On a serious note it really is not a good idea to run fsx in window mode. I understand alot of you do for other reasons but this does cause issues within fsx full stop. For example scenery confliction and texture dissapearance. If you have any aerosoft scenery in then you will know what i mean.. best to use a second monitor my friends

Not really my friend, I run FSX in windowed mode with complex aircraft and sceney (yes also a lot from aerosoft), and have been for quite some time now, without any issue whatsoever.

Same here, no issues at all in windowed view.

+1 It just depends on your system.

Ok before i start i have the upmost respect for PMDG, So i dont get to fly alot, but today i decided to do a 2.5 hour flight, whilst in the cruise i decided to minamize the screen as i was going to watch a movie with the other half on my dvd player. After the film i knew it was nearly TOD. So decided to maximise screen only to find no cockpit, couldnt change views, all i could see is outside scenery, after 3 atempts of changing views fsx crashed. This has happend 4 times before, you change screen size and the ngx doesnt like it. I realy like fsx, but its things like this that put me off it and make me load the xbox 360 up.Has anyone else had this problem with changing from full screen to a screen where you can see the desktop?? Thanks Danny.

By any chance do you use EZDOK? If so that may be your problem. I have found with EZDOK, if you exit to desktop for any length of time, it's view point will skew away from its normal position away from the cockpit, many times well away from the aircraft itself. To avoid this, before exiting to desktop to do other things, hit the 3 key on the Num pad which will toggle off EZDOK. This will maintain it's position, toggle it back on when you return to FSX. Note, since EZDOK is an external app, if you hit the 3 key again even while in the desktop or other app, it will toggle EZDOK back on.

Not true. I'm running FSX exclusively in windowed mode for well over two years now without any problems whatsoever. While I only have one Aerosoft scenery (Gibraltar X), I can confidently say that I didn't expierence any problems with that one either. There is also no framerate increase for me when I go fullscreen.

I don't agree with you, I have about ALL of the Aerosoft sceneries, have ALLWAYS run FSX in windowed mode and NEVER had an issue because of that. JJJ
