Couple of days since upgrading from FS9 and I'm rattled by a few things:

The latest is saving display settings. So far every time I start the program or a new flight, my display/graphics/realism etc settings are all gone.

What's up with that? I've tried saving to .CFG file as prompted (something that was unnecessary in FS9) but that seems to be meaningless as loading a saved config seems to have no actual effect on settings. Also as far as I can tell, the display settings screen is only accessible from in-flight.

Also...when i hit the space bar to return my view to centered/forward , it works maybe once in ten attempts...

Menu bar: it seems to take about 3 mouseclicks to make the menu bar disappear in full-screen mode. Is there a shortcut?

Im using the "Gold" version, which was recommended for Windows 7

Any help or links to ironing out newbie bugs appreciated.

So far I'm underwhelmed.... 😕

Hi Radar, Does the save button apply to the other settings, specifically 'controls'? I'm having a problem of having my controls flipping back and forth b/w my CH yoke and my Saitek Quadrant. (Didn't have this problem before on my old computer). Thanx!

If you can't save the settings the regular way try this.

...if I understand you correctly: Hold down the Alt key until the menu bar disappears - takes about 2 -3 seconds.
