There's a box to check in the settings section of the sim and right now I can't think of the name of it. If you check it the sim will keep running while minimized.
Be sure that you have enough ram to run the sim, Windows and the net at the same time. Minimum, 1 gig.

Alternatively you can download a patch which will allow you to be in this forum, whilst flying. Is that what you're asking for? Well, if it is, then just get the patch in this section, which is a sticky, and put it in the Aircraft folder. To get into this website whilst you're flying it's the control commands tab.

I think that dear RadarMan means this :

Hit alt and then select the followings

After you will get this screen

Uncheck the Pause on task switch and FS will continue running on background every time you hit the start key to go to Windows.

Alternatively as Mc_GaNgStA points you can use the following utility.It adds an Internet Browser to your kneeboard.

File name : kb_utils.zip(Second from the end)

Hi,

I've downloaded kb_utils.zip but I can't find the file that allows you to have the net on your kneeboard. Within the file, are checklists and charts which i'm not too intersted in, but I can't find the file that I need to copy that will allow me to have the internet on my kneeboard.

Any ideas, thanks Wink
