Hello guys, I was just wondering if anyone plays FSX in a window while doing some other task on your computer? Right now I am doing an IFR flight from Tennessee to New Jersey, I have FSX running in a window while I do my homework, I only have a small portion of FSX visible so that I can see when ATC checks up on me and to check up on the plane occasionally.

What a good idea? I never considered that, thanks for the "tip."

If I'm on a relatively long flight above about an hour I just ALT-ENTER out then do whatever I want.... just make sure 'PAUSE ON TASK SWITCH" is DISABLED in FSX GENERAL OPTIONS. ALSO, in my experiance, alt-tabbing can cause the game to freeze, to try ALT-ENTERING out then minimizing it.

I do it always. I'm just on FSX whilst doing my homework.
