Thanks in advance for any knowledge or tips.

I have FSX on my computer which is using my 65" Mitusbishi TV as it's display. The PC itself will use the TV fine as a monitor for general uses (ie. web browsing, etc) but when I attempt to run FSX it only comes up as a smaller window (1/4 of screen used). I have checked the FSX.cfg file and found the setting MAXIMUM=1 is correctly set. Below is a list of my hardware used. Thanks again for any ideas, help, etc.



DELL OPTIPLEX 380
w/ 4 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor E7600 @ 3.06GHZ
NVIDIA GT630 Graphics w/ 2GB DDR
Windows 7 Professional w/ SP1 (32bit)
HDMI cable used between CPU and TV
Display at 1920x1080p Landscape

I purchased the graphics card just last week and it works flawlessly otherwise (Youtube, VLC Media Player, etc). So not sure what the problem is with FSX. This being the only game that I have attempted to load and play, so far. I just recently reloaded the OS on the computer from it's previous use as a business computer.

try hitting alt enter to toggle between windowed mode and fullscreen mode?

I would also check the resolution in the game settings itself and set it to the max resolution of your TV.

Try running it in windowed mode and stretching the window to fit the screen.

Hi,

Be careful when using windowed mode, it will use the resolution of the desktop not the ones within fsx, also this is where it can become awkward when setting up several screens of varying resolution.

There should be a setting with the TV called "Game Mode". That is the setting you need so FSX will be full screen. I used to use my 27" TV as a monitor.
