Thanks for your reply Dan, that is not a bad idea, i may well do that! as far as i have seen so far, there are no conflicts and everything seems to be well other than the missing display.I use a low-tech solution but it may be helpful as you start out. You can find the pf3_disp.dat file which is located in your PF3\PF3_Displayer folder, open it with a text editor, and print the file. This will list the default hotkey functions according to the ATC facility you are tuned to. As Dave mentioned you need to be sure there are no hotkey conflicts with MSFS or other add-ons you may be running. I think it's best to start out with CP Mode 2 so VCP handles the comms.
Edit: I changed this setting as it was on #0 as i wanted to do it all myself, but on reflection, i believe it is best to let my trusty copilot take it over until i am more familiar with the software.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks again! i did read about that in the manual i believe, i will give it a go and see how i get on with it, it seems to be exactly what i am looking for! I did see a youtube video where the display was in-game and listed all the numbered options which is what it sounds like this does?Alternatively you may wish to take a look at Web Display, which will give you what you need in a browser window.
You can arrange for it to be autostarted by PF3 in Options#2, Advanced Options: Then you simply open 'localhost:7339' in your choice of browser and it will show the currently available commands as your flight progresses.
You will find documentation in the folder 'PF3_Displayer\PF3_WEB_Display' within your main PF3 folder, but the defaults should get you started.
Hope this helps,

Edit: Reading the tooltip says that this option is for a networked pc or same pc with a second monitor, i only have a single monitor and no other pc to use so i cannot use this option?
