nadlzfw Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hello! I recently noticed something different. It used to be, when looking at the map, there would be a small window pop-up whenever my cursor hovered over a feature on the map. For example, with the cursor hovering over a VOR, it would show the ID, frequency and type of the VOR. Very handy! But now, this doesn't work any more. Hovering the cursor does nothing. To get the details, I have to click on the feature. Any idea why this changed, and how to restore it? It is common to all aircraft I've tried. I know it's a minor irritation, but it is annoying when things are different for no apparent reason. I can't think of anything I've done that might have caused this. It happened about the time I installed a new airplane, but I can't imagine how adding an airplane folder affected the map (the new airplane was installed manually, not with a .exe). Thanks!

tiger1962 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Zoom in once or twice then try again. Some features will only show when you zoom in. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

ColR1948 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Also on the map there are icons at the top, have you disabled any of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoratioWondersocks Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Also on the map there are icons at the top, have you disabled any of them? Hello Good point! I haven't used the default 9 map for at least 83 years, but I do remember that if info was missing it was because the icons you mention had been deselected. Cheers A.

old_wombat Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Have you also looked at : Settings -> General -> Show cockpit ToolTips ? Steve from Murwilllumbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadlzfw Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 thanks to all, but... Zoom in or out does not help. I tried all the buttons at the top, no help. tool-tips is 'on'. Nadlzfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is a long shot, but it could be a vid driver issue; have you updated those lately? Tooltips are created as overlays and many drivers have options for how these are handled; I recall a thread on this with FSX but cannot find it now.

nadlzfw Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks to all who responded. As it happens, the map magically returned to normal a week or two ago. I haven't the slightest idea why or how. Nadlzfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
