Well, I selected the Cessna 172 and since there were three lines I chose the top one. > those disappear when the view direction isn't straight ahead (click > the left mouse button when in mouse view mode to reset the view - > cycle mouse mode with the right mouse button). When I click the mouse in the screen then it all goes haywire! The screen and/or controls all start moving (fast) with any mouse move I make!

I don't know what you mean by "default" c172p. I come to a screen "Select an aircraft" where there are a lot of different possibilities. They seem to be grouped by short identifiers (like c172p) but for each there are several lines with readable descriptions. The top one for c172p is: "Cessna 172P Skyhawk (1981 model), 2D panel" Is the default the top one in each category? Anyway, there is a 3rd line with the same name except no "2D panel" at the end. If I select this then the hat switch panning actually includes the instrument panel in the move, so it is not lost. A more realistic panning actually! :-) However, my earlier remark about the size of the panel still remains. How can I make it reduce in height so that it is possible to look out the window and see the ground without getting into a steep descent? With the 2D panel the keyboard Shift-P toggled the panel on/off at least so that one could see the ground in level flight. How can this be accomplished with the non-2D panel??? /BosseB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
