FSX SP2 vista Nvidia Magic Bullet .. this REALLY works !

I'm having the same effect by going to an unmaximized windowed screen. I can expand the window side to side or to the top of the screen and keep the increased (approx 30% versus maximized screen) FPS but the instant I pull the screen down to touch the taskbar the FPS drop.I'm using FSX with SP1 and SP2 and video is a Nvidia GeForce 8800GT/512.

In the meantime I looked for the same effect on an XP installation of FSX that has SP1 but not SP2. That computer is using an ATI Radeon 9800Pro/128 video card. On the XP machine I did not see the effect. Considering the number of differences between the two installations of FSX I guess I can only say that the windowed screen FPS effect could be related to Vista, FSX XP2 or the video card. Not much help but thought I'd pass it along.Al Wheeler

I set up with the default 172 on RW 34 at SEA with "minimal" scenery density and no traffic (just wanted to see the max I could get).In windowed mode I was getting about 45 fps, and in full screen the counter is jumping around a lot but it seems to top out at around 145 and bottom at about 125.I then switched to "Ultra high" scenery density in windowed mode and got about 16 fps, and in full screen about 31 fps.Overall it appears that you can at least double if not triple the frame rate depending upon your density settings in full screen mode.Of course, your mileage may vary. ;)Regards,http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...R_FORUM_LOU.jpg

If i just use my primary monitor, AA does not work in windowed mode. I have it enabled in both profile and global in nHancer.
