Ray Hff Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Somehow I've lost the F10 function to bring up the 2D cockpit for any aircraft. The F10 key is assigned to the 2D cockpit view in my controls section. Nothing happens if it is pushed. I can cycle to the 2D cockpit view on any aircraft with the "A" key; but, nothing happens if I push the F10 key. I tested the keyboard and the F10 key is functioning in other programs. Any thoughts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You seem to have an "ongoing" problem here! https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?279779-F10-2D-Panel-Gone Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Hff Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 In the case you cited from 2 years ago, a reboot and reload of a diffent flight solved everything. This time, not so. I have the necessary Hot Key 2 entry in my cfg file. I can cycle to the 2D view with the A key; but it will not come up with the F10 key. Alternate Hot Key entries have been known to cause similar situations; thus the solution coming from loading a different default flight. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case here. No joy as of now and I'm wide open to other ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Anything new installed since the last time F10 worked correctly? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Hff Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I loaded an old rotorcraft flight and that seems to have resolved it, Why I do not know as I did try several other aircraft earlier. As for when F10 stopped working, it might have been weeks ago as I rarely ever use the 2D cockpit. As for other things being installed, I'm always trying out new aircraft. One could have caused the situation hours ago or for that matter weeks ago. Odds are that one or the other changed the hotkey assignments. Which one, I may never know. Thanks for your advice.

Ray Hff Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Lesson learned. The aircraft that altered the Hotkeys was a version of a Douglas C-47. (I had gotten rid of the Hotkey alterations on the main aircraft but not on two other versions.) The lesson I've learned is that the Hotkey alterations are not reset by merely loading another aircraft. Nor are they reset by just loading a correctly functioning previously saved flight. Apparently, the only way to reset them is to completely close FSX and then reopen it with a correctly functioning flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
