REALLY dumb question.

Postby imchief » Thu Mar 27, 2003 1:04 pm

Hey all.  I've been simming with 2k2 for a long time but haven't figured everything out yet.  I notice that alot of people surf other web sites while on ling flights. How do you do this?  I always fly in full screen mode. I know that you can ALT+Tab to swith between aplications, but whenever I come back to my sim using ALT+ Tab my sim is paused.  How do I get the ability to switch between aplications, primarily web surffing, and keep my sim running?  Please Help.  

thanx in advance.

Somewhere in the options Tab is the option to not pause flightsim when minimized...I think it's in the General Options area.

Cool.  Thanks.  I'll try that when I get home. That will make things (i.e. time) much more productive.
