Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
P3D v4 error message about direct draw

Hi J,
It is to do with low memory. What OS are you using?
You will probably find it happening if you have previously (or at the same time) have memory intensive progs open or having been used ie. CAD/graphics/painting progs etc. So your memory is low, this will cause the problem. Yes to an FSDS re-start, but the display prob will come back after a while if you do not close other progs first, and if you are going to be using FSDS a lot, a system re-start will clear/refresh the memory for you to use.

Wonderful. but I think my mem is ok but all this is very good info. The only difference is I have changed video cards.Maybe some changes in the new card might help. I use Win 10. Had no problem with Win 10. Expanded view does work ini the other panes... just not i preview pane anymore. I get that direct draw message. I checked my direct draw with dxdiag but found no problems. oh well. I'lll do some more checking about. Thanx for the info. Hope you are doing well during all this Covid mess. Bob
