Hello I am very new to Flight gear and I have had this problem emerge after a few days of playing that the buttons at the top of the screen, you start the simulator that give you the help menu and other functions don't load in. This is quite annoying as I can't find the control dashboard for one of the planes aswell as I have to close flight gear completely to load a different plane or scenery. :(

With some AMD cards there is a driver issue that destroys the splash screens and the menu bar in the default theme.
To fix the latter, pass
Code: Select all
--prop:/sim/gui/current-style=0
to FlightGear.

then use F10 to toggle the menu bar on and off...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
