Running FS in Full-screen mode with Plan-G

[stanshear]

Hi
I am running FS9 on one monitor and Plan-G on another.  It works beautfiully, but I ususally run FS in full-screen mode.  If I do this with Plan-G then whenever I click on the Plan'G monitor it minimizes the FS monitor view, and I have to make my settings on Plan-G and then maximise my FS monitor.  The only way I can avoid this and display both simultaneously, is to run FS in windowed mode.
Is there any way around this?

Stan,

I'm not sure as I don't run 2 monitors but there is an option for keeping Plan-G on top in the "View" tab. Try that. If I'm wrong Tim will correct me.

Nope that didn't work Joe, but thanks for the idea.

In short no, unless you use across a network.

Hokay, I guess that says it.
Thanks

Don't give up. I've written the tool FS-SIMtimizer *), which can help you with your afford. Here you can use 2 (or more) monitors with FS in an "optimated fullscreen-mode" on one monitor and any wanted application on the other. Just give it a try. After starting FS, bring it into window-mode. Start FS-SIMtimizer, press Alt+Enter, enjoy.

Btw, this is only one of many functions, FS-SIMtimizer brings to you.

*) This is a german site, so I give you the google-translate-link. Hope, everything is understandable.

@Tim: Sorry for posting a bit of "marketing" for my programm in the forum of your fabulous program. But in the next version there also will be a function, so that one can operate PlanG without deactivating FS.

Thanks for that, Ruespe.  I'll take a look.
