Multi-Window positions are incorrect and cannot be saved

When starting flight in multi monitor mode, Window 1 is on right monitor where Window 2 should be and Window 2 is on left monitor where Window 1 should be.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue? Yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time I start a flight.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1.Start sim
2. Start flight
3. Window 1 is on right monitor where Window 2 should be
4. Window 2 is on left monitor where Window 1 should be
5. To fix, I change each window to Windowed mode and then back to Full screen
6. Positions never save and I need to reset using these steps every time.

Thanks. Just did.

I’ve seen the same thing consistently originally in MSFS2020 and it has carried over to MSFS2024. Essentially the sim seems to mix up Window 1 & 2 after you’ve set those screens in the Hanger View, i.e. you spawn onto the runway and now your LEFT-MIDDLE-RIGHT screen layout has switched to RIGHT-MIDDLE-LEFT.

Hi Rob,

Did you get any answer? Did you find afix?

Having exactly the same issue. It’s very annoying.

Thanks,

Manuel

Can confirm, I even re-installed the sim because my pop-outs went missing, only a 3rd party app could help and find them
