Just updated to 1.2.7 and the Huey just gets better and better. Can anybody help me Toggle the new Crew Status Indicator on and off. Page 137 of the manual says this can be done with LWin+H if SHOW HINTS AT MISSION START option is set in OPTIONS>SPECIAL. I have done this but the toggle command does not appear to function as advertised. What am I doing wrong? It's usually me!!!

I'm pretty new to this, tried a search with no luck. Anybody point me in the right direction? I have the joystick position, or controls indicator displayed using RCTRL ENTER. All is well apart from the gear and brakes indications. I assume the two small white dashes at either side of the controls indicator represent the landing gear. Whist A-10C on the ground I notice that using the left brake causes the white dashes to flicker like crazy, like the gear cannot decide if it is up or down! Using the right brake peddle has not such effect. Both brakes show the proper red triangular shaped indications (larger with increased pressure as I would expect). I have CH Rudder peddles bound to the wheel brakes. Just can't work out why the white gear indicators flicker when I left brake!
