My FS2004 splash screen has shifted off-center to the left of my screen when starting up FS9.1 It's not a show stopper, and eventually FS9.1 starts up correctly, but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if it's a known issue.I'm using a 17" LCD panel running at 1280x1024, with an nVidia 6600GT 128MB video card, Windows XP, SP2.I'm not exactly sure when it started behaving this way, I think it was after I installed some commercial scenery addon (not 100% sure).Any clues?

I have the same problem, but in my case it

HiStart FS. When you see the first screen (maybe "Create a flight") put the arrow of your mouse on "Create a flight" on top of the screen. Pushing on the left side of your mouse you can move the screen where you want. It will stay there till you move it again.Willy

Thanks Willy, but won't that also move my main FS opening screen to the left as well? The issue is that the splash screen with the DC3/sunset is displayed over to the left - the actual FS interface (where 'create a flight etc is, is actually centered ok).

Hey Coorby,I've had the same problem, whereas it's not really a major one as you say, as long as FS9 keeps running the way it should.I noticed it after I've put FS in 2d mode and linked it with the AFCAD program. When editing in AFCAD I always moved the minimized FS window to the left and worked on AFCAD on the right side of the screen. After that I've noticed the splashscreen being moved as far to the left as I've moved FS in the previuos 2d mode.So, put FS in 2d mode and move the window around a little to the right. That should do the trick ;)Happy landings...CF...

This happens when you run FS in windowed mode (and NOT maximized). FS remembers where your window was on the screen and it puts the splash screen there. To fix it, go into windowed mode (ALT+ENTER from full screen mode), make sure your window is not maximized, then move your window so it is centered by dragging it. That should do it.-- -Gary LetonaJr. Captain, Livewire Virtual Airlineshttp://www.livewireairlines.com

To re-center the splash screen, open the fs9.cfg file, find the section "Main" and remove the numbers behind the entry "Location". Save and start FS. The spash screen will then be centred and the values written to the fs9.cfg file.Mike

I was reinstalling and the FS res was still at 800X600 when I windowed it to check something else. When it windowed it occupied the top left corner of my screen. Back to full screen and the splash screen was stuck in the corner. Windowed again at 800X600, centered the windowed screen on the desktop then back to full screen. Restart of FS9 now all OK.Andrew Brownhttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Thanks for all the replies - will try this tonight. Really appreciate your help guys :)

I have had this problem before and the method Mike left above will work perfectly.Dr Bob Reno, NV

What Gary said is the cause. I've had it happen a couple of times while working on panels. Your in the Window mode and you resize the window down to much smaller size. In the process you move it over to the left or right and forget to enlarge to a full window size.When you start FS it will be over to one side or the other.David
