Hi,
I recently installed Live Cockpit on my PC, I made sure it's in it's own folder on my C: drive. Here's my problem. After initial set up and adding the additional profiles from Avsim, I went ahead and set up a specific aircraft for a flight (CS757 200) After ending the flight yesterday I went to set up another flight today. When I clicked on the FDC Live Cockpit icon I got the splash screen, but the aircraft set up options weren't there. The program icon was on my task bar but I couldn't get it to enlarge. In FSX the option was there to connect to Live Cockpit, but that was all, I still couldn't bring up the options screen to change profiles.

Make a copy of your fdc.ini file, then delete it and restart fdc.... See of that helps

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

I am also having a problem getting FDC to start, and I am relatively new to the software. I have purchased and downloaded FDC and installed FSUIPC4. The first time I started FDC I got the flash screen and an option regarding updates. This was answered, the flash screen disappeared and nothing happened. Nothing showing in task manager. I repaired the installation, I have amended the INI file from full stop to comma and I have deleted the INI file. Nothing has changed. I am running FSX with W7P and it works well.

Have I missed something on this learning curve.

I should perhaps mention I have a Spanish keyboard and the default KB language is Spanish, because that is where I am (EXPAT).

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Try downloading and installing the latest cumulative updates package from the support forum. When doing do please ensure you stop all other programs, especially your anti virus and any other security type programs you might have.

Good advice, I started by unloading from the PF directory, cleaned up with my favourite Registry cleaner and re-installed to E:/FDC. I download the manual update package, which installed ok, & bingo I have now entered the learning curve again.

Many thanks

PS - and I just found the box to tick for notifying replies. (thought it would be found in the profile section)
