[WAD] View message log in a separate window

Post by nukkxx5058 »

View message log in a separate window won't work anymore. It was working just fine and then stopped. Now the window detached itself from the main game window but is nowhere.

Any idea ?
Thanks

Click on the "Game" tab and then "Game Options". Make sure the Message Log in separate window box is unchecked and click the "Reset Positions of Secondary Windows" button. When you click the Message Log in Separate Window box again, it should pop up.

Maybe the Devs can make that automatically reset each startup or have the game remember the setting, but I have to do this each time I play.

Great ! it worked perfectly.
Agreed, it would be good it it was done automatically but at least it works.
Now I remember I had this also with CMANO but it was long time ago and I didnt remember.
Many thanks.

The issue seems that it is being 'attached' to some location off-screen. In some cases, it will revert back to the standard location on your main screen, but sometimes the secondary location persists.
Are you using multiple monitors?

Yes, I spread the game across three monitors. One for the map, one for the database viewer, and the third for the throttle/Altitude, formation editor, and the message log. Had the same issue when I had two screens.
