Hello, Can anyone advise the fors and against of running in Full screen or windowed mode please?

Thanks

Phil

In fact 'full screen' is borderless windowed mode.

I don't see any performance impact so use 'full' for immersion

Sometimes. P3D uses borderless windowed mode but FSX uses genuine full screen. Many other games use proper full screen mode where pop-ups from other Windows apps won't appear.

If running FSX then I have read of a memory leak if using full screen - which, of course, could lead to CTD's. When I run FSX I use the "Pseudo Full Screen Autohotkey Script" to allow me to run in windowed mode but it looks like full screen. The script is available in the AVSIM library: search for "Pseudo Full Screen Autohotkey Script"

I think this only applies to FSX or FSX:SE: I'm not sure if its relevant to P3D. Others may be able to clarify that for you.

Thanks for your replies, does anyone know if or how it affects X-Plane running with Vulkan please?
