + c is set up to do BOTH enter cockpit and show checklist. I removed the show checklist binding. Trevor

I've just had a similar problem in that FS2024 would get so far then stop with no message. After some research - including looking at the event viewer, I concluded that gaming services was screwed up. I uninstalled gaming services AND the XBox app. Check the Task Manager to make sure that gaming services has gone. Reboot the system Install XBox from the microsoft store. This triggers the automatic installation of gaming services. Reboot the system. Check the services in Task Manager to make sure gaming services is now running. Start FS2024 - my problem is now cured. Of course this may not be identical to your problem but try it. I cannot take credit for this sequence of events - I found this solution by searching the forum for tips on reinstalling gaming services. Trevor

After loading it - You can also save it as an FS2024 pln file. Use the menu "Export Flight Plan as MSFS 2024 PLN ...". Shortcut is CTL Shift F Trevor

Just a thought - The landing gear switch on the A2A Comanche can be made to operate in 2 different ways. Check the A2A Tablet to see which of the 2 methods is active and try the other method to see if it cures the problem. One method treats the switch as a 2 way toggle ( my preference ), and the other has it as a 3 way switch. I think the 3 way method is the default. Trevor

I would also like to add my thanks. Although I did not have the exact same problem it pointed me to the solution. My solution was to search the following folder. "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" for the "TODO" folder. You will need to unhide "C:\ProgramData" to search down this path.

A word of caution - The product is only officially supported on Windows 7. There are several threads in the forums about using the product in Windows 8.1 and also in the new Windows 10. I have used some of the suggested posts to have it running in 8.1 albeit with a few very brief stutters when selecting some of the overhead switches. I do not run it in Windows 10.

Run the NVidia Inspector in Compatibility mode. I opted for Windows 8 Compatibility.

Just to say THANKS to Dad. The suggestion to use the Pete Dowson "MakeRwys" package cured the problem. Trevor

I am flying from Manchester (UK) - EGCC When FSX was originally released the runways were 24L, 24R, 06L and 06R. A few years ago these were changed to 23L, 23R, 05L and 05R. I have UK2000 Manchester EGCC installed and so for normal operations the new runway designations are set. The FMC recognises the new settings !! When I approach or line up on 23 R the 777 callout still uses 24R. Any ideas where I can change this please ? Trevor

But You will need to check, and possibly reapply, any settings after an update to the NVidia device drivers.

It could be that there is a rogue file in the temporary area or it could also be that Norton is giving a false reading. An alternative to a system recovery may be just to simply delete the temporary files. There is a free program called CCLEANER (Crap Cleaner) which can assist but if you have no working browser then you cannot download it. I don't use Norton 360 but doesn't it have a cleaning option ? An alternative is Bring up the RUN prompt from the Start menu - I always have this available - you may have to enable it. type %TMP% and hit enter - this will list all the files and folders in the temporary area do a CTRL a to select all files hit the DEL key if you get a prompt about being unable to delete a particular file or folder then select the SKIP ALL option. try your browser again. If this does not cure the problem and you wish to restore the deleted files then they can be retored from the Recycle Bin If you suspect that you really have a virus then you should really run a boot time scan. I use the Kapersky Rescue disk. This is free and all you need is to download the files from their site and then write a CD or USB stick. Next boot the machine from the CD (or stick) and after the program starts make it do an update to get the latest virus signatures before running a scan on your machine. I appreciate that without a browser you may not be able to download the files but once you get a working browser it may be worth getting the files for the future. There are other programs which do the same thing as Kapersky but I personally have never used them.

The fix I used has now been loaded to the Library. Please search for Autothumbnail. Please be aware that there is absolutely no support!!

I have it working but I can't for the life of me remember what I did specifically for Windows 7 (64 bit). When I installed it I placed the installed files directly in the FSX folder. (F:\FSX\Autothumbnail\) One thing I DO remember is that you have to manually replace the original Autothumbnail.exe with is different one which is specifically for Vista or Windows 7. The original file had a date of 12/03/2006 and a size of 28kb. The replacement file is dated 29/11/2009 and has a size of 21kb. I got this replacement file by downloading Autothumbnail_Fix.zip. Finally for items to appear in the menu of FSX, modifications are needed to one of the XML Configuration files. I believe that these were done for me automatically by the original installation setup process. I did NOT do the manual install. The change on my system was made to the EXE.xml file.

I also have a Warthog and too have had similar problems where a button press on the stick or throttle does not do as expected. I still use Target but my solution may be relevant to you.Fire up whatever software is driving the stick. (For me Target).Start FSXGet to the options for control.Now select Buttons/Keys - the middle tab..From memory there are 3 columns. The last 2 columns relate to Joystick.and Repeat.Go down every entry and delete any button assignments to the joystick.It seems that Microsoft in their wisdom automatically assign some button commands to joystick buttons even though you and me want to control it.See if that cures the problem.

Check the "Propeller Control" settings. This setting is controlled by Ctrl + F1 - Low RPM Ctrl + F2 - Decrease RPM Ctrl + F3 - Increase RPM Ctrl + F4 - High RPM or you may be able to set an Axis on you controller to control the setting. If the aircraft starts with the High RPM set then you may be getting more thrust that needed which will make it run too fast on the ground.If the setting is Low RPM then you could need more throttle to get it moving so you will have to experiment with the setting to get one you are comfortable with.
