Hidden menus

**Arachdee** · 03-11-2008, 11:14 AM

Hi. I'm new to flightsim forums but have been an avid flight sim fan since fs98. I just upgraded to fsx and am still stunned by the "WOW" factor.
Okay, here's my question. When I undock a view (because I like flying in spot plane mode and have the instrument panel visible) the menus at the top of the screen are hidden "behind" the undocked view. It never happened in the previous versions. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Thanks, Rick

Press the Alt key momentarily to display the top menu bar.
Press and HOLD the Alt key for 2 seconds to hide the top menu bar.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I tried the Alt key but no success.
Maybe I should clarify that I can see the menu headings (File, Aircraft, World, etc.) but when I click on an item, the drop down menu always goes behind the undocked view and the only way to see the drop down menu is to move the undocked view out of the way. I guess I'll just have to get use to flying from cockpit view.
