Problem entering full screen mode
I installed Steam and FSX: SE yesterday, and started to configure FSX with settings I thought appropriate for my set up. The first time I ran it, if I recall correctly, it started the flight in full screen mode correctly filling my large monitor. Since then however it always opens the flight window in windowed mode maximized into my large monitor. If I try to enter full screen mode either using the menu, or pressing Alt-Enter, it seems to try to enter full stream mode, but it ends up either dropping back immediately into windowed mode, or crashing the application.

I have a 64-bit Intel system running Windows 10, two monitors, 32 GB memory, and a Thrust Master T-Flight stick.

Does anyone know how I can get full screen mode back? Other than this issue the program seems to be running great. It is frustrating however not getting the full screen mode to work.

Alt-Enter for Full screen or use native resolution for your monitors. That is the only thing I can think of.

I said I before that alt-enter doesn't work in this case. I need a fix, not basic usage instructions.

I have got the same issue as well on my FSX. I can't enter the fullscreen mode and went not responding when pressing alt+enter.
