• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A little help please

My upper menu, showing the down arrow when the cursor is placed at the top of the msfs screen, stopped showing. How do I get it back on?:dizzy:

Also the instruments that show in external mode don't show. How are they turned back on?:dizzy:

Appreciative of any help.

Problem partially solved

Emptying the community folder brought back both the upper menu and external view instruments.:jump:

Now to isolate the cause by adding back in the addons.

I think odd things are happening with MSFS at the moment.
2 days ago everything was ok.
Yesterday, I started MSFS with no changes between the days, by me, & I found the 'Assistance' settings had changed overnight.
I have most of them turned off normally.
The overlay display on the screen of your height, speed etc, [HUD?] was on. I always have it off.
I changed the settings back to how I could remember I had them, restarted MSFS & in the boot up it asked me to reinstall MSFS Standard Edition!
I backed out of that & booted again & this time it was all ok, so I don't know what was going on.

With my extraordinary flight sim precognition, I see a quick fix on the short term horizon.

I have experience many of the abnormalities (or maybe they are normalities?) you have experience. From reading flight sim forums we are not alone.
 
The non-synch situation was short lived.
Restoring all previous community files did not cause the upper toolbar or instrument readouts to fail.:dizzy:

All is well now.

Have you tried signing out and resigning into your MS account. That's sort of like the turn it off then back on. Amazing how fixes things so often.
