CRJ_simpilot Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I use windowed mode so that I can utilize both of my monitors. One monitor has the Sim, the other LittleNavMap. When I right click in the Sim and select hide the add-on bar or what ever it's called, I have to do it twice to make it disappear. Anyone have this issue? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

Anyone have this issue?Hello, Regardless in any mode of display for the sim, it will require you to "right click" twice to clear the Alt menu. I had also discovered that if you press and hold the ALT button for a couple seconds when the menu bar is displayed it will dissapear as well.

napamule2 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 +1 'Press 'Alt' key for 2 seconds. WHY, oh WHY, would anyone go to the menu to do anything that simple. Or to change views. Use the shortcut keys for any/all operations. Cheesh! But the reason it takes 2 clicks may be that 1st right click changes 'Focus' to that window if you have be mouseing or clicking on the 2nd monitor (does nothing else) and the 2nd right click (on 1st monitor or main window) brings up the 'Context' menu. The other method is to press (tap) alt key and right click to bring up the menu. Much easier to hold 'Alt' key for 2 seconds don't you think. Windows has alway had 3 different methods (key combo, etc) to do the same thing. We then 'get used to' doing things using one of the three (or more) methods. Not that there is anything wrong with that. As long as it works - right? Cheers.

CRJ_simpilot Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I right click the screen and select hide menu bar. Menu bar doesn't disappear. I do it again and menu bar disappears. I'll try that ALT key trick. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

napamule2 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It is not a 'trick'. It is listed in the FSX's 'Key Commands' list. 'Alt' key is 'Menu (display/hide)'. Have you got the FSX Key Commands? Didn't think so (hehe).

budreiser Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Don't just hit the ALT key but hold down (for a sec maybe) until it appears (or disappears). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
