I am sorry if this has been raised before however I am having an issue with switching back to FSX with the 737NG loaded.

 

The screen just reverts to a black screen and this also happens if I access FSUIPC and go back to my flight.

 

It only happens with the PMDG 737. I have tried new graphics drivers etc and the problem is still there. Sometimes my VC will flash back up however it is transperant exhibiting strange graphical artifacts.

 

Anyone have this issue?

 

Jason

are you using an external framerater?

Thanks for your reply.

 

I am not using an external limiter for frame rates.

I wouldn't recommend to Alt+Tab FSX. Oh, how many flights I have crashed alttabbing...

Instead use "windowed mode" (Alt+Enter).

Thanks mate. Switched to windowed mode and no further issues.

 

Cheers.

And when you're in windowed mode you can use Alt-TAB all you want. At least, that's what I'm doing.

Is there a way to get rid of the FSX window borders in windowed mode? They annoy me quite badly.

Hans,

 

Its one thing that annoys me too.

 

All I have managed to do is auto hide the task bar however this still leaves the top border.

 

Not sure if there is anything else you can do.

 

Jas

hold ALT, it'll disappear

hold ALT, it'll disappear

Holding ALT makes the menu-bar withing FSX dissapear, but not the windows borders. This leaves you with a stupid blue border with on the top the title bar of the window.

That is annoying, especially when flying during the night, it's much too light. There should be a solution for this...

I have always found windows mode a bit annoying especially when flying at night., but unfortunatly it works better.

 

One small solution is to your appearance settings and make all the windows black.

I always run full screen, and always use alt-enter to switch.. Normally never a problem.

But.....

I did recently have a problem with that, and it was scenery related of all things..

If I run the ORBX CEJ4 scenery, I have trouble switching back and forth. It will

hang for long periods going from windowed back to full screen.

Why it does that, I dunno.. I don't have that trouble with any of their other airports.

Only that one.. Must have something different about it, and it makes my sim get

pretty goofy.

Just thought I would mention that, in case it effects anyone else.

I can disable that scenery, and everything is normal.

BTW, this effected all aircraft in that case. Not just the NGX.

Gday

Just a reminder , the ngx does not like to be reloaded, that is why PMDG put the menu into the CDU, of the fms. If you want to reread the introduction for the NGX, it has a lot of good tips ect
