HELP !!..."full Screen View" in FS9 ? Cant get it ?

[Derek]

Hi All,

My friend has installed FS9, and he is using a Radeon Pro 9700 Graphics
card. He has his resolution set at 1024 x 768, and finds that he is unable
to klick "alt and enter" to give his a full screen view without the
Microsoft titles at the top of his screen ?

Why is this ? It worked ok in FS2002Pro. I have FS9 also but am only
running a Ge Force 2 MX400 G.C., and can do it no probs.

Is this a "failure" of his Graphics Card features then ?

Cheers

Derek

Hi Derek,


The FAQ reading is often useful: http://www.simflight.com/

Find fs9.cfg, typically in Documents and Settings\user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Fs9, look for the [MAIN] section, and try changing the
HideMenuNormal entry from 0 to 1.

Regards,
John

Hi John.

Many thanks and I will get him to try it. Seems a bit drastic though ? !

Graphics card working ok then ? Will this solve his probs matey ?

hi to everyone

I was in my flight simulator and I closed and reopened and appeared in window.
I try editing the fs9.cfg changing fullscreen = 0 to fullscreen = 1
and I save changes and nothing remains in window.

y need help because is much better in fullscreen mode than window mode
