Does Alt+Tab work in OFF for you? It is rather strange as it works in CFS3 for me but not in OFF.

 

Note that Alt+Tab minimizes applications.

If i go thru a game using the off manger, alt-tab gets me out of the game,,,but find it impossible to get back in..

 

so for quick combat,,i just run a shorcut to cfs3.exe

 

for mp,,i run a shortcut thru cfs3mp.exe

 

I know this does nothing for campaigns...

 

there is a "run windowed" option somewhere, that i think lets you run the game like any other window, dont know what other implications it has on how the game plays.

Just tested Alt+Tab. I was able to minimize the game but it locked up. Not windows, just the game. I have tried different ways of minimizing OFF ( Ctrl+Alt+Del, Cntrl+Shift+Escape and the windows key) with the same results. I had OFF paused once and my grandson hit the windows key. By the time I got back to it, about 10 minutes, the computer was locked up too.

ALT-TAB works for me, but I noticed I have to use ALT-TAB to get out of OFF and to get back in (can't just click OFF on the task bar). In fact, I used it just this morning to grab and edit some screen shots while still running OFF.

ALT+TAB works for me but only if I have another 'foreground' app. to switch to, i.e. if I have Photoshop open and then start OFF it'll ALT+TAB fine. If I try to ALT+TAB out of OFF then start Photoshop it'll sometimes work but not always and is prone to crashing OFF.

 

On-screen alerts, e.g. updates to AV, keyboeard/mouse battey warnings are the very devils and Polovski advises to turn off whatever you can in that regard.

I find that using the winkey then selecting the program you want from the menu doesn't cause me any lock ups. I will use notepad to copy the current flight names to then print it so I can use there names when needed for claims. In doing it this way you are not minimizing off. Works for me anyway.

Funny thing Alt Tab has always crashed my PC even in plain CFS3 (and over several PCs). Vista64 works better in this regard.

 

I find I can do it once maybe twice, if I first pause, then bring down the menu (Esc). Wait a few seconds then firmly press and hold alt first, then a second later press tab. Odd but works for me.

Come back soon though or it hangs.
