Uncommanded view switching

Post by flugkapitan »

Hi all,

For some reason, tonight when I loaded FS9, the views began to switch without any input from me. The aircraft loads in the 2D cockpit, then cycles to the 3D, then to the tower view, then spot view, back to the 2D and keeps repeating. I tried loading a different aircraft, moving to a different airport, but it made no difference. I also went back to an FS9 cfg file that I saved as a backup, but that didn't help either.

I haven't done anything to the computer or my installation of FS9 since I shut it down last night. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Regards,
Scott

Well, the problem seemed to have solved itself. I rebooted the computer and FS9 loaded normally.

Weird...

In true computer tech style I was going to say, turn it off and then on again. Seems like I could a tech guy after all. That will be £600,000 please!

You are not far from the truth. The last PC I attended with "uncontrollable behaviour" had a stack of papers resting on part of the keyboard. The only thing you have wrong is the fee . . .

Jetset,

The cheque is in the mail :wink:

You mean I can't use the "S" key for an adult beverage holder? :think:

Thanks you guys,
