Windows Xp Mode Windows 8.1 64 Bit
Julio Cesar Thap
So for some reason I am not getting the windowed option. I just get unused, full screen, instructor station and 2 D panel. Not sure why but with the windows key I can access the task menu and start menu. I probably should have known that! But thanks.
It makes no sense to say "Monitor 1 windowed, monitor 2 windowed" etc.. when once in windowed mode, X-Plane is NOT in control of your screens anymore; you are. You can pop out windows via the top-right-pop-out and drag them around as you see fit onto multiple screens.
Hi supervasya,
The problem still persists in v.11.05 and at this point I'm absolutely sure that it'll continue as is in future releases also.
However, I still haven't spotted why this is happening. One guess is that my monitor's resolution (1280x1024) seems to be troubling X-plane so it automatically disables windowed mode in order to avoid crashes. I've tested my PC configuration with a standard 16:9 1920x1080p resolution and windowed mode appeared in the options list and worked fine.
The best thing to do is to report this in Laminar"s customer support and see what's their answer on this. Now that I know it's other users problem too, I'll certainly report it, so maybe if you report it too we'll have a better chance they'll resolve it.
What do you think?

I have 3 monitors and there is no windowed option, but I have a theory...
I haven't tried it, but from reading the above, if any monitor is set full screen sim (or anything other than unused I'm guessing) then windowed mode isn't available on the main.
Once the sim is in windowed mode, then you should be able to drag it between monitors or stretch it across multiples so there wouldn't need to be an option on each monitor.
If you set xplane to full screen mode, then create a custom resolution (inside xplane.....not nvidia).....you can access task bar at bottom. Remove one pixel from custom resolution. I use 4096x2159 instead of the normal 4096x2160. If you are using 1920x1080, then you would create 1920x1079. Again...this is created in xplane 11. This also solves the panning around problem in full screen mode.
This does indeed allow access to the task bar...however on my triple monitor setup, using the above settings, it interferes with graphics of the forward view of runways and runway lighting. On any approach I can only view the runway correctly by panning around to the left monitor. When lined up with the runway on main (centre) monitor, the runway is basic without lighting, and on a night approach it is virtually impossible to see. So although it does allow access to the task bar, which is good, it does create other problems, not so good (at least it does for me).
I am in the middle of several urgent projects at the moment and have a few other people helping with them. One person was working in AutoCAD 2018 MEP (Yes, I know this is a AutoCAD forum, but the question is for AutoCAD in general) and hit a button or something that now opens drawings in their own separate window with borders around them. Hitting the Maximize button doesn't do anything, the windows can be manually resized, and they will stay at the new size.
Anyway, CLEANSCREEN and all of that doesn't fix the issue. Even though it gets rid of the windows, I need the Ribbon bar at the top. I am sure this is a simple answer, but I just don't have time at the moment to spend much time on it. My guess is that it has been answered before but I am not searching for the correct phrase. Any help would be much appreciated!
The button you circled (AutoCAD window) works fine but the 2 you drew arrows to (drawing file windows) do not work at all. My other versions of AutoCAD show the drawing files as a "full screen" inside the AutoCAD program, I can only see 1 drawing at a time and there is NO FRAME around the drawing file display. In MEP for some reason (and just starting 2 days ago) the drawing files are displayed in tiled windows with borders.
Thank you for the quick response. I tried using the (-) button as you mentioned. I clicked on several of the options (Restore, Top, Single, etc) but it didn't affect the drawing window. It seemed to be geared more toward viewports. I'm sure this is a simple thing, it's probably a case of me not searching correctly for than a complicated answer!
I only looked at the picture Dean posted had at first. Later I viewed your original picture so I saw the whole screen I realized it was actually 2 drawings tiled as opposed to 1 just windowed like a suggested.
I can make the drawings tile like you have with these commands, but my maximize buttons make them go back to full. Maybe it's glitched. Try making the tiles horizontal or vertical and then try to maximize one.
Thanks again for the response. Oddly enough, the number of drawings open has no bearing on the way the windows are displayed. In the screenshot there is actually only 1 "drawing" open, the window behind it is the standard "Start" window (which can't be closed). If I close all drawings and only have the Start window up, it is still in tiled form and cannot be maximized. Also, the drawing windows remember their position, so if I close a drawing, and reopen it, the window will be exactly like it was (manually resized) when I closed the drawing (or AutoCAD for that matter) down.
Thanks again for your comments and assistance. The maximize button works everywhere else except for AutoCAD MEP. It would like it is supposed to in AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architectural. I realize these are standard Windows OS program elements, but there is some disconnect specific to AutoCAD MEP. This is a recent change (Perhaps 2-3 days old. We have several major urgent projects going on and had several people working at this machine and at some point something happened to switch it over.
Not a solution, but just a comment. You said you don't care about the maximize button because you don't want the window frame. Just to clarify there's only a window frame when you have multiple windows open. When you hit maximize it obviously maximizes 1 drawing, but it also gets rid of the window frame as it isn't needed for 1 drawing. Also just curious, does the minimize button work?
In 840D SL controller with PCU50.3 - I can"t enter into windows mode, When i Press Down arrow while booting or Press 3 while booting , it directly enters into Service mode screen. so how to Enter windows mode or how to deactivate the HMI booting through winscp.
You can try double clicking (depending on system you may need to connect a mouse) on the PCU Baseversion info which is displayed in the bottom right hand corner during initial boot up. Ordinary this is the same as pressing "3" during the same boot phase but since you've said this hasn't worked this maybe a work around.
With almost every application I use, if I ask for a new window, it is in "maximized" mode. I do not want this, so I need to click on the button up in the window title bar next to the close button, the "maximize/restore" button.
As such, user control on window placement and size in Linux is limited. However, usually, a window size is "remembered". There is an exception, where large windows automatically are maximized by the desktop. It could be that this is the cause of the issue you are facing.
Example : tinypic.com/r/2i6jvah/9 : The left side of the screen is brave, you can see both 1/4 windows have tabs and are not in full screen mode. On the left is Firefox, both 1/4 split windows are allowed to be in full screen and have no tabs. (amazing)
Currently Charting, browsing ect. using this method is not very functional. Too much of the screen is eaten up by tabs and the translucent boarder around brave windows(another issue, I feel functionality should come before being pretty.) Allowing to be full screen in split windows would add functionality to programs like Mosaico that allow hot keys to move and size windows easily. More people need to know about this.
Firefox is the only browser that allows this Ive found but that browser heats up my computer and lags. Brave is fast and keeps things cool. Brave receiving this functionality would set it above the rest.
I'm using externals windows to access virtuals machines in my company to have quick access to both taskbars, of my computer and the virtual machine, but this way i don't have "keyboard focus" in this "window mode" to use the keyboard shortcuts on the virtual machine, for example ALT+TAB, WIN+R etc..
You will see two panels, left and right, and an image window in the middle. A second image is partially masked. The left panel contains the Toolbox as well as Tool Options, Device Status, Undo History and Images dialogs together. The right panel contains Brushes, Patterns, Fonts and Document History dialogs together in a multi-tab dock, and Layers, Channels and Paths dialogs together in another multi-tab dock.
Image windows: Each image open in GIMP is displayed in a separate window. Many images can be open at the same time, limited by only the system resources. Before you can do anything useful in GIMP, you need to have at least one image window open. The image window holds the Menu of the main commands of GIMP (File, Edit, Select...), which you can also get by right-clicking on the window.
An image can be bigger than the image window. In that case, GIMP displays the image in a reduced zoom level which allows to see the full image in the image window. If you turn to the 100% zoom level, scroll bars appear, allowing you to pan across the image.
Layers, Channels, Paths: The docked dialog below the brushes dialog shows the dialogs (tabs) for managing layers, channels and paths. The Layers tab is open: it shows the layer structure of the currently active image, and allows it to be manipulated in a variety of ways. It is possible to do a few very basic things without using the Layers dialog, but even moderately sophisticated GIMP users find it indispensable to have the Layers dialog available at all times.
