Ok seems I am back in business! Much thanks for the help with the toolbar, I had to go in and reset each one that was messed up, they are all fine now.
And my performance is back. Hopefully the Steam Integrity check did the trick on whatever was going on yesterday. Just ran about an hour flight in the 172 and it did very good, same flight plan I was running. Will do some more flights today to be sure, and also start tweaking some gfx settings.
Thanks again!
