lost my slew

[hurricane3]

For some reason I can't use slew mode anymore.I don't know if a Microsoft update is the culpret or what.I had'nt flown for a while and it took an hour to boot up the program and it had the same message thats there when you download new scenery but I had'nt downloaded any new scenery.
I always disable my joystick when in slew other wise the plane goes crazy,but now it just sits there with the lat and longitude accross the top like normal but the slew sign keeps flashing instead of staying on.I don't remember if it flashed before or not.
I don't want to do a system restore cause I usually lose something and to delete the config file means I would have to reset everything, and since I can move the aircraft in map mode it's not worth all the trouble.
So if there's an easy fix I'd like to know ,if not then I'll live with out slewing.Thanks

Found the problem, somehow all the slew commands were cleared, so I reset them and now I can use the slew again. It was very late last night and I never thought to check the slew commands. Sorry about that

I was just going to say... Check the keyboard assignments.

I once had a problem with the slew in my sim....somehow "slew" had been replaced by "slaw" and every time I pressed the Y key, shredded cabbage would go flying all over the place. Luckily I am one who finds fresh homemade slaw to be a good topper for grilled hamburger patties...so I had a rather tasty summer that year.

Mind you Matt, with your recent history of PC problems, the day will come when you press the button and your screen tilts downwards - Skew Mode.

[Matt Wynn]

Skew Mode.... not to be confused with that 18+/Adult feature.... Screw Mode, where your PC starts getting all 'frisky' and wanting to hop on your lap
