I am running 6 monitors on 2 GTX690's and need to force FSX to open in windowed mode. When I hit fly it crashes. Not an issue in X-Plane because it opens in a window. What can I put in the fsx.cfg to force FSX to launch in a window? Can't find a post with a similiar issue.

 

Any ideas would be great.

 

Thanks, /jim

Hi Jim

 

You should have this in your "[MAIN]" section:

Maximized=1

 

Just change the 1 to a 0 (Zero) and it should run un-maximised...

Odd. I run in windowed mode all the time, and my Maximized=2

 

Hook

That definitely launches FSX in a window. Maximized=0 open it in a small window while Maximized=2 opens it a window maximized to the monitor set as default. Unfortunately it now crashed at the end of the loading bar reaching 100% .....

 

At least I’m getting further..

 

PS. Apologies for posting this in the wrong forum ... if it can be moved that would be great

I never use FSX in anything other than maximised, but I just happen to know which setting it was, and figured it was either on or off, didn't know there was a "2" option :-)

Thanks for your help! I'm up and running ... now for some tuning. Thanks again. /jim

Sounds like a resolution setting problem. Try setting it to a lower resolution and work your way up?
