Is it possible to make the windowed mode larger? I love to drive RW while I'm online or working on a re-paint but can only do that in windowed mode, but IT"S TOO SMALL. What say you?

There is borderless windowed mode which gives you a lot more screen real estate (I guess you are using the windows recommended resolution on your monitor (ie in TS2014) before switching to windowed mode). (Right click on desktop and choose "screen resolution" - with thanks to ArizonaChris).

I've used this setting in FSX when I was writing reviews - easier to alt-tab out to next window etc!
Just a note windowed mode may be more resource hungry than full mode - it just depends how the game is rendered.

Another problem with windowed mode is that it makes things look darker, especially in the cab views, because it ignores the in-game brightness setting (this is why some people thought it was impossible to see the controls in the Connie, even in daylight, without switching on the cab lights ... it was because they were using windowed mode). The solution is to turn up the gamma externally.

Thanks guys. Good stuff. You learn somthin new every day.

Hi, Buzz. I run a laptop with a 1920x1080 LCD. I have to run in windowed mode because of temperature issues if I run full-screen. TS allows you to select a number of different resolutions windowed, but you need to select the one resolution that fills your screen best for your purposes. I found that 1600x900 works best for me, but there are several others you can choose. Trial-and-error will get you to where you want to be. Also, in windowed mode, you cannot dynamically resize the window. It's fixed at a particular resolution and aspect ratio until you change it in Settings.
Hope this helps!
Best,
