November 23, 200421 yr I got a BILLION hits when I searched on this so let me just post away. When attempting to switch from full screen to window mode and then back to full screen, I get a black screen with a flickering hour glass.I've tried Alt/Enter instead of the tool bar method and that works sometimes but as often as not it doesn't work. On a software support forum here it was suggested that I try alt/tab but that didn't work at all, in the sense that the view mode doesn't switch out of full screen at all.I'm asking because a very popular add-on requires view mode switching to function and it just ain't workin' for me.Any others with this same problem?Thanks,Jim
November 23, 200421 yr JimI get a similar thing switching between full screen and windowed mode. This has only happened since installing my new video card. I also use ALT-ENTER to switch. However after 15 or 20 secs it displays correctly. So how long are you waiting for the video mode changeover to occur?
November 23, 200421 yr Jim,Use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to minimize FS9. Click on the task bar to get back in your plane.Ken
November 23, 200421 yr Jim,I believe this is a video driver issue and you may find a more permanent solution in a different driver. I did find that toggling the software Anti-Aliasing setting on or off would restore the display.Doug
November 23, 200421 yr Turn Anti-Aliasing off in FS9 and on in the driver software....That worked in mine.Joe w.
November 23, 200421 yr Ctrl/Alt/Delete should bring up Windows Task Manager.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
November 24, 200421 yr Hi Ken,From working with him on this I am pretty sure he is refering to Active Sky 2004. It is not caused by AS, but shows itself when users want to exit and enter FS04.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
