Tom Bergman Posted April 12, 2011 at 03:02 PM Posted April 12, 2011 at 03:02 PM Not sure why this question popped into my mind but, when I load up FSX it switched to windows basic display mode or something like that. Is there a reason windows 7 does this and is there a way to make it not do this to see the performance differences?

If you dont see the menu, press the ALT button. FSX will remember the last mode you used and will open that way next time you launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never even thought about it until you posted I thought of it because while switching from between full and windowed mode last night during my first flight with REX 2 it switched out and my frame rates went up by about 5 or 6, but of course i was just screwing around so I can't remember how or what i did. Of course the system was under a lot of load and would like to try it again when the system load is less.

Charan Kumar Posted April 12, 2011 at 08:10 PM Posted April 12, 2011 at 08:10 PM Couple of things to check would be the set resolution. Make sure you have it matched with your desktop resolution. I would also check to see if you have the 32 bit selected, selecting the 16-bit may affect it a bit. Not saying this is the solution, but worth checking.
