Has anyone ever had the problem of the disappearing menu? Its when the menu bar on top your screen just disappears and there is a vacant spot on the bottom of your window.

I heard it happens when you switch views a lot. It happened to me several times when I used Walk and Follow. Im annoyed that I wasted my money on a good add on that doesn't want to work probably.

Are there any other causes? And most importantly is there a way to fix it?

Forgot to mention that once the toolbar disappears that my FS is bound to crash. No way around it. Once it is gone it crashes in the next few mintues.

Hmm... that is interesting. If it crashes after it disappears, I'm guessing that "pushing the "Alt" key" wouldn't make a difference? Pressing "Alt" will allow the menu to appear. (But as soon as you return back to the flight, it goes again, and you need to repeat the process to get it back)

I don't play windowed mode so the menu is always there. I don't need to press alt or anything. The only way I cant get it back once it disappears is by right clicking

and then unchecking "hide menu". I don't get it back all the time and usually after I do it just crashes.

I'm going to reinstall Walk and Follow, and try and get a screenshot of this.

Ok some im playing around with walk and follow switching views.

Then this is what happens

It was in windowed mode and the top menu disappeared.

There was also a messed up spot on the bottom of the screenshot under the pause bar.

I tried right clicking to get the menu back but that wouldn't work.

I tried pressing Alt and that resulted in FS just turning off.

 

Hope this helps, and I hope there is a solution.

I am also franticly searching for a fix for this. I also believe its something to do with Walk & Follow. I would like to nail this down so I can still have walk and follow and be in windowed mode. Also do you get a black screen when trying to switch from Full Screen to Windowed back to Full screen again. It doesn't happen the first time, but happens after 3 or 4 times. If you get a fix(or I get a fix) please contact me. I really need walk and follow for videos.
