Hey guys...After having DCS:BS for a couple months I found this forum after looking into making the experience better then it already is. I have been trying to set up a dual monitor system and after searching through the forum today and using the wiki feature I am at wits end. I believe my problem is that I cannot set the resolution in the options menu in BS to 2880x1024.
I am running a 1600x900 as my primary screen, and a 1280x1024 as my right screen. I have Win7 and am running the latest BS patch. I have the screens setup to "extend these displays" e.g. to make them as one screen. When I run BS and start up a mission the primary screen and secondary screen flickers from the BS menu to my desktop, and once the game starts I have the pit in the primary screen and my desktop image in my right screen. Here's my monitor setup file/lua that I have been using-
Description = 'ABRIS and Shkval on the right and camera on the center'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1600;
height = 900;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1.77778;
}
}
Shkval =
{
x = 1600;
y = 0;
width = 512;
height = 1024/2; -- to keep the aspect correct, half the height of the secondary screen
}
ABRIS =
{
x = 2240;
y = 0;
width = 512; -- half the secondary screen pixel width
height = 1024; -- full height of the secondary screen
}
Here is my options.lua I have modified-
["graphics"] =
{
["multiMonitorSetup"] = "Test1",
["color"] = "32",
["heatBlr"] = 0,
["scenes"] = "medium",
["water"] = 0,
["fullScreen"] = false,
["visibRange"] = "High",
["aspect"] = 2.8125,
["textures"] = 2,
["shadows"] = 2,
["display_mode"] =
{
["avi"] =
{
["bpp"] = 32,
["resolution"] = "640x480",
["full_screen"] = false,
["aspect"] = 1.333333,
["height"] = 480,
["width"] = 640,
}, -- end of ["avi"]
}, -- end of ["display_mode"]
["effects"] = 3,
["lights"] = 2,
["haze"] = 1,
["terrPrld"] = "20",
["height"] = 1024,
["resolution"] = "1600x900",
["civTraffic"] = 0,
["width"] = 2880,
}, -- end of ["graphics"]
} -- end of options
at this point I'm ready to start chucking monitors across the room...can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance guys.
