[mdexter 0]

Hi all,I am using Autoit v3 running a script to load fsx in windowed mode but fullscreen, although its great its runs at the desktop resolution leaving like a 2px white border, and I am wanting the window to bleed over the desktop resolution to hide the white borders. Ok here is the script I am using in Autoit, can anyone help me with the changes I will need to add so I can get rid of the white borders??Many thanks in advanceCURRENT SCRIPT FOR FULLSCREEN FSX WINDOWED MODE AT 1920 x 1200 but has a white border, need to add a couple more px to eaacvh edge!!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________#include <WindowsConstants.au3> Dim $fsxWindowName = "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" WinWait($fsxWindowName) macro_fullscreen() Func macro_fullscreen() ; Make the active window fullscreen.

Hi Squishy, I usecd autohotkey and it doesnt load fullscreen.I am wanting a script that will load the window full screen with no borders, does anyone have this for FSX, where there is no white border part. I run 1920 x 1200 and tried several ways but I assume it would be -2 px or something lihe that, does anyone have a script like that for Autoit or Autohotkey, the one from avsim does not go true fullscreen, many thanks anyone.....

Hi,I am the author of the authotkey script mentioned above, and I can assure you that the FSX window (or any window for that matter) will go to full screen without any borders whatsoever by pressing win+F11. You have to make sure however that you have your taskbar set to auto-hide. I am using 1920 x 1200 myself as well, but the script is resolution independent.Maarten

I run at 1920x1200 and use Maarten's script with Autohotkey and I go full screen with no border. Works like a charm.

Hello. I just wanted to mention that I can run fullscreen just fine without auto-hiding the taskbar.9/10 it works fine instantly, the 1/10 time I have to refocus FSX after windows+D to desktop, and it works great :( Thanks btw

So when you say refocus, is that by ALT+TAB back into the FSX screen or clicking the screen, I use an autohide taskbar proggy aswell, it shows like 1px of the wallpaper in the background around the edges.....hmm, again is there a way to make the script -1 px on each edge.Is the script from Autoit, do I simply make that same script an Autohotkey script??Can someone post the script for autohotkey??Many thanks

Hi Mat, (from Vince) No not really, this only removes the windows decoration. It does not oversize the window. Have you tries the equivalent script mentioned in the thread stored in the library? If, that does work, could could try my first script. That one oversize the window, you could then increase the size. Note That I don't have the problem you talk about in the thread. My windowed window is fullscreen. Hi Vince, do you have the original script or could you point me to where I can download the original script and what settings I would need to oversize the window slightly, can anyone help with this script so I can oversize it by a couple of PX each edge.I run 1920 x 1200

Hi Hirgab and others do the following for FSX fullscreen windowed modeCopy the script above and place it into Autoit V3, its a freeware program you can download, then compile the script (right click context menu the file once saved) Then you can also Download taskbar eliminator.This means you have three programs to start:fsx.exetaskbar eliminator.exethe fullscreen script.exeGet a batch file to start all programs at once, this will be the only file you will need to click to make it all happen, fsx will start, taskbar eliminator will hide the taskbar (ALT+T brings it back) and the fullscreen.exeFSX will load the main program, hit fly and FSX will be fullscreen windowed.I wanted this originally to fix the miuse loosing focus in 2D panel when I switched to externals views then came back, the fullscreen windowed mode keeps the sim in focus always.Cheers

Thanks for the response. I figured out how to use Autohotkey. The reason why I am using Window mode is to avoid blackscreens that I get when alt-tabbing or changing weather/time on the menus. However, I find that when I press the window key + F11 to get full-screen, the window refresh that occurs can cause a black screen. Is there any other way where I can maximize my screen space from the beginning without having to refresh my page in any way?
