I have two monitors and I was wondering if there was a way to prevent flight simulator from pausing when I switch to a window on the other monitor. Thanks for any help.

How do you mean pausing? Pausing as in pressing 'P' and it stops still or pausing as in it lags and then carries on?

I dont know if it works for multi-monitoring ,but if you go to FS Settings and choose General you will notice the Pause on Task Switch option.Uncheck it and see what will happens.
