Oh my god! Thank you Michael! You fixed the same problem I had! I could not figure out how to get the airplane to start. Pressing J started the motor but only while you held it down! Actually for me I had to hold down shift and J, the motor would start but would instantly quit once you let go. I must note that I am using the supplied TacCon controller and not my own radio so this behavior does seem odd to me. Once I edited the TX file for the TacCon associated with the ALpha40 everything works, but it seems I may have to do this with all of the models. FWIW I could never use the reset button on the TacCon: it never did anything, neither did the space bar.

After 2 days, I am finally flying in FSone! I have to say I love it!

[System: Asus P5B-E, Intel P4 3.2ghz, 2gig ram, evga Gforce 7300GS video]

Suggestion: Most 3d based games and simulations allow you to set the resolution that the simulation runs at. For me anything less than 30fps is not really usable. Smaller resolutions usually allow you to get acceptable frame rates on many video cards. From what I can tell, FSone does not have an option to do this. Having this ability might make sense for some systems. Being able to at least determine that the simulation runs well, for instance, at 800x600 but not at 1280x1024 may allow one to determine that they need a better graphics card. $.02

Thanks again

That makes sense. It does appear to be in a constant reset when you go to the field. The messages appear and reappear in the top left corner.

That particlar axis is on my trainer switch and is spring loaded. Axis 1 is not on the edit screen.
