      Try checking your “Cockpit Display Extraction” menu and ensure the monitor X,Y is set at 0,0

            Anyone have tips on how I can Alt Tab between BMS and WDP as I’m finding the UI and mission planning screens too small to be useful.

            I have a second monitor that I had used to have the WDP on that display and alt tab between the WDP screen and BMS on my main monitor but it wasn’t always successful

                  roger if X and Y = left and top; now set at zero, resolution set at 1024x768, (-window added to exe) and game now starts top left then at commit presents middle of the screen small (6"? game window).

                  So…how do I get it bigger (something Cloud9 hears quite often)?!?!

                        Its full widescreen and looks poor. You have been great help and a friend for years Brother. I’ll continue to work on it. Hell I bought this rig just to fly Falcon BMS.

                          I thought the size was fixed at 1024x768 when doing it that way…I do that for use with WDP on another screen (as alt-tabbing can mess things up.) Love to be able to set it to be larger.
