I really need to run this in a window. I've been used to doing multiple things at the same time like watching movies and I would like to run this in a window. Is there any way this is possible??

What I do is press the windows key which goes to desktop and then do what I have to do there.I have Lou's map open so I can just go back and forth,works great!

How can you fly a WW1 plane and do something else at the same time ? eek
For me it's a full time job even after all these years...

LOL I cheat.I press pause and read map and then back to WOFF.I would like to setup a separate PC to run the map one of these days but for now it works well as is.

I have recently tried a setup with two monitors (but now I don't get it working again - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!)
I also connected my second (older) monitor with my graphic card - one is connected via HDMI port, the
older one with the old connection.
In the graphic card's menue (Catalyst Control Center) I saw the overall width was now both horizontal
resolutions summed up together (3570 px).
Then I opened Lou's map in Windows viewer and moved the viewer to the right desktop, where I adjusted
the overall size of the viewer's frame.
Then I started WOFF, and it was only on the left, larger monitor. Worked nicely - all over one card.

Just tried this and it works perfectly.Had an old 21in laying around so I plugged it in and voila,I can open the map and drag it over to this screen!! clapping Thanks Olham for the suggestion.
