  1. I can't help specifically I'm afraid as I don't have this particular aircraft but I had similar issue with the PMDG 777 where clicking on a second monitor above my main monitor caused the sun visor to deploy. I was able to fix this by editing the relevant xml file to disable the sun visor. The file you need to look for will likely be called something like "[aircraft_name]_interior.xml" or similar and will typically be in the aircraft's model folder (with some 3rd party aircraft it may be in a folder called "behaviours" or something similar). Once you have located the file you can open it with a text editor and look for the section that relates to opening the window, this will typically contain code that writes either 1 or 0 to a variable, changing it so that it only ever writes 0 will more than likely disable it. Usual caveats apply of any modifications being at your own risk and making a back up of the original file before editing it!
  2. Basic aerodynamics. If an aircraft is flying into a headwind it's speed over the ground will be it's airspeed minus the wind speed so for example if an aircraft is flying at 100 kts into a 20 kt headwind it's ground speed will be 80 kts. If you have an aircraft that can fly slowly enough and a strong enough headwind it can be flown in such a way that it is moving backwards over the ground, it is not actually "flying backwards" as it's movement through the air mass is still in a forward direction as it must be to maintain controlled flight. Apparently the AN-2 can be flown as slowly as 25 kts (albeit that it would be descending) so if it were flown at that speed into a wind greater than 25 kts it would be moving backwards over the ground.
  3. It would be nice if the overhead client window could remember it's position, it always opens full screen on my main monitor and I have to resize and drag it to my second monitor every time I open it. Any possibility this could be implemented in a future version?
