museumsteve Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 New here and new to DCS so please be nice ;) Thought I'd give it a spin ready for the Oculus Rift more than anything but in the meantime I wanted ot give it a blast last night. I set the res to 1920x1080 and all seems good but when I launch it defaults to 1024x768. Am I missing something really obvious.

Thanks mate, I'll have a play tonight and report back if any further issues.

museumsteve Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Still no joy for me. I'm using a projector with native res of 1920x1080, not had issues with anything else. Tried as admin and still the same. Happy to listen to ideas :) No rush, plenty of other stuff to keep me busy ;) PC - Intel i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz / Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 16GB DDR3 / GTX 780 3GB BenQ W1080ST / W7 Home Premium x64 Control - X52 (for now) Tactile - SimVibe / Motion - Lince 2dof 100mm SCN5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then go into your game options and do windows mode..

In your computer on display right click in the desktop open your Video control panel make sure you have the projector as your display device from your video control panel. In DCS World there is an options menu in there for display choose window mode.

museumsteve Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the replies mate but alas I can't get it working right. I only have one display which is my default 1920x1080. In the game options I select 1920x1080 16:9 and untick Full Screen. When I launch a flight it flips to 1024x768 and when I go back to options it's changed the res and ratio and ticked the Full Screen button for me :s I assume there's no where I should be saving the options when I make them (cant see a 'save' button. I'm not desperate right now as I'm more interested in trying it when my Oculus Rift is here but would be cool to have a blast :) EDIT - and the only way to run as admin is to use the RUN.exe in the steam/DCS folder ? EDIT 2 - I'm wondering if it's my amp that's the issue. My HDMI from GTX780 goes into my Onkyo amp then on to the projector, it's never been an issue to date but there's always a first time :s Edited July 16, 2014 by museumsteve PC - Intel i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz / Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 16GB DDR3 / GTX 780 3GB BenQ W1080ST / W7 Home Premium x64 Control - X52 (for now) Tactile - SimVibe / Motion - Lince 2dof 100mm SCN5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
