April 23, 201313 yr Hi! I fairly new on this site, so apologies if this has already been posted:-) I've been reading alot of post and reviews for thirdparty addons, complaining about not being able to use fullscreen when using a second(or third) monitor for other programs like ProATC, EFB, FSCommander and such. I was having the same issue and used to spend my time with FSX in windowed mode. While reading som topic on Poinsofts forum, one of the ProATC devs gave me a tip about a great little program called FS-SIMtimizer that allows you to use FSX fullscreen but also have access to your other monitors as well. I have yet to test this on three monitors, but it works fantastic on two so I see no reason why this shouldnt work on three:-) It does a bunch of others stuff I haven't tried/needed. Its written by a german guy and website is also in german so can't really tell what it says, but the program itself is in english. Best of all; its free:-) From the author: "Here you can use 2 (or more) monitors with FS in an "optimated fullscreen-mode" on one monitor and any wanted application on the other. Just give it a try. After starting FS, bring it into window-mode. Start FS-SIMtimizer, press Alt+Enter, enjoy." http://www.friendlyflusi.at/index.php?page=Thread&postID=127639 Googletranslated: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.friendlyflusi.at%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3DThread%26postID%3D127639 Btw, I have no connection with the author, I just found this to be verfy helpfull and wanted to share:-) Ryzen 7 9800X3D || MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC 32GB || G.Skill TridentZ 32GB@6000CL32 || Asus ROG Strix B650E Kingston Fury 4TB M.2 NVMe || Phanteks Glacier One 360 T30 v2 || Phanteks NV5 || BeQuiet Straight Power 1200W LG C4 42'' 4k@144hz || Oculus Quest 3 || Turtle Beach Velocity One
April 24, 201313 yr Hi, Agreed! FS-Simitizer is a great little program...I use it when flying on VATSIM, screen looks exactly like full screen, works like a charm.
April 24, 201313 yr Thanks for the tip! I will have to try this! Sent from my Apple communications device. William Sequeira
April 24, 201313 yr This is just awesome, I've been looking for something to do this for a while now! I will give it a go a bit later on today "If you can't solve and equation with calculus, you're not using enough calculus" - A wise friend
February 23, 201412 yr FS-Simitizer is a life saver! I have 2xmonitors and i use one for instruments. However i had to use windowed mode in order to prevent FSX from crasching/ screen blackouts, but that would kill my fps. Fs-simitizer solved innoing problem forever and i can now have Full screen on no probs.
