Thanks, I couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Hi All, I have recently noticed that whenever I point my cursor at an instrument I get a descriptive flag appear near the cursor. I have obviously done something to switch this behaviour on but I have no clue what that was. Can anyone tell me how to turn these instrument descriptions off, please.

I have been flying the QW757 for some time. Just recently things have changed because I now get a function tag/label displaying when I hover the cursor over a cockpit instrument. Can some one point me in the right direction on how to switch these tags off. I am not sure whether they are an MS Flightsim thing or a QW thing, I just want them gone. Thanks in anticipation.

If by Speedbrake you mean the Spoilers or Lift dumpers then I have no problem arming them and they auto deploy on landing however I do use a joystick to send the key codes to the sim. If I want to use them in the air then I use the mouse to drag them to my required position. Never been a problem.

I agree with the QW choice.

Yes, once we got the Z80 all our dreams came true! :smile:

I would like to add my thanks to howevr. I installed new version couldn't see the tool icon and ran all the way back to the previous #. Now I can re-install the new version and breath a sigh of relief in the knowledge that the globe is still revolving. :smile:

I just went over to Win10 with an FSX install that was commenced when Acceleration hit the scene and hasn't been taken down since. I had no problems with the transition although my add on mix is slightly different to yours. Keep in mind that you can always revert back to Win 7. I don't know the details but from what I gather Win10 will allow users to revert to Win7 for up to 3 months after the Win10 upgrade. Of course if take a complete system backup before upgrading you can rest easy because a return yo Win7 is always possible.

I still have my earlier HOTAS Cougar which lasted more then ten years before I bought a HOTAS Warthog some years ago. You get what you pay for and the Warthog is very well constructed and I am sure it will last a long time (probably longer than me). So I don't think you have any need to worry in that regard.

I am writing using my Dell 3014 right now. You won't regret it, they are luvley jubbley. :smile:

It may be a poor substitute but there is always SimPlates X Ultra for Android.

I have Dell U3014 @ 2560 x 1600 and I am very satisfied with DP connection.

@ AWACS Maybe you should be looking for a DP port as that's the latest and I think the best.

Stan, From memory I think yes, but I normally fly around North America. Its nice to land somewhere in the Northern States, in our summer, and everything is absolutely covered in snow in Flightsim when it is over 110F outside my house, makes one feel cool.

Ah the first day of spring has arrived, thank goodness. Have a good winter all you northern hemisphere inhabitants. On man's fish etc. :smile:
