Ctrl+Shift+F12 - no menu and error sound
« on: November 25, 2018, 11:53:12 am »
When I press CTRL+Shift+F12 to display the GSX menu it doesn't appear and a Windows sound plays. I've also tried to show it via the Add-ons GSX menu but still the same result.

P3D v4.3, Windows 10 Pro and additional GSX module running. Restart of Couatl doesn't fix it. No key mapping in P3D is assigned to that combo. I switched to CTRL+Shift+F11 (also free in P3D) but got the same result. Same problem with default aircraft.

Baffled. Would a log help?
Cheers,
Ray.

User error! The GSX notifications weren't appearing along the top of the screen. I deleted Prepar3D.cfg due to another problem and once a new one was generated I tried the Shift+CTRL+F12 again.

It failed but then a message appeared saying parking brake not set. Set it and problem solved. Embarrassed!  ;D
Cheers,

You probably disabled this option in the sim:

Option->Information->Message Text

which will disable all the green line message (from ALL 3rd party apps). Resetting the Prepar3d.cfg to default restored the option to its default enabled status.
