IE 11

From the home page, I did click around and then the FSXInsider page opened in an external window. Also, I can manually go into those folders and open any of the web pages manually with no problems. For example, the Learning Center location is C:\Flight Simulator X\Uires\lc01.htm I can open the link manually and see everything, all tabs, all boxes. Just can't see 'em in FSX. I can go into the Lessons Directory and load up a lesson htm file externally with no problem.

Thanks for responding. Yes, the dlgsplash.bmp is present and it loads up when you first start FSX. The Free Flight, Missions, Multiplayer, Pilot Records, and Settings pages all load fine. It is just the mission brief, along with the Learning Center page and Home page that loads up blank, even though leads to believe it has to be something related to FSX's internal browser or it could be graphically related....I am not sure.. Like I had stated above, even though the screen is blank, I can still move my mouse around the Home and Learning Center screens and see the mouse cursor change from an arrow to a hand pointer. Just seems so odd to me.

Tried it with no luck. In fact, when FSX starts up, I can hear the music from the home screen playing but the home screen is blank.

I have been searching to try to find an answer to this issue but it seems that the problem that I am experiencing may be one that is rare. First off, I have no crashes to desktop, my system is running fine and FSX is running fine. My issue is when I go to the Learning Center via the FSX opening screen menu, the Learning Center screen is blank. I can move my mouse cursor around the blank portion of the screen and see the cursor change from an arrow to a hand, but, everything is still blank. I can select the multiplayer, free flight, and mission screen via their links and those screen load right up. Now, as far as the mission screen is concerned, when I try to select a brief for any mission, the briefing screen will not open, even though I can still select to fly the mission or cancel. Finally, when I am flying a mission and go to the knee board, the brief screen is also blank as well as other screens within the knee board. Like I said at the beginning, FSX does not crash at all and I can fly missions or operate FSX normally for hours with no problems. As a workaround, I can load the mission screens in my external IE 11 Browser with no problems or warning indicated. I can also load the Learning Center going through the Uires Folder. My FSweb and Lessons folders are also all intact and I can open the .htm files externally without any issues. I think the problem may be browser-related but I just can't seem to nail it down. Any thoughts? I am also using WIndows 7. Regards

I agree with Whami. The existing clickspots work extremely well. That's not to say that the proposed mod might be helpful for others. With the PFD modifications that allow for adjustments to HDG/CRS/SPD/ and VS, I am finding that I am using the PFD more as I have set my EZDOK settings to get a better view of the PFD area which also allows me to press the appropriate buttons. I know that there has been discussion about a possible page two for the flight information panel. It would be great to see some of the V speed info on page two. Maybe that can be considered?

Bert, Janek, Ramon, and Ray, Thank you guys very much for this. This is really awesome.

In the checklist provided by Carenado, there is a ground check for flaps, specifically Item 7 under BEFORE TAXI. I have been unable to see this work and I am guessing it is not modeled. Has anyone else tried? The checklist item is as follows: 7. Flaps - CHECK and SET. a. Set flaps to GROUND FLAPS and verify both speed brakes deploy. b. Advance the throttles to above 85% N2; verify speed brakes retract and the FLAPS >35° annunciator illuminates. c. Retard throttles to idle; verify lights extinguish and speed brakes redeploy. d. Set flaps to TAKEOFF AND APPROACH; verify speed brakes retract. Regards

My old eyes thank you!

Ditto! Thank you!

Wow! Impressive! I wish I had that talent!

Thanks for update! Will PM Bert.

I also purchased the GTN 750 this evening and would like to install it into the Phenom as well. Regards!
