The issue is known to the devs and not forgotten. They can not replicate the problem on any PC they have in the office but search for solution. The suspect was a .net framework 4 but it turned out this was wrong.
I wonder if we guys who have this problem have something in common (like an ATI card lol).

In the meanwhile:
Only active airfields can be clicked. To see active fields right-click on the map and deselect(!) airfields.
Move your mouse pointer to 4 or 5 o'clock from an airfield about half inch away till a pop-up shows telling e.g. "Birthplace1" Double-click this point.

Excellent support, thanks. I can now get a plane, it's tricky but doable. I appreciate the support you guys are giving in whats a very difficult situation. If everyone can stay calm and patient and work together, this will be a great flight Sim one day. By the way I do have an ATI Card, a 4890, maybe that could be it ? I have the latest driver for it. Thanks again !

Cool cool as long as there working on it... i know how to select a plane i always have its just damm annoying on some servers cuz the theory doesnt always work

[Ataros]

Some servers have just a couple of active fields with birthplaces. And it is almost impossible to find them unless you rightclick and deselect 'airfields'. I often forget to do this

makes no difference..

I also have this problem. Clicking directly on the airfield does not work, but clicking in the 4-5oclock position about 3cm out works for me.

I am using a Win 7 Ultimate 64bit OS, Q6600 Processor, Nvidia 580GTX video, 4GB Ram. 30" Moniter with 2560x1600 resolution

Could it be something to do with screen resolution ?

still not working even after deselecting airfields.
seems strange my friend does not deselect and his game works in multi.

he gets a create option which i never do.
im about ready to give up up this game theres no need for this to be so difficult
ive been playing multi player games of all kinds for 15 years and never seen anything
this screwed up.

i valadated the files also found 3 that were updated/fixed but no luck.

I don't know if this is going to help, but you have nothing to lose.

It happens to me that when I select an airfield, the first time click, it becomes selected (a red circle appears if I recall correctly), but no aircraft selection window appears on the right side of the screen. Then i click again over the already selected airfield, and the plane selection window appears.

But this is so obvious that surely you tried already that.
