How to get it to play on my primary monitor?
Hey,
I'm playing this on my gaming laptop, and on that laptop I have a second monitor hooked up and when ever I go to fly in FSX SE, it makes the cockpit show up on my secondary monitor when I want it to appear on my laptops 17" display.

How do I force it to run on my primary display (the display built into the laptop)?

Thanks for your time.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

My laptop display is my main display, all other games that I have played on Steam play on my laptop display, but FSX SE when in full screen mode defaults to my non-laptop display (my secondary monitor) when I want it to run full screen on my laptop display which is my main display.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem, the correct monitor is selected from the menu but it still runs on my second monitor :(

DX10 enabled? otherwise there is borderless gaming which can help pushing to the required monitor.

Why not just ask in a new topic instead of resurrecting a 6 year old topic?
