FS 2000 Professional: Cannot See Runway When Flying the Mooney Bravo IFR (244152)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Professional Edition

This article was previously published under Q244152

SYMPTOMS

When you fly the Mooney Bravo IFR in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Professional Edition, you may have a very limited view of the runway.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are flying the Mooney Bravo IFR in Cockpit view.

The control panel on the Mooney Bravo IFR takes up approximately 80% of the screen when you fly in Cockpit view. This use of screen space is necessary to display all of the instruments on the control panel.

RESOLUTION

You can work around this issue by switching to the Mooney Bravo airplane. The Mooney Bravo airplane does not have as large a control panel as the Mooney Bravo IFR.

If you switch from the Mooney Bravo IFR to the Mooney Bravo you can see more of the runway in Cockpit view, but there are fewer instruments on the control panel.

To change your aircraft to the Mooney Bravo:

  1. On the Aircraft menu, click Select Aircraft.
  2. In the list of available aircraft, click Mooney Bravo, and then click the green check mark.
