Loss of instrument panels

Post by marcus »

Parents parents parents! I don't know, my dad rang me the other day and it would appear that he's lost the instrument panels in fs9 when he's on full screen, although they return when he uses alt+enter, but as soon as he returns to full they've gone. I'm guessing he's clicked on something and can't remember what it was. Any ideas?

tried the w key. I'll have to actually see the PC to see just what I can do, it's not easy having to explain over the phone.

Have you suggested that your father delete the FS9.cfg file and let FS rebuild it? Sometimes that can cure some strange problems. Have him make a backup first and then if the rebuild doesn't work and solve the problem, he can restore the backup.

Thanks airboatr, it was the anti-aliasing that was switched on, unfortunatly at a later stage in the day the PC went pop. Bugger after all that work it's now in for repair. :brick:
