With the new Dexpot 1.6 running, when FSX is launched, a window becomes visible that didn't before. Once loaded, the normal game setup/launch becomes visible, but with this other phantom window still in the background. Also, despite FSX having been configured to start in full screen mode, it now always starts in windowed mode in the phantom window.
It seems like FSX creates an invisible window when it starts, which is the main rendering window. It then makes this window visible when the flight selections are complete. However, with Dexpot 1.6 this invisible window is somehow forcibly made visible immediately, and any full screen is ignored (once in a flight, full screen can be enabled again).
This did not occur with 1.5. If 1.6 is not running, the behavior returns to normal.
Is there some new window handling that causes this, and some setting that can be changed to fix it?
