Hi guys,

I have got FSFSPro installed and it appears to be running fine.
I have followed the instructions to get FSX running first and be in the cockpit - Done.
I alt tab back to W7 and run FSFSPro, hit connect, it 'sees' that FSX is running etc
But when I alt-tab back to FSX I get a black screen.
This is odd as i often alt-tab during the game to get to firefox for maps etc.

Any ideas?

Cheers

UPDATE - I get a black screen but I can hear the audio of the 'instructor'.
I have hit "p" to pause/unpause but still no luck.

It would be great to get this working so I can test it then buy it.

Hi Stig:

Thanks for trying the demo and thanks for making sure it works well with your configuration before buying - that's the best thing about the free demos.

If you are not already so configured, I'd like to ask what result you get if FSX is running in a window. You can toggle this in FSX by pressing ALT ENTER which will change back and forth between full screen and 'windowed'.

FSFS runs fine with FSX in either full screen or windowed mode - I am just trying to get more test data for this case.

Also - do you have a multiple screen set up or is there anything else that is unusual about your system?

Aha! I tried your idea of running in a window and it worked! Huzzah!
After connecting with FSFS I alt-tabbed back to FSX and then tried full screen and it worked fine

In case you need it for development:
Yes, dual monitors.
AMD Quad core 3.5ghz
12gb RAM (Yep, yay for quick access times)
GTX550ti x 2 in SLi

Now to have a play and see what it can do.

Cheers!
