Fullscreen only for me. I find it ruins immersion to have title bars and things on the screen, and I also get better performance than in windowed mode. I have a laptop next to me when flying for doing whatever.

Full screen for me (1920 x 1200). Frames/Sec higher by 15+ frames in full screen versus windowed on my system.

Full Screen and never switch out of FSX. I have a laptop on the side if I need to check for a chart or map or something else (like AVSIM).

No, because I use charts on another PC (using Synergy+) - so I need to run windowed mode... sometimes I'll browse the net on a longer flight.

 

And because my fps are better and from what I can see stutters less in windowed mode.

Full Screen 3 monitors Nvidia 2d surround.

Laptop on side for Skyvector.com

Ipod running Foreflight 4.5

EFB connected via bluetooth using FSUPIC for USA VFR Charts,TAC's, Low/High Enroute IFR and geo-reference IAP

 

So, yes full screen

Have you tried DisablePreload=1 (rather than set to 0)? This helps with alt-tab switching.

Full screen for me. I get better frame rates with full screen. I have the outside view on 1080p monitor and 2d panels on a smaller 1080p monitor. Sometimes I use just one of the monitors and fly with the virtual cockpit. BTW I've been wondering what would happen if the screens were not the same resolution.

WIndowed so I can see FS Commander and anything else I want on monitor #2. I know of the little bat file that enables full screen and use another monitor, but I'm too lazy or habituated to use it.

 

cheers,

Windowed mode(pause on task switch disabled) so I can enter the route in fmc, read terminal and weather charts, checking the metar on destination and for surfing the web during long flights.

Full screen only; I put everything I need in the kneeboard.

Fullscreen here too! It runs s lot smoother for me. I use a second monitor for the 2D popups (GPS, overhead, etc.)

Lol how can you be too lazy, you just make a .bat which opens both FSX and the fake-fullscreen.exe (and all your other programs!!) and run that instead of shortcut to FSX

I know, right? Pitiful. After posting, however, I realized the ridiculousness of it, found the file and now am running full screen (mostly)...

 

best,

Full screen with a networked laptop where I run AS2012, Aivlasoft EFB, xPax, IvAp...very happy with this setup!

I run fullscreen because I feel that the immersion factor is much greater. I don't want to see the rest of my desktop...
