I just switched back to my non-surround setup

 

Setup

 

40in LED via HDMI - Set as default monitor

2x 23in LCD via DVI

 

It's not every single time I run FSX, I'd say 3 out of 5 times.. It looks like this. I can alt-enter to go into window mode and it adjusts itself, and then I can alt-enter back to fullscreen and everything is fine.

 

Things I've done to stop it

 

delete fsx.cfg

delete shaders

set NI to default

Reinstall Nvidia drivers

 

PC specs in the usual place.

 

 

Windows positions are stored in saved flight files.

 

Are you loading a saved flight when you see this?

Thought that myself so I emptied my saved game folder and started over.. Same thing.. I created a flight, saved, reloaded it twice without an issue, then third time it loaded just like my example above..  

Narrowed down my culprit. Ezdok. Deleted it, removed it from exe.xml restarted fsx loading the same saved game 20 times and perfect each time. This also solved my problem with the initial FSX launch menu/screen lagging my mouse like heck for a few seconds after appearing. It also cured baytowers Rv7 from taking 1900hrs to load.. Now to find out if 1.16 does this.. Might be a 1.17 bug as I recently did upgrade to it even though it offered nothing I cared about.
 

So this is still occasionally happening just at a much lesser frequency..  My only guess is FSX hates HDMI, SLI, and multi monitor configurations or a core file is corrupt.. I downloaded a fresh copy of the ShadersHLSL folder w/ no luck.. I also found out when it loads werid like that in fullscreen I can actually click on the image portion of it and it fills out the rest like normal.. All while never leaving fullscreen.

 

Any ideas? And can you repair a FSX/Acell installation without having your scenery and terrian cfgs wiped?
