September 5, 200718 yr I have a dual monitor set up, on which I use an extended Windows desktop. So far so good.For FSX however I just want to use the primary monitor. Whenever I load FSX in full screen mode however, it "grabs" both screens. Is there a way to tell FSX to just use the primary monitor without resorting to windowed mode? That way I can use FS Commander and Navigraph without having to minimise FSX.Anyone know?Thanks.
September 5, 200718 yr Don't open FSX in full screen, then rezise the window into 1 screen. I think thats the solution...

September 5, 200718 yr Yeh i would like to know this too... i'll have my second screen next week. sorry that i cant help.
September 5, 200718 yr I use dual monitor, full screen, and Jeppesen Simcharts has an option to let it "float" ontop of the blacked out secondary monitor (not that I really use it). I also use the secondary monitor for radio stack, atc and so on. I assume this is what you would like to do, just with FSCommander & Navigraph?I think it would require a "float ontop" function within those programs, or a 3rd party utility application thing (...ehm) that would make that happen. As far as I know it's not possible by just changing FSX settings.Aleks
September 5, 200718 yr What's so bad about windowed mode? FS Commander will have a title bar just the same and at least you can get rid of the menu bar in FSX by holding down the ALT key.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
September 7, 200718 yr What about going to your graphics-card settings and then select single-display for your FS9 session? Thats what I do with my dual-monitor setup and then select the dual display when Im done playing FS9! :)
