Mr_Burns Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Probably not a 1.5 issue but I managed to mess around with the resolution and now DCS only shows up on one screen. The problem is, the part where you press 'OK' to accept changes is hidden. So I am stuck here, with the resolution spanning over two screens but the bottom screen not doing anything. I have tried restarting, it does the same in game, ive tried to change the resolution as that is just visible in the top screen under options but then I cant press save changes as its hidden at the bottom. Does anyone know which .lua file needs editing?? Thanks. Edited October 26, 2015 by BIGNEWY
Mr_Burns Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Not getting an answer, anyone from the developers read these forums / have an idea? I'm going to have to re-install it, this is why I like hardware, I think that all new pc programs should be available on USB memory sticks with a box and paper manual.....ahh the nostalgia of DCS on DVD!!
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 26, 2015 ED Team Posted October 26, 2015 Hi mr burns. Try creating a new dcs.openbeta saved games folder, rename the old one so you have it as a backup and dcs.open beta will create a new one when it starts. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 26, 2015 ED Team Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) is your ingame resolution the same as the windows monitor you are trying to use? if you are trying to use both screens what is the total resolution, dcs will also want to use the top left most monitor so it needs to be the main one in windows unless you edit the .lua file.

Mr_Burns Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 BN you are a genius. Thank you, OMFG i looked at every .lua in the bloody game folder, changed DCS.openbeta to DCS.openbetaSAVE and opened DCS, saw it create a new DCS.openbeta file and it worked. Thanks pal!! :-)
Mr_Burns Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 It could be a bug, or just a change. If you select a resolution that is different to your profile it creates a problem. So in my case i select in options 2048x1152 which is my top monitor. I then select the profile A-10c virtual cockpit server which spans 2048x2304 and then I get the problem that half the GUI and screen is on the lower second screen. Same with other multi screen setups where the resolution is different. I want the GUI and the Sim on the top screen but the exported MFDs on the lower screen...
