    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Avionics Pop Ups Turn Black

falcon409

SOH-CM-2026
This seems to have only become a problem recently and I have no idea why. I run two monitors. . .one for the primary flight display and the other for placing various pop ups to monitor during the flight. As long as the pop up is on the primary display it's fine but if I move it to the other monitor it turns black. Any idea why this happens?
 
Just curious...in your FSX.cfg, what does maximized= show?

SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc

I will assume maximized=2 is for 2 screens and has not been recently changed. OK, wrong im my aausmption!

Maximized=2 // 0 – open in windowed mode, 1 – open in full screen, 2 – open in windowed mode, maximized

Maybe try maximized=1 and run in full screen mode and then try moving one of your popups.
