Playing FL in a windowed screen?

Post by Voodoo »

Does anybody know if it is possible to plat FL in a windowed screen.  So that it is possible to still look through the internet or watch youtube etc whilst I trade.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers.

EDIT - Its ok just ignore this. I figured out how to do it.

just to make it clear, we recommend closing all other internet applications while playing on the server.
unless youre on a high speed connection, it will cause lag on the server.
we do our best to optimize the mod for best performance, please do your part.
this is a general notice so dont take offense, thanks.

It is possible btw...and good for loong and boring trade routes...you just need to put -w in the end of the path in the shortcut. So for Void it will look like these: ...EXE\Freelancer.exe" -w
