FSX Minimizes

[Dean B]

Hi Steve,

I'm having a problem whereby IF starts, it loads FSX and the kneeboard appears. The main FSX window is hidden. Sometimes I see the scenery progress bar loading. When I close the kneeboard FSX remains hidden. No amount of clicking on the FSX icon in the taskbar will force FSX into view. If I press ESC sometimes the 'End current task, Continue Flying' window will appear but clicking Continue doesn't kickstart FSX into view. I have to close FSX via task manager.

IF starts FSX via the external limiter batch file.

Hi Dean,
I had something like this once, I'm not sure how it came about, I was messing around with another monitor.
It sounds like the window could be starting off desktop.
I wonder if you can start up FSX and press Alt+Enter to get it full screen, then Exit, so it saves it's position.
Perhaps something like that will kick it back into gear.

Steve,

I tried that and every other possibility but nada.

What has just worked is removing the RunCmd string.

Why are you docking me all these points in my STOL aircraft?!

Seriously, can the cfg be tuned to suit aircraft like the Bird Dog which exceed a lot of the normal flight parameters.

Oops.
The 'alternative monitor files' are missing, reappearing in [rg]. They are only for the stock aircraft. You can create a monitor file for a particular aircraft and edit the amount of G forces allowed and so on.
There is an article in the help, scroll down to Monitor Files.

Keep a backup of any you make.
The monitor files get a small upgrade to handle the overspeed and stall errors, in [rg].
So you can copy paste the two new sections to your files or wait for [rg].
