February 28, 20197 yr Not sure if this is a P3D issue or whether I need to make some sort of change - let me explain. I run with an MSI game notebook that is capable of displaying to three monitors - the built in as well as two externals. One issue I have is that the notebook only has one HDMI port which I have always used for P3D and do not have an issue. However I wanted to add a second external display so I use my Mini DisplayPort with a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter where I then connect to my second external. This works perfectly with any other programs I run except for P3D. When I launch P3D it loads but stays minimized in my Task Bar and will not expand to the monitor - what am I doing wrong? Appreciate your help. Regards, Dane - Windows 11 Home - CPU Intel Core i7-10700KF @3.8GHz - EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU - 1TB SSD DRIVE - RAM 32GB - MSFS-2020
February 28, 20197 yr Interesting, I remember having a similar problem a while back, you are using W10 so when you right click and goto display settings, is the monitor your are loading P3D on the main monitor and is monitor 1/2 extended or duplicated under Multiple Displays. Once P3D is loaded can you do Alt-Tab to get to it or does it stay minimized ? If nothing else right click on P3D and goto properties and see if it's running in a 'normal window' also make sure it's running as administrator and if nothing else, under compatibility try to disable the fullscreen optimizations. Let's go from there and see.... Ryzen 5 5600X - Noctua U12A, 32Gb Vengence, Sapphire Pulse 5700xt, WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD
March 1, 20197 yr Author Yes I am using W10. First let me layout my display monitors: Display 1 (0) is my built-in monitor. Display 2 (1) is my external monitor that I want P3D to load on. Display 3 (2) is for other addons to be displayed on. Now what I have noticed in the P3D Options\Display screen is that it does recognize all three monitors but it always seems to default to the built-in display (0) when you look in the Options Menu. I have tried switching monitors around using the DisplayPort as well as the HDMI Port. What I have found is that it seems that P3D does not like using the DisplayPort - there is never a problem with the HDMI. So if P3D really does not like the DisplayPort I have no choice but to use the HDMI - I wanted to use the DisplayPort as it is reported that it has better speed throughput.
