Brand new owner of the cub, do I need a patch or update?

Post by ramjet »

Hi Cub fans,

I believed all of you who said I'd love it so I got it and and I do. I am flying in the Alaskan wilds right now and the cub is well suited. In my early flights all of the Shift+ number pop-ups displayed and allowed me to choose, also I had several click points in the cabin. Now I hit Shift+ and the pop-up outline flashes then disappears. This only occurs the first time I Shift+ on a number then there is no response at all and window and door clickpoints only . No passenger, No fuel, No maintenance.....I didn't try the map.

Accusim is engaged and I can hand start. Shift+e opens/closes the door and Shift+w raises/lowers the rudder. It seems to only be Shift+ number.

Anyone else had this happen, what do I need?

I'd appreciate your help,

good flights, Cal

Hi Scott,

I loaded the patch and hot fix then followed the link to Direct X reinstall. I restarted FSX and selected the 172. The problem was still there. I then wondered about the transparency setting and since I couldn't access the cub's control windows, I went to my FSX settings and opened aircraft. You were right, somehow the transparency had slid to 100% and I never touched it. I slid it to 0% and restarted. So far everything is restored and working. I am starting my flight in a strong wind in Ketchikan Harbor in my float plane with tie down on and it is much smoother. I'm off to enjoy a flight with my fully functioning cub. Thanks again.

good flights, Cal
