Evening Guys,

Almost everytime I load up the 738 for a flight, and I minimize FSX to open/look at something else. I go to maximize FSX again, and the screen is black. Any pointers?

Running FSX in window mode or full screen mode? When I first started out I tried running in full screen mode and that caused a lot of problems so I switched to window mode and never looked back.
Are you able to recover the cockpit once it goes black?
Does it do this at all airports or only high end payware airports?

In full screen mode mostly, it seems to happen more at dusk/night as well. It hasn't seemed to favor any particular airport either. In most cases I can't recover the cockpit at all. Sometimes it recovers but looks right through the panel.

Windowed mode is the solution to this problem.
