[Aircraft colours not saving]

Tks, but have done that and it still switches over to the dreaded magenta. John

[Aircraft colours not saving]

I have changed the default colour of the aircraft symbol on the world map, but it is not saving or changing the colour of the aircraft. It keeps defaulting to magenta, which I hate, too hard to see. I am starting in administrator mode. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[X Plane demo version]

Will the X plane 11 version have a 30 day trial like the P3D version? Thanks.

[Destination bearing]

Hi

Is there any way to show the updated waypoint/bearing on the display unit as the bearing usually changes because of the wind (or bad flying). I can get the distance on the Flight Information System but I cannot find the current bearing.

 

Thanks

John

[Cannot save or activate flight plan]

Solved. My cruise altitude was 0 feet. It pays to RTM. Thanks.

[Cannot save or activate flight plan]

Hi

I have updated to the latest version. When I create a flight plan KSKA - KEAT, the display unit will not allow me to activate or save the flight plan. Other plans seem to be OK.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

[How to "Activate" Moving Charts?]

OK problem solved ... not exactly sure what was causing it but many FSX assigned Keyboard keys are in conflict with the default keys shown on the shortcuts page. Interestingly, the Moving Map was not one of them.

I am glad someone else is having a problem with shortcuts. I have posted several messages but all I get told is to make sure that FSX has the focus. Well I tried that and sometimes the shortcuts work, but most of the time they don't. It's very frustrating.

[Problems with shortcuts]

I am having trouble getting the shortcuts to work. Usually they will work once, and then they will not work again. Yes, I have a chart open and FSX has the focus. Is anyone else having this problem?

[Display Unit hotkey?]

Urs

Thanks. I click on the FSX window to give it the focus and then I hit Ctrl Shift F11 to open the DU. Usually it opens but then it won't open again. Am I missing something?

 

Tks

[Display Unit hotkey?]

Does the Display Unit have a hotkey to turn the map on and off whilst running FSX? I can get the onscreen menus with CTRL Shift F9 in the DataProvider, but the Moving Map shortcut of Ctrl Shift M does nothing.

 

Many thanks.

[Moving map in free flight?]

I have worked out the first two but how to I enable chart following? Many thanks.

[Moving map in free flight?]

1. Will the moving map work in the free flight mode, ie if you dont create a flight plan and just fligh from A to B.

 

2. Also, how many hours until the 20% discount expires.

 

Many thanks.
