ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
I always use the feature to “pop out” cockpit displays (PFD, MFD, etc.) as top-level Win32 windows. Since I have four monitors connected to the computer, I can use the main monitor for the main window and surrounding monitors for such pop out displays.
Here’s how it looks in flight:
In MSFS2020, these pop out windows were closed when the flight ended, but this is no longer the case in MSFS2024: These windows remain, blank (full black):
This of course is a bit annoying.
And if I start a new flight, these old pop out displays will start to show some corrupted content:
I’m surprised such an obvious bug hasn’t been reported numerous times before, but maybe people don’t use multimon setups any more…
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Always, no exceptions.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Start a flight (in A320, for example)
- Pop out the PDF, MFD, and/or other screens (AltGr+click, I think – but this is stored in muscle memory, so don’t quote me on that) so they are drawn in their own Win32 top-level windows.
- Exit the flight by returning to the main screen of MSFS2024.
