Can't extend DCS screen to another monitor

[uboats]

I have a Laptop 1600x900 and external Monitor (orig 1920x1080) with (I set to) 1600x900.

 

Now laptop is main screen and extended screen is that Monitor. Then I wrote below config:

_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Test');
Description = 'Test'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
	x = 0;
	y = 0;
	width = 3200;
	height = 900;
	viewDx = 0;
	viewDy = 0;
	aspect = 3.5555555555556;
}
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center

 

But after simulator started, the screen of laptop shows the left half of view while the monitor is still showing the background of win 8.1 NOT the right half of view.

 

How to solve the problem? I tried to switch the position of two monitors as well as the main screen. But it didn't work.

Did you put DCS in window'ed mode?

no, full window mode. Many guys mentioned that full window can get better graphic performance

Yes, you get slightly better performance in fullscreen mode, but you can't extend the display the way you want without turning fullscreen mode off.

Alright, I see. Does it mean that for those who are using 3-monitor setup, they also have to turn off full window mode? I thought the monitor configuration brought from DCS is capable for either full-window or windowed mode.

 

thx

tried to uncheck full-screen, but the gui and simulator are still full screen. :cry:

Make sure to set your screen resolution in the DCS options to 3200x900.

Even though there is a pulldown in that spot, you can edit the field by hand as well.
