Thanks, I'll give that a try

I might try a reinstall of the aircraft. I did install as Admin, anti virus off, recent download with service pack.I'm able to get the overhead panel to show up when I go - View Mode>Cockpit>Overhead Panel -- But the view looks like I'm on the floor, out of position somewhat, with the panel too far away to read the names associated with the switches.The glitch when I press shift 2, is just the mouse pointer quickly flashing between a pointer arrow and an hourglass. It does that sometimes with other aircraft if I select certain views through the menus. Sometimes when that happens it coincides with a prompt about the ATI 5870 (running a 3 monitor setup). Forget what it says. I'm running an older driver and hesitate to update when things are working well for the most part. Read on the ATI forums 6 months ago, guys having to go back to older drivers to work well.What is the ideal position for the TrackIR? I have it sitting on top of the monitor about level with my forehead. Wondering if it was mounted higher, it might give a better motion when I look up. Right now, when I have the view moved closer to the instrument panel and look up, the TrackIR comes to a stop with only half the panel showing. I have to zoom out the view, then look up and the panel shows fine.

Thanks for the info, but it's not working.When in the Virtual Cockpit and I go through the menu - View>New View>Cockpit>Overhead View - It doesn't bring up the overhead panel, it brings up something, but it's not anything I recognize. Maybe it's a small portion of the panel, I don't know.When I press shift 2 it causes some type of error, the mouse pointer goes from an arrow to the hourglass flashing fast. The sim functions fine, and the mouse pointer still works. Shift 1 through 9 brings up something on every key, except shift 2.I have Level D 767, and when going through the menu commands, it brings up the overhead panel fine. Shift 2 doesn't bring anything up though.

I'm using the EJets V2 EMB175Shift 1-9 commands bring up several different views, but not the overhead. I'll look through the manual some more.

Is their a keyboard entry to show the overhead panel in FSX with the virtual cockpit. I have Track IR and when I have the view zoomed in close enough, to see the instruments the way I like, it's hit or miss to look up and see the overhead panel. I'm bobbing my head around to have the panel come into view.

Problem solved. Replacing the halo.bmp file with another in the FSX texture folder fixed it.

Message sent with my email address included.Thanks

Here's a couple more shots of what I'm seeing in a larger representation.I tried adjusting the cfg file for runway lights and that made a small differenceDropped brightness of street lights in UTX from 50% to 25% and still no differenceThe comment about the Halo.bmp file rings a bell from what fixed it before. Further suggestion on what to do here might be of help.Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.us

I did follow the tuning guide in setting up UTX initially.As far as it looking cool... I don't think it looks realistic. The VASI on approach, is distracting and blends together.What setting in UTX changes this. It's not just street lighting because the VASI lights are this way too.

This happened to me before and I posted the problem. Someone offered a solution that worked, think it had to do with the cfg file. I can't recall what it was and I can't locate the original message I posted.

Any idea what's going on here and what change should be made. Running Windows 7-64 FSX- UTX, GEX, REXUploaded with ImageShack.us

Thanks for the response

I'm going to DeFrag my hard drives and was cleaning up some things. Was wondering if it's ok to delete the items in my download folder. I've installed everything in FSX and it's running fine. Below is a screenshot of the folder. Do these need to remain or can they be deleted?Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I've got a VRinsight MCP Combo Panel and I'm trying to use it with an aircraft that requires the buttons/knobs to be programmed manually. When I try to use the Key Mapper program with it, I'm having problems assigning the function to the buttons/knobs on the panel (auto pilot). For example, when I try to program a button as a Mouse Key to select and assign a function, I select Mouse Key/Enable/Left Button then Set - the mouse pointer turns into a cross, but when I move the mouse to area of the panel (auto pilot) over the button, it changes from a cross back to the regular mouse pointer and nothing happens when I click to program the button. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the replysI'll look into them

I'm looking for a 2 engine transport jet that I could do realistic engine out, V1 cut scenarios.I'm presently furloughed from a CRJ 200 and want to practice some things, but there isn't a good CRJ 200 for FSXI noticed that Level D 767 lists "Programmation of engine failures triggered by speed (V1/V2/Vr)". Is this a good choice or would there be others capable of this? Is the Embraer Regional Jets 135/145 by Wilco capable of this?I'm running FSX with Windows 7-64 bit.

I remember when I had 9 hours. Best of luck to you.Be safe in your soon to be Solo Flight

Thanks for the suggestions When I go to the Wilco site, is the CRJ New Generation Upgrade an addition that is to be ordered along with Regional Jet v1 - CRJ? Says something about compatability.I'm running Windows 7-64, will I have any problems with 64 bit?

Is there a good CRJ 200 available for FSXI'm a furloughed pilot from the CRJ 200 and would like to practice on something as realistic as possible. Systems, FMS etc.

I was able to use a Y adaptor and plug the front/rear speakers into the adaptor. Works well enough.

Thanks for the info

I have a 4.1 speaker setup running on Windows 7-64I can't get the rear speakers to play in FSXI configured Windows to play through all four speakers and can play music through all four speakers just fine.In FSX I have gone into the Sound Settings and selected the speakers I have.Any ideas?

I've got a 5870 with a 3 monitor setup running an i7-950 at 4.2 GHzThis is my first attempt to run FSX at this level and wondering what kind of performance I should expect from it. If flying at 3,000 feet approaching a heavily forested area, in the distance it would appear to be a small amount of trees, then within about 3 miles, trees pop up and it becomes quite dense. Similar thing with buildings in city. I'm getting what I would term as micro-stutters and more pronounced while turning. Can I do better with the 5870 and 3-24 inch monitors (1920x1200)?Seems to run best on DX9 with frame locked at 30 (if unlimited it stutters much more)ATI drivers 10.3O&O 12I followed Nick's tuning guide for everything relating to Vista for my Windows 7-64 systemI see he recently posted something for Windows 7 now and wondering if it's worth doing the install again.

That workedThanks for the suggestion
