Task switching
-
Anyone knows if task switching (BMS running, alt-tab to WDP then alt-tab back to BMS) causes any problems these days or is still not recommended?
I have tried a few times, so far don’t see any problems…Cheers!

I have noticed that my FPS will often drop, the more switching, the more I lose. Someone told me to use my ipad to cue up manuals/WDP, checklists, etc., which was a great idea cause now no more alt-tab needed.

I have had issues with crashing and FPS while alt-tabbing out. Once I start the sim I exit out if I need to change something. I use my iPad as an electronic flight bag. Best way to do it.

Fullscreen task switching is maybe troublesome. Windowed is bulletproof except you get the windows mouse cursor on top which can be solved with a ctrl-alt-del and cancel.

WDP works on ipad?

You can take screenshots of checklists, mission cards, etc. and load them into an iPad as pictures sorted into labeled Albums. That’s what I do. Did. It was far easier and more straightforward under the older versions of iTunes…and easier still if you had a Mac to do it with. I haven’t done it in awhile, but it’s still how I’d go about doing it.

I had several crashes after alt+tab.
If I would have to give a percentage, I would say ~5% in 2D mode, 15% in 3d.I also have the feeling it might be Video Driver dependent - I had times with zero problems, and then it happened several times in a row.
Additionally I don’t play often - every few months I play for a few weeks

With the price that monitors have fallen to, get yourself a cheap second monitor (assuming your graphics card has two ports).
