Microsoft Flight Sim - I can no longer use all window panels on second monitor..

PierceHolmes · Jun 14, 2021

When using the support windows in MSFS (for ex. the camera window, the weather window, map, checklist, etc) I never had a problem with dragging them over to my second monitor, which helps greatly with efficiency.

However, over the last month it suddenly stopped working. Partially. Now when I click the middle button between the 'x' and minimize, the screen just disappears and it not accessible at all.

Weird thing is though, most the windows actually work (Basic controls, AI Control, Fuel, Naglog, Objectives, Travel to, VFR Map, Weather all work when attempting to use them as separate windows), but when trying to separate the Camera, ATC or the Checklist, they simply disappear when trying to use as separate windows, which happen to be the ones I use the most.

Becoming increasingly desperate for a solution, I reinstalled which resulted in no fix.

We highly recommend checking => Troubleshoot graphics issues in Flight Simulator X (microsoft.com). If the issue persist, it would be best to get in touch with the developer of the game for further assistance through Submit a request – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com).

"Hi All

Hope someone can help me.

Successfully configured my CH Flight Sim Yoke to work Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and did some flying around and landing around my hometown no problems. The configuration setup was saved. I then closed the game down.

Now when I start up Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 it no longer detects the CH Flight Sim Yoke. I have also tried plugging in the CH Fighterstick (which was previously detected) and it is now undetected as well.

The USB ports work fine outside Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 as tested by adding a second keyboard. (update: under Windows 10 device manager I also checked to can see if Windows 10 detects the insertion and removal of the CH controllers - I confirmed OK that
Windows 10 had no problems detecting the addition and removal of the controllers.

It seems to be a detection problem by Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 (despite the fact Windows 10 can detect the controllers)

Welcome any advise why Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 has 'forgotten' its plug in controls.

TIA

This afternoon I was playing FS 2020 with an Xbox controller because Flight gear is not available anywhere, except at Ama..n for 400-500% price markups. Today I received a Thrustmaster Rudder pedal I bought at the Microsoft Store and FS 2020 detect it without
problems. After setting up the axis, I played for awhile and got off. When I got back on a few minutes later my Xbox controller was gone from FS2020. The Rudder Pedals were still showing and working, but no signs of the controller. Unplugging, rebooting
the PC (Windows 10 Pro latest) did not do any good. I tried the controller with Steam games and it works as usual, so there is something going on with FS 2020 recognizing USB devices for sure....

This does not stretch the view at all if you adjust the offset angle in the nvidia control panel and adjust the resolution in flight sim.

Where do i find the ‘adjust the angle offset’ in the nvidia control panel? Do you mean bezel correction?

Hello,

I am also a blind flight sim user, and the developer of one of the add-ons that many in our community use.

For anyone interested, the add-on is called Talking Flight Monitor (TFM), and can be found at:

I just want to agree with what others have said. It would be amazing to hear about the work that MS is doing to make FS2020 accessible. Although I've loved developing this free add-on, I would love to have it rendered obsolete due to accessibility features
native to the sim.
