I just confirmed what you see. I have FSX-Acceleration on XP-Home SP3 with latest security updates. When I click nav in the kneeboard I get a CTD. I am also running Nvidia 8600 GTS 256MB with original drivers.If you find more, please post here.Phill

EDIT: It is morning and I'm apparently not hitting on all cylinders because my answer has absolutely nothing to do with what you asked. Tonight, I will try to view the nav log on the kneeboard and see what happens. :-bluegrab Phill

Sorry - missed this post yesterday. I see you found the answer already, hope it works for you.Phill

Never saw it bouncing in and out, but the solid screen VC in rain is known. Try the Flight1 fix (first download on the link below)...http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=libraryPhill

>In the F18,I do not get any HUd or MFDinfo>diplayed. Its like the avionics afre turned off.Just had a thought. To see if avionics are turned off, after loading the F-18, load the default 737-800 and check the glass displays there. That would confirm the avionics status (or at least give you a clue) one way or the other. Then load the F-18 again to see what happens.Phill

At least one person had simmconnect problems getting both TrackIR and the Acceleration F-18 working. Could be something like that. Have you seen this thread? Look for the post by "Penzoil3" name of Sue.http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php...msg2266#msg2266Flew the F-18 last night with no problems (but I don't have TrackIR).Phill

The file is located here...C:Documents and SettingsPhill RoathMy DocumentsFlight Simulator X FilesLogbook.BINAnd the ability to fix it is here...http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...thor=&CatID=fsxEven if you delete it, it comes back and can cause problems. I just repair it when something goes wrong.Phill

Go to your cameras.cfg (see path below) and edit...C:Documents and SettingsPhill RoathApplication DataMicrosoftFSXInside set the following for virtual cockpit...Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.Origin = Virtual CockpitMomentumEffect = NoThe MomentumEffect line should do it.Phill

IIRC the Maule has a problem. The model has nav lights included in the model itself and they are linked to the landing lights. So, yes, you get all lights with landing lights. However, the aircraft.cfg file also includes nav lights that are controlled via the cockpit switches so you can control them that way as long as the landing lights are off.I know that may be confusing, but there is no work around.Phill

>>Why would I ever need to click on an .air file? It's not like>an icon or an .exe file.>For those of us who use AirEd to edit air files I usually click on an air file to open it. Most folks don't, but some do. YMMVPhill :-hah

That's correct.Phill

On approach to land, select A/B 1, 2, 3, or MAX. When you touchdown on the runway the brakes will apply and remain active until the acft comes to a complete stop (I think you can also just turn the knob to A/B 0 while still moving to remove brakes).On takeoff, select A/B RTO which stands for Rejected Take Off. In this scenario, when you reach a certain speed (80 KIAS?) and then you reduce throttles to zero, the brakes are automatically applied and perform as above.Phill

The FL stands for Flight Level and is measured in hundreds of feet. So FL240 = 24,000 ft. In the US, FL is used beginning at FL180 (and the barometric pressure is set to 29.92 inches). Below that you use the full altitude numbers.This should all be covered in the FSX Learning Center.Phill

There were earlier posts where certain CD/DVD writers were causing this very symptom. Can't be more specific than that, but perhaps a search of FSX posts along those lines might help.Phill

I have made additional camera views (mostly via the copy and modify methodology) to get just what I want but I still have at least one pop-up in all my aircraft, Shift-3 for the FSX GPS gauge.I see you need to move to a second monitor and that's where the problems come in, I suppose. I don't use a second monitor and have no guess how that can be done.Phill

Here's a link to a forum thread that talks about this. There are section in camera.cfg files and aircraft.cfg files.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...75818&mode=fullPhill

There are shortcut 3D views in VC (or at least available). They are called camera views and for example in the default Maule you can get a view of just the radios or of the switches or of the fuel handle (although in the maule the 3D fuel handle does not work properly). Most 3D pits come with multiple camera views (just press the A key to cycle through them, or right click and choose the exact view wanted). I always add HIDDEN_FROM_CYCLE or what ever that line is so I only get the views I want with the A key. With a lot of acft, one view is the FO position.You can also with camera views turn off head latency for each view (I have it turned off completely). I never use the 2D views anymore and they are no longer in my "S" button cycle.YMMV,Phill

The folks who actually did the VC for the Acceleration F-18 has a website with tutorials. Click the link below.http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0Oh, and make sure your acft realism is NOT off, it needs to be at least mid range or the braking action will groundloop. Enjoy,Phill

There is a quick thing to try. Go to: Settings - Customize - GraphicsOn that panel move the Global Texture Resolution slider to Very High. This has solved blurry VC for lots of folks. If it don't work for you, no harm done in the attempt.Phill

>LOL I have no clue...I just click it and it opens.....>I'd bet those who can't open that file are using Firefox as a browser. IE7 shows it just fine. However, it should be shown as a jpg to ensure all browsers can view it.Phill

Is this what you're looking for? I have a workaround when the SP2 changed the night lighting and it commented out the VC Panel lights in all the default aircraft.cfg files. Take a look here...http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ode=full#441789Phill

Vista or XP? What are you using to edit the file? I am XP and use TextPad w/o problems.Phill

I have my parking brake set when I start. Load your default flight, set the conditions you want (e.g. - Parking Brake on, ATC Window size and position, etc...) then save it making sure the "Default" box is checked.Have not tried it with visual axis indicator, but I suspect it will work. It's quick and easy to try.Phill

Just a thought, it's possible you have a registry problem. If so then Flight1 has a utility for that. Go to the following page and it's the fourth download on that page. Might help.http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=libraryPhill

I adjust the size and position of the ATC window in my default flight and it always comes back to that size. Seems to work just fine for me.Phill
