thanks much

Is there a good general reference for understanding EFIS, etc? I'm private pilot, want to get into instrument flight and within the sim particularly Citation X flying, but much of that manual is difficult to understand and not explained. Short of reading the Jepp manual on instrument flight, any place that condensed information regarding EFIS, FMC, etc is available? Searched the forums but no good results. thanks for any reply.

thanks for the help, but what I need is info on how to save a pic in FSX.

any help appreciated. Have GeForce 9800 card, runs fine. What I am seeing in several third party add-ons is a kind of shimmering around all gauges -- very fine lines at edges, looks as if I'm seeing background scenery as small slits around gauges, MFD's, etc. As if you could see light from behing the edges of the gauges shining through. I would think the virtual cockpit would be a solid image, not able to be seen through?? Thanks for any suggestions. Can send a pic but don't know how to do that. Greg

Any help appreciated. Just performed registry cleaner, and now having issues with the mouse. When FSX loads, the entire screen is shifted over, and moving the mouse at the perimeter of the screen field shifts the screen to and fro, up down, etc. In flight, while CH Fighterstick works fine, using the mouse to click buttons, etc. also shifts the entire screen up, down, side-side, etc. -- chasing object driving me nuts. Prior to this, as usual, mouse would work fine to click items within the screen, but not move the entire screen itself around. Any help appreciated. Greg

any help appreciated --something's happened to my monitor display in that when I place the mouse at the edges of the monitor it moves to another portion of the display. In other words, the display seems larger than the monitor window, and I can 'move' the mouse to see other areas of the display. How do I get the display to sit 'regularly' in the monitor window without this larger viewing area. Driving me nuts, and I think killing frame rates. Thanks for any reply.

Any help appreciated --I am able to see background images through tiny slits around gauges, screws, etc. in many add-on panels. This isn't visible in pause mode, but resumes when in motion -- you can see the ground moving as though through slit-like gaps between gauges. In addition, there seems to be a super-postition of panels, in that side panes knobs exist in thin air -- as if two panels were on top of each other. Running windows XP, have both SP1 and 2, with nvidea GepForce 9800 GTX card.Thanks for nay feedback.Thanks, Greg

Ralf, Thanks for the follow-up. I'm using nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX. I can't find the box for "user Applications", but the short story is that I re-installed FS9, and all working OK. After un-installing I left the folder alone, and fortunately didn't have to re-load all of the add-ons. Greg

I think this has been addressed before, but I've been away from the forum for a long time. FS9 was working just fine, now flickers when it comes up -- virtually can't do anything. Any help appreciated.

FS9 is really the only 'game' I play -- private pilot with not enough time to get into the air. thanks.

thanks much -- I'll get onto it.

any help please -- since installing nVidia GeForce 6800 GT card, FS9 stutters/flashes/etc. when loading. Several quick flashes, then usually loads, but after choosing aircraft, several more flashes, and may or may not quit while flying. Uninstalled and re-installed FS9, same problem -- think it's the graphics card. Any similar observations or recommendations? thanks.

thanks much.

any help please -- FS9 running very poorly, flashing screen, quitsfrequently. Tried to uninstall, get message "cannot open file 'install.log'". Any other way to uninstall? thanks. Greg.
