Hi Oliver,

I found this tip in the FS 2004 FAQ at simflight.com:

· How can I hide the menu bar in window mode or display it permanently in full-screen mode?

Change HideMenuNormal=0 to 1 in the [MAIN] section of the fs9.cfg file, display it with the ALT key
Change HideMenuFullScreen=1 to 0 in this same section

>> Hi Oliver,
>>
>> If you're using a laptop, try these suggestions...
>> If not, try pressing ALT+ENTER to activate Full Screen mode.
>>
>> Check your manual and see if they list instructions there as to
>> which BIOS setting or keyboard Fn key you can use to setup
>> "Fit to Screen" video mode.  That's a common laptop feature.
>>
>> Another thought that comes to mind is to see if you can start
>> the game in window mode using a switch (check the game's
>> readme file) and then maximize that window to Full Screen. ;-)

>> Please post back with your finding, and I'll add it to my KB. :-)
