Culled from various posts, here is a quick summary of some fixes that may or may not work for you. Neither myself or any of the original participants in the threads can GUARANTEE that these will work.

Any file editing is done at your own risk! Back up your stuff, and if you are not familier with editing files, it's probably best to wait.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Practices
* I'd strongly recommend reinstalling from the auto-installers. Yeah, a full reinstall is a pain if you are on a dial-up, but it insures you have the latest files and that the old ones are overwritten or erased. Old files have been known to create black borders on the windscreen and around the panels.

* Watch your FSUIPC! The fresh installs may (and probably will) overwrite your newer FSUIPC with an older 2.xx edition. You should download the latest version from Pete Dowson and have it on file. Bad FSUIPC's will lead to blacked out displays.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dash-8

* Torque Gauge - No fix yet. PSS investigating.
* Black Borders - Be sure to remove ALL the old files that may still be there from a FS2002 install, and reinstall from the auto-installer. This seems to work for most people.

Airbus A319/320/321

* Flickering Mouse and Slow Panel Performance - Forum participant Bruce set up the following code to be entered on a Airbus panel file!

File: fsroot\aircraft\pssab-pro\panel\panel.cfg
Scroll down to the Window8 section, and make it look like this...

(Window8) <--square brackets
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=0,0
position=0,0,0,0
visible=1
ident=59

gauge00=PSS-A320!Server, 0, 0, 1

This should drastically improve your panel performance. Thanks to Mak for discovering this interaction and Bruce for the elegant solution.

* Can not rotate and liftoff - Forum participant David notes that it takes tons of UP trim to take off. Looking at your flight surfaces ECAM screen, add UP trim to a level anywhere between -2.5 and (in my case) -5.0! Up, up, and away! I presume the amount of trim depends on your weight, altitude, and flight conditions.

* Thrust Reversers Not Working - Forum participant Paul pointed out that he saw that adding a flag to the aircraft.cfg file enables the reversers.

File: fsroot\aircraft\PSSA319\aircraft.cfg
File: fsroot\aircraft\PSSA320\aircraft.cfg
File: fsroot\aircraft\PSSA321\aircraft.cfg

Use Windows NOTEPAD, perform a "FIND" on the word "reverser". You should get ONE hit on a line...

reverser_available=0.000000

Change that to read...

reverser_available=1.000000

And you should have reverse thrust capabilities. You can stop now that you can fly!

Airbus A330

* Cannot download ("Cannot Connect To Data Server" error) - Yup, PSS is aware, and if it hasn't been cured yet, rest assured they are working on it.
