Thanks Pete, That makes sense to me because that is the way I have been using it for the past 4-5 years. I saw the other posts regarding black screens and thought it was the same thing. What I have not done until now is make mouse macros. I guess this is where I am missing something. On page 38-39 of the manual it talks about creating the mouse traps...."and whenever you click the mouse or use the wheel, on any part of the screen where FSUIPC thinks it might be able to provide a control, you will get a multiline message popping up on the screen...." The example is with the kingair. Do I not have to be able to see the screen and the panel to do this? This is why I thought the screen should not be black. Hopefully this isn't another stupid question!!!!! Dave Willson

Hello, Have the same issue with my system, when I click on FSUIPC the window goes black and FSUIPC opens. I can manipulate things in FSUIPC but can't see my panel, Nothing I have seen in the forums has worked for me. My video card is a GTX580 and I have the latest Nvidia drivers for it. I have tried windowed mode and full screen mode and still not change, I have ensured that the resolution is the same in both windows and FSX. Don't know if these would make a difference, I have my screen over three monitors with tripleheadtogo. I have FSX on its own hard drive, FSUIPC.dll is in the modules folder on the drive that has FSX. Am running in windows 7. Interestingly enough, I have two other computers networked and I use them to run the gauges on my home cockpit panel. One of these computers still has FSX loaded on it from before I upgraded to my latest Jetline System PC. When I went back to that computer to see how things use to be, the same issues is there with the black screen when I open FSUIPC. Any suggestions would be great!!! I must be doing something stupid that I don't realize!!! Thanks Dave Willson
