I never realised you could drag the aircraft symbol - many thanks for the tip.

Nick - is version 11 a significant improvement over version 8.5?Tim

What about Scenery Tech - which drive should that go on?

This is very easy to do by using the macro functionality of FSUIPC.

To remove the voice I suggest that you look in your aircraft.cfg file for a section headed [GPS]. Either remove that section, or comment out each of the lines.

Many thanks - I can now stay logged in.

I have the same issue as well.

It's the clouds by the water.Does this change your previous recommendation to turn off both SkyScapes and the Fog layer generation?Tim

Sorry Jim, I don't understand. I am flying above the grey fog layer - it's only about 50ft above ground level, so it would be difficult to fly beneath it, but is that what you want?

JimI'm sorry, but I have no idea at all how to tell if this is "the FSX visibility layer" that I'm seeing - if you can tell me how to do this then I'll obviously do it!You talk about "a texture fix that is in the graphics packages for FSX", can you tell me where to get this, so that I can try it?Thanks,Tim

OK I'll uncheck both SkyScapes - but presumably that means I won't get any of the SkyScape features?Fog layer generation was off.Is this problem solved in Active Sky Advanced, which apparently "eliminates FSX

Yes I have both "Enable SkyScape Mode" and "Use SkyScape for Stratus" ticked.Tim
