FlyingHighAU Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Hi All, I have recently found this little application very useful for DCS as well as other games that don't multi-task well with Alt-Tabbing. You set DCS to use window'd mode, and this application maximises DCS to fullscreen - so visually there is no difference. The difference however is that you can ALT-TAB or even move your mouse to other monitors without minimizing DCS which can sometimes cause a crash or at least a very long delay for the game to start rendering correctly.

Joni Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Is it possible that this only happens with nvidia? I used to have an radeon and never had this horrible flickering problem after minimizing.

Shahdoh Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 For me, just running windows mode, with the DCS resolution set to my primary monitor(2 monitors) resolution works just fine. No crashes from DCS and can alt tab to other applications all without a problem. No secondary application required and it looks the same as full screen, no borders etc. /shrug Nvidia graphics, currently GTX980, but was doing this with an earlier 580.

Shahdoh Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Thats how I have it, uncheck fullscreen and run DCS at the resolution of your monitor.
