g3.5 problems
For some reason it won't let me edit the engine thrust on the planes anymore. It worked before, but now there is a gray bar over the numbers. I do have advanced options or whatever it is checked so I can see the thrust, I just can't edit it. Should I reinstall it or is there a quick fix?

RE: g3.5 problems
A few weeks ago I did not shut down my G3.5 properly. I'm not certain what I did wrong, but my guess is that I turned off the computer without closing G3.5 first. Ever since then the plane(I have checked this on 3-4 models) seems to be a foot or two off the ground. When I taxi slow from the runway to the grass the plane does not slow down when it hits the grass. It used to slow down and even stop when it hit grass and I knew to throttle up if I wanted to keep going. Anyone know what correction is needed? I'm sure that removing it and reinstalling it will correct the problem. I prefer to learn something from this.

RE: g3.5 problems

RE: g3.5 problems
I was surprised I never got an answer here. I later contacted Real Flight and was told to first try to reset the faults. "The first thing we will try is restoring defaults - bring up G3 launcher - click additional options - click restore defaults". That worked on my problem. If that did not work I was told to remove and reinstalled.
