Brief description of the issue:

Following the 1.36.2.0 update, the sim starts up with the DISPLAY MODE set to WINDOWED. After manually changing it to FULL SCREEN and saving the change the sim functions as expected in FULL SCREEN. However, on the next and every other start of the simulator, the DISPLAY MODE is reset to WINDOWED, creating a manual process for the user to change to FULL SCREEN if desired.

No need - You can see this in the settings under General Options.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Version 1.36.2.0. Start the sim and note if it starts in WINDOWED mode. If it does, change it to FULL SCREEN save and exit the sim completely. Start up the sim again and note if it starts in WINDOWED mode.

It seems like the check for updates flashes by real quick and then the Doon crap disables full screen!

Just hit Alt Enter in the meantime.

Hi folks,

There is an existing thread for this issue here:

As @TheSevenflyer noted above, this bug is resolved in the SU_15 beta and will be fixed for all players when that update goes live.
