April 29, 201610 yr Not sure if this is a Windows problem or a FS2Crew or FSX problem. After working successfully for several years, suddenly when I drag an FS2Crew window to my 2nd monitor the window moves but the content is replaced by a black screen within a few seconds. Occasionally the content will appear after a couple minutes but not often. I like to keep my sim screen uncluttered and the windows such as FS2Crew, Radar Contact etc. on my second monitor. Would appreciate any help.

April 29, 201610 yr Author No. Just dragging it as I've done for years... I must have done something but I don't know what. J
April 29, 201610 yr Commercial Member Hard to guess... try updating your video drivers. Also, the FS2Crew window doesn't need to stay open... most people fly with it closed, and just open it occasionally. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
April 29, 201610 yr Author You're right... don't know why I leave the window open all the time. I'll try that. I'll also update my video drivers. Thanks, Brian Jeff

May 2, 201610 yr Author How do I close the FS2Crew window? Hitting the same key I use to start it doesn't work. "X"ing it out doesn't work. Probably a dumb question, right? Sorry, Bryan. Jeff

There's no such thing as a dumb question :wink: Press the "LK" (Lock) button on the FS2Crew Main Panel. The reason for the Lock button is because if you change views in FSX/P3D, any 2D panel windows will auto close. Locking them forces them open. Cheers, B.
