Popout Window
The popout window was introduced in v1.2.0 and displays information like your active flight plan callsign, destination, and landing rates. It will remain on top of other windows unless the window it is over is a fullscreen game. In that case, you must keep your game windowed. If you need upscaling to retain frames, go to Upscaling Your Simulator and Keeping the Popout On-Screen

If your simulator still overlays the FSTools popout without fullscreen active, and you want to upscale your game's resolution for more frames, then you've come to the right place. Although you're not truly upscaling using the game, you will be upscaling using Windows.
