forestall

Thanks very much, that was it! I should have mentioned it in my question that it was FSX in Win7. I put the check mark back for "Cockpit Tooltips" and the labels came back. It will make learning Autopilot a little easier. I'll probably have lots more questions about that later. Thanks again for the help Keith Ottawa, Canada

I seem to recall when I hovered my cursor over an active control in the cockpit a very readable label would appear telling what the control's function was. Now I'm trying to learn the autopilot system the labels have disappeared. Trying to read the smudged labels that actually on the panel in the cockpit is difficult at best! Anyone know how to get them back? Is this the correct forum to ask for help? Thank you very much in advance Keith Ottawa, Canada
