Our team was unable to reproduce this issue - could it be related to your monitor? We tested under these circumstances:

  • Windowed or Full Screen, 1920X1080, Anti-Aliasing = DLSS Super Resolution, DX12 (Beta), Rendering Quality = Ultra

  • Windowed or Full Screen, 1920X12000, Anti-Aliasing = DLSS Super Resolution, DX12 (Beta), Rendering Quality = Ultra

  • Windowed or Full Screen, 1920X1080, Anti-Aliasing = TAA, DX12 (Beta), Rendering Quality = Ultra

  • Windowed or Full Screen, 1920X1200, Anti-Aliasing = TAA, DX12 (Beta), Rendering Quality = Ultra

  • Windowed screen spread across two monitors to mimic an ultrawide, Anti-Aliasing = TAA, DX12 (Beta), Rendering Quality = Ultra

  • Windowed screen spread across two monitors to mimic an ultrawide, Anti-Aliasing = DLSS Super Resolution, DX12 (Beta), Rendering

Hello there, Thanks for looking into this.
as I attached my Graphic settings in the pics.
I’m always running on a 5K Ultrawide monitor, 5120X2160 on Ultra in the Sim
Those pop-up windows disappear when I lower the resolution to 3440x1440

FYI, I resolved this issue by downgrading it to Sim 1.30.12.0

I’ve had a similar sort of thing happening with the nav log, see report here;

Possible regression; Nav log going ‘full screen’ in Bush trip - Sim Update 12 Beta / User Interface & Online Activities - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

@armotech007 Do you happen to have //42’s Flow installed? Disabling this just fixed the issue I had. Could still be something else as well of course.

Hi, I didn’t get a chance to test it
but downgraded to 1.30.12.0 and this issue seems resolved.

sure, but did you have Flow installed?

Oh, The flow addon. Yes, I always have it in my community folder. never had any issues with it until the Sim 12 beta.

that was likely the cause then from my testing

I also have this issue. Sorry i did not see this post.

Here is my post:

I will try without Flow.

Removed Flow Pro. All fine without it.

I guess we need to contact them.

Hi all,

We have reported the issue to Asobo in the dev support ([SU12 Beta] In Game Panels can now be wider than the simulation viewport - MSFS DevSupport)

Unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done on our end to improve or fix the situation. We’ll have to wait until the next beta to see if they’ll do anything about it.

I’m pleased to announce that, with the help of Asobo, we have found a solution and have updated Flow to work with SU12.

This issue shouldn’t exist anymore.
