domo 0 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 can anyone help me? I have two screens which work fine until I open FSX then one of them goes blank, as soon as I close FSX back it comes. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm kind of stabbing in the dark here. What shows on the second monitor when FSX is not running? Is this MS FSX or FSX-SE? Is FSX in windowed mode or full-screen? If full-screen, does changing to windowed mode change the behavior of the second monitor? If you open and un-dock a pop-up, can you drag it to the other screen? John Link to post Share on other sites
domo 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 hi I have FSX SE. I can drag and drop windows from one screen to the other. Makes no difference what mode I am in. all I have done is un plug everything so I could move it. I have map on my second screen which opens no problem, it is only when I open FSX, it just goes blank.

needles 1,010 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 This might appear to be a daft question but, have you set up multiple monitors in your nvidia settings? Link to post Share on other sites
domo 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 hi, yep everything set up to go, just won't go. I am totally baffled. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hey john, I've had this problem in the very distant past and have forgotten what I did to rectify it. Im away from home at the moment so not near my FS PC but when I return home, I'll see if I can remember what was wrong. Hang in there, we'll get it sorted somehow. Link to post Share on other sites
domo 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 hi needless, thanks, I will be hanging on. Cheers Domo. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 John, just a thought, if when you start up FSX and the second monitor goes blank, press Alt + Enter, what happens? Also add this line to your fsx.cfg: ForceWindowedVSync As I said I'm not on my FS PC so I forgot which section to place it in so try placing it in the [MAIN] section first. Good luck.
