Hi Jack,Just tried the maximiser and to be honest it wastes more pixels than the title bar at the top of the page. It may get rid of the title bar but it ends up putting a frame about 4 pixels wide all the way around the edge of the screen which loses you more pixels than the title bar in my opinion.

Cheers, Andy.

Some good news on the iPad/Air Display and FSX front, I've figured out how to keep the gauges working (they no longer turn black) with a sneaky and simple workaround. All you have to do is make sure a couple of pixels from the gauge remain on the main display. Here is a picture to illustrate what I mean, its a screen capture of just the bottom right hand corner of my main monitor, it really is a small price to pay aesthetically to get the gauges working with FSX and the iPad.iPadAirDisplay.jpgAs long as you leave these few pixels in place on the main display the gauge remains visible on the iPad and you can resize your windowed undocked gauge so that it fits nicely on the iPad screen in Air Display. It works a treat and the touch screen functions perfectly :( I've only tested it with the ACARS/moving map gauge that comes with FS Flight Keeper so far, but I tell you its almost as if that gauge was made to work with the iPad/touch screen, it works wonderfully.And another tip, if you use the external FPS limiter then you have probably noticed that when you enable a second screen/monitor that the frame rate drops in half exactly. The simple fix is to double the frame rate limit and all is well again. So if you normally lock your frame rate at 30 with the external fps limiter simply set it to run at 60fps instead and in FSX it will actually still run at 30fps.I've even used the same trick with the FSX ATC window so it pops up on the iPad screen instead and I can choose the options by directly clicking on them with my finger rather than using the mouse, its brilliant :( Just remember to assign a button on your joystick or yoke to hide the ATC window when you have finished with it and Bobs your uncle your back to the other gauge.

Cheers, Andy.

I found that I had to start AirDisplay after FSX. Otherwise the AirDisplay program closes DirectX (the notes say that's what happes) and it does, then the game crashes. Does anyone else have this issue, because I am exploring joining a VPN as an alternative. SimTouch has its own UI which I really don't want. I want to slide my CDU or Garmin onto iPad and use it as a touchscreen from there.

KInd regards,
