Hi guys! I've had an issue with FSX for quite a while that is finally starting to get on my nerves. When I switch from one view to another (say from VC to Spot view), one row of the pixels from the previous view remains stuck on the left hand side and top of the screen. The screenshot I attached shows some pixels from the virtual cockpit stuck on the side of the screen when in spot view. Interestingly, in the past I had the same issue with FS9 and with a different computer. I have a suspicion that it has to do with Active Sky but I have no proof and I've seen nothing on any of their support forums. Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you on windowed mode or Full view?

This is full screen. The screenshot is uncropped and shows everything that appears on my screen.

I would switch to windowed mode.

Sure, that's an option, but I'd rather solve the issue while remaining in full-screen if that's possible. Does anybody else have (or had) this issue?

I poked around the internet a bit more and finally found a thread regarding this on Avsim (http://forum.avsim.net/topic/392619-thin-lines-on-edge-of-screenfixable/). Seems it's just one of those FSX quirks I'll have to live with! Thanks for taking the time Thiago!

I run windows mode as well, as Thiago has mentioned before, the frame difference is great.
