Try as I will I cannot get my X Plane to go to full screen. It remains as a small window. 😕 Is there someone who can put me out of my misery? ![]()

A full XPlane 8 model, you can go up to 1024x1024.
Use black wallpaper while your flying so it won't be distracting.

Thanks for that
Glad it worked out.

Look in <Settings> Top of X-Planes open window <Rendering options> and in top left hand corner set your screen size Max 1920 1080 @ 32 bit. You should be able fill the screen with the right settings and colapse it when needed. However I have had a problem with some X-Plane downloads where the colapse function is absent-just not there-and re-downloading/installing seems the only way out.
