Finding Windowed Mode in X-Plane 11 Graphics Settings on Windows 10

Your concern regarding the absence of windowed mode in X-Plane 11's graphics settings on Windows 10 certainly rings a bell, and it is something that can be addressed. Let's walk through the steps to help you find and enable this particular feature.

1. Confirm Your X-Plane Version:
First and foremost, ensure that you're running the latest version of X-Plane 11. Sometimes, these issues may arise from running an older build, so updating may solve the problem.

2. Manually Activate Windowed Mode:
Pressing the Alt + Enter keys simultaneously can often toggle between windowed and full-screen modes, even if the option is not visible in the settings.

3. Modify Configuration Files:
If the above solutions don't work, you might need to manually edit the configuration files.

• Navigate to the X-Plane 11 installation directory.
• Open the 'Output' folder, then the 'Preferences' folder.
• Locate the file named X-Plane Screen Res.txt.
• Open this file in Notepad or any plain text editor.
• Change the line starting with 'full_screens' to '0' instead of '1'.

4. Additional Consideration:
If you're running multiple monitors or a specialized setup, this might alter how X-Plane behaves in terms of display modes. It may be worthwhile to review the official X-Plane multi-monitor setup guide if this is applicable to your situation.

Note that the solutions provided here are mainly tailored to X-Plane 11, but some of these tips (especially the Alt + Enter key combination) may apply to other flight simulator platforms like Microsoft Flight Simulator as well.
