July 27, 200817 yr Moderator My problem with GMap is that it is very jerky as a moving map. In fairness all I did was install and run it with FSX. Tried different map modes and it still was too jerky for my taste.Nice idea tho.VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx XG 174.74 702/1620/792Kandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpg RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
July 27, 200817 yr To bad FSGS wont work with vista. And he has no intention of updateing his material to work with Vista. Sux
July 27, 200817 yr Hi,Does the second screen stay On or does it turn Off.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
July 28, 200817 yr I'm not using the second screen because it goes black if i'm using fullscreen mode on the first one.

July 28, 200817 yr It's a pity that FSX is so clumsy with full screen mode. Perhaps, for future reference, they could implement something I saw done with Condor, the soaring sim, where there was a 'pseudo' full screen mode. It was simply a windowed mode, but the borders of the window were outside the screen - this allowed you to have multiple windows open, handy for doing online work with comms software, weather etc, and it still exactly like a full screen mode.P.S. Condor is also light years ahead of FS for realistic soaring, for those interested in that. Simon Holderness
July 28, 200817 yr Does it ever rain there in Condor now? I bought it when it was released and I liked it a lot.
July 28, 200817 yr Sorry, OT now....Nope, no rain or anything like that - make no mistake, I'm not knocking FS - it's terrrain, variety, open-endedness etc is much better. But the core physics of Condor, as focused as it is on just one aspect of flying, is just so much better at simulating soaring. Perhaps that's the 'jack of all trades, master of none' aspect of FS though... Simon Holderness

However I have it set so its almost like full screen, I moved the windows task bar to the second monitor, and resized the window instead of maximizing it. That way I can slide the top 'blue bar' almost out of sight at the top of the window, and its almost identical to FS in full screen mode.XP Pro SP2-FSX SP2AMD FX60-8800GTS-2 Gigs RAMFEX-GEX-UTUSA-FSGenesis-and a bunch of other stuffComputer optomized by www.fs-gs.com
