One last throw of the dice from me. Look in Control panel\Progams etc.\Updates Look for KB2670838. If you have it on your system, uninstall it and hide it. It messes with FSX UI.

I would delete your FSX.cfg and let FSX make a new one. I had this issue where FSX wouldn't remember window positions, keep maximized (windowed mode, even though it was initially set to fullscreen), etc. So I just deleted my config file and started over. Haven't had too many issues since.

My cfg.

Or are talking to jjacee1.

I cannot thank you enough for realising you were having a "senior moment"!! During the flight loading I clicked the black screen and BINGO I am now in full screen. I have done this twice now so am confident it will carry on working.

ebo77.. thanks for your input too. I have just reinstalled Fixer and the cfg is somewhat similar to yours in the relevant sections.

Once again all, many may thanks for your perseverance in trying to assist me.

Regards

Another OLD fart !!

Anyone know why this works?

@gboz...... No I am not sure either but it did ! I think my problem may have had something to do with Fixer, although prior to uninstalling it I did do the click on the flight loading screen and it worked. After that I reinstalled Fixer and i have not had to click the flight loading screen since, it loads in fullscreen automatically. Are you just interested in the "why it works" or have you had a similar problem?

Another satisfied customer. You'd do well to check the KB2670838 thing to avoid future troubles.

No. Put it down to yet another FSX foible.

Never seen this problem myself.

Just curious.
