second monitor and FSX....

[beeker46]

Okay, I have a 2nd monitor set up and all works great; I can move windows from one screen to the other, life is good on that front...

However, when I move a program over to the 2nd monitor and fire up FSX (full screen mode), the 2nd monitor goes black, and only shows the program there when I switch to windowed mode with FSX. I prefer FSX in full screen, so I was wondering if there was a way to force the program on the second monitor to 'stay on top' no matter what is happening on the primary monitor, or am I to remain in windowed mode with FSX. The advantages of having LittleNavMap are many, but I would like to also run FSX in full screen (as I am quite fond and familiar with that) and keep the other monitor showing LittleNavMap too...

Is there a workaround, a setting or an app that will achieve this?

There is an app called Borderless Gaming which makes it appear you are in full screen mode when you are in windowed mode. There is a version at AVSIM and other versions on the web. If you do a search for fsx borderless gaming you will have plenty to read.

Looking into it, many thanks!

I have tried several apps, all to no avail... I am stuck in windowed mode if I want to keep using LittleNavMaps on the second monitor (which I do), but I did adjust some colors on my taskbar and title bar which reduce the annoyance and make them 'blend' in with FS a little better. The bottom taskbar is smaller while the accent color on the title bar is dark(er). That works for me, so life is good again, lol...
