Transponder control disappears

Did my first Pilotedge flight tonight. Only question I have is that little transponder box on the PE app. I thought it disappeared a couple of times on my second monitor where I have my moving map, and then realized it was hiding behind the moving map. Is there any trick to get it to stay on top, either with a second monitor or on the main P3D screen?

You can use a 3rd party utility to force it to float. Or, you can ignore it, it's not really needed for the flight. Once you know your mic works, you don't really need the TX indicator.

I say this because I use 2 radios in my airplane. One has a TX/RX indicator, the other has a TX indicator only....and I never really pay attention to any of them unless the music is really cranking :)

Only problem I had was when I had to squawk ident during a flight and box was behind moving map. I found an app called "Always on top" and it is free and works perfectly.
