Good morning all: For some unknown reason, I have been unable to login on the FS2002 Forum.. Maybe someone here can help me..
I have been using FS2002 for about two weeks now.. I also have FS98 installed..
Problem...In FS2002 I have been unable to access the pull down menu Bar at the top of the display, the menu items Flights, Aircraft, World, etc. I have searched all through the setup, help files, Index and find no mention on how to access this menu..
I'm sure this menu is hideing in there somewhere because there are referances to it throughout the online help and elsewhere. I think it has something to do with the display resolution and/or the full screen function.. I cant figure it out.. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks: Bill

Hi Bill. FS2002 is in Full Screen mode by default. Hit the Alt key to bring up the menu bar.

Alt + Enter toggles between Windows & Full Screen mode. This is the same in all M$ sims including FS98.

I can't think why you can't access the FS2002 forum.

Think I already said that Commoner but thanks for confirming it. Wink

I've met plenty of people who've had FS98 since it was released without realising you could use it in Full Screen mode. When I enlightened them they saw what they'd been missing all those years.

The same thought had occurred to me. Roll Eyes

???

I didn't move it so don't blame me. I'm not a mod & don't have the power to do that. Tongue

Thanks Hagar and everyone for the input.. Its amazing how foolish you can feel, when a two week old headache is solved with a single keystroke..
Regarding the FS2002 forum non-access, Ican get into it and read it, I just cant open the "start new topic" window..
Thanks to all: Bill
