RE: Problems with AFPD on new PC
As far as your AFPD setup, it looks like it is running fine. On your question about some greyed out graphics settings e.g clouds, etc, these features are only available for 3D computer-generated sceneries, not photosceneries. Sometimes, blanking can be caused by cabling issues. How long is your cable from the PC to the monitor? Are you using a DVI or VGA cable? Transmitting full hd resolutions (1920x1080 ) using a DVI cable can cause problems. Have you tried using a normal VGA cable, using the VGA input of the monitor?
