FSX plays sounds depending on which window view is currently in focus. Only clicking within the 3D

portion of the window selects focus, not when you click on a 2D panel. (Since 2D panels can be opened

in any view window.)

“I’m using custom scenery and I find that the ‘Fuel Purchased’ dialog opens the moment I land

anywhere. Why is this and how do I prevent it?”

It has been observed that some custom scenery has been created incorrectly and includes large areas

where automatic refuelling takes place, rather than restricting it to a small area near the fuel pump

objects. You can prevent the ‘Fuel Purchased’ dialog from opening by creating a text file in “My

Documents\Flight Simulator X Files” called “DodoSim 206 FSX_debug.cfg” and adding the line

NOAUTOFUELPURCHASEDIALOG=YES to it and then re-loading the helicopter in FSX. Note that you

will still be charged for the fuel added, but the dialog will not open to tell you.

“Sometimes it seems to stop working. Switches do not respond and other functions stopped

working as they should. What’s happening?”

It has been observed that occasionally the SimConnect server in FSX, (with which the DodoSim 206

FSX communicates), stops communicating. The DodoSim 206 FSX attempts to detect this condition

and flashes the red “SC FAIL” annunicator light, however rectifying this is unfortunately out of the

control of the DodoSim software. The only solution is to restart FSX. Prior to doing so, you may wish to

enter slew mode, move your helicopter to the ground, (press F1 to decrease altitude), and save the

flight so you can carry on where you left off once FSX has restarted.
