Hi Alan, Thank you ;=)) Yes, on both the hondajet and da42, clicking the first button on the bottom row of each, the PFD, and MFD, DID THE TRICK ;=)) I 'thought' I had tried this before but obviously NOT ;=() And reminding me of the ctrl+c, to highlight the 'clickable' items also helped... I had forgotten this ;=(( So many things/keys to remember... The display is BEAUTIFUL ;=)) Now, even more than before, I want DETAILED, feature rich images ;=)) If only I can find a WMS server to fully oblige... and maybe as some have suggested, that could be the online, if available, 'source' of the display... And/or convince Atlas/Map to also add airport/navaid overlays onto the maps, like it did in the past... either as an option to Map, during the map creation, or have a capability in Atlas to dump the maps-with-nice-detailed-overlays to disk... BUT ANYWAY, TAR MUCHLY ;=)) Just a idle thought... lots of aircraft could benefit from having such PFD/MFD displays... maybe as a sort of hand held device you carry on board, without all the modes/autopilot features, since we do need to keep the 'realism' of only what exists in each aircraft at manufacture... Sort of like a 'super' hand-held GPS device... or maybe we have that already??? Have downloaded your TSR2.zip - quite a slow download, but no problem - and thank you. I assume I unzip this into a new folder - <fgdata>/Aircraft/TSR2 and looking forward to trying this also as soon as time allows... Many thanks again...
