April 11, 201115 yr Hi,Recently I moved FS2004 from WinXP x86 to Win7 X64.In full screen mode I do have a strange issue. A few of my add-ons have a 'stick-to-FS-window' which run inside FS.For example the P/B application below:The app is selected through the FS menu's. When I select the app in full screen mode, my whole FS display become black and unresponsive. Going to windowed mode, the app window and FS is visible again.In XP I could use these kind of apps/windows in full screen mode.Is this a known issue in Windows 7?Any advice is welcome,Egbert FS2004 SP1 | Windows 7 X64 SP1i7-980X | Gigabyte X58A-UD3R | Nvidia GTX570 1.25GB | 12GB Corsair DDR3 Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

So I assume it's normal.Egbert FS2004 SP1 | Windows 7 X64 SP1i7-980X | Gigabyte X58A-UD3R | Nvidia GTX570 1.25GB | 12GB Corsair DDR3
August 19, 201114 yr This is an issue I'm seeing as well. If I want to open a third party window I have to go into Windowed mode in FS9 first then open the window.

Any advice is welcome,EgbertFS2004 SP1 | Windows 7 X64 SP1i7-980X | Gigabyte X58A-UD3R | Nvidia GTX570 1.25GB | 12GB Corsair DDR3Your FS9 program may not be compatible with Windows 7. As you know, Windows 7 has a lot of security features and it is hoped you disabled UAC and any anti-virus program prior to installation. To be on the safe side, I would also right click the program execution and run it as Administrator. If it has a program .exe after installation, you can try right clicking on it and select the XP compatibility mode. I have several older programs in FSX that will not open in full screen mode and I have to go to windowed mode, change some settings, then go back to full screen. But I have never seen the "black screen" when doing this. Best regards,Jim
August 22, 201114 yr Author Hi Gents, Thanks for your replies.Unfortunately there is no solution for it, but it indeed is only a minor annoyance.Besides that, most of the airports I fly to are AES enhanced and can I use the AES P/B module.
