Hi all,

Hope your day went well for all of you! Mine consisted of 6 hours of ATPL Met study, so in order to relieve some stress I decided to jump in the PMDG 1900D and do a quick little trip from NZWF to NZQN via the Cardrona valley. Thanks to Ian Warren and Trolly who who had earlier helped me to resolve the Orbx SI texture issues.

Enjoy,
ScottyB

They're a damnuisance at times - this is in my FSX.CFG:

[Display]
ChangeTime=4.000000
TransitionTime=4.000000
ActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
ActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=0,28,140,64
NonActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
NonActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=24,33,87,64
InfoUpperRightTextColor=255,0,0
InfoUpperRightBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0

InfoLowerLeftTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerLeftBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoLowerRightTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerRightBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoBrakesEnable=True
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True
InfoPauseEnable=True
InfoSlewEnable=True
InfoStallEnable=True
InfoOverspeedEnable=True

I strongly suspect if you made the text colour the same as the background colour, the message would become invisible. I haven't tried this.
Can't find anything corresponding in my FS9.cfg, but there is a fix to hide the BRAKES messages on most of the main sites, so there must be a similar logic to disappear the others.

EDIT: Found it
SUMMARY
When you apply the brakes in Flight Simulator, the screen displays a message.
RESOLUTION
To disable this message, open the FS9.CFG file which is available in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9

Add the following to the [SIM] section of the FS9.CFG File

show_brake_message=0

and for the others:

Q) How can i get rid of this red message bars ?

A) Open up fs9.cfg with notepad scroll down to [main] and add this entry after the last one in the group

"HideInfoText=1" //without quotes

This removes all red messages

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Are you using the 'Shade' addon Scotty?

Hi Timmo, well I do have Shade, however it has been causing "flickering" off runway centre lines etc recently (well, I think the culprit is Shade). Normally to use it, I click on the Shade.exe on my desktop, which then starts FSX and injects Shade into it. I am almost 100% sure I started up FSX without Shade before this flight (didn't ant flickers), but these shots really look like it was activated doesn't it?

Sorry I can't be more of a help!

If the shade dll is in your FSX route directory it should load with FSX.exe everytime. I thinks its shift-F9 or F12 to toggle it on and off in the sim.

EDIT, I was thinking of the EMB series shader, disregard.
