Hi:

I need some help please with my flight sim set-up.  I have 3 monitors arranged in an upside down tri angle configuration.  I use the two upper monitors for navigraph, browsing the net, etc., while the main lower monitor is for the sim.

I'm running into an issue though when using the keyboard and mouse  Sometimes, when I type in the browser or mouse click on something on the upper monitors, the sim will take it as a command.

For example, sometimes I'll move my mouse to open a new tab on my browser but the sun visor in the cockpit will come down.  Or sometimes when I'm typing on my key board, the key command associated with number or letter will do something in cockpit.  How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks!

Using windowed mode should help you unfocus the sim window, if you hate the title bar, maybe borderless window.

Both P3D and XP should not recognize key input if unfocused, not sure on MSFS then.

Thanks for that tip.  But I do run in "window" mode.  So as I'm typing this, the window box around the sim is greyed out.  However, when I use the letter "t" on the keyboard, the sim zoomed in.
