DCS World v1.5 and Screen Modes

[Devrim]

Hey.

 

What's wrong with DCS World and screen modes? It was working great, but with v1.5.x DCS completely goes crazy with it.

 

I selected MFCD from "MONITORS" menu (resolution was selected 1600x900 btw). When clicked OK, DCS window became a little square in the middle of the screen. See attachment. And no menu link worked! I had to stop DCS via Windows Task Manager.

 

And still bug related with Full Screen bug exists!

 

Thank you.

In a version 1.5, if Gui is set up in MonitorSetup as a result which “DCS_launcher.exe” and “DCS.exe” unified, it will be reflected also in OpeningGui.

 

conventional mod as an example :

Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup\eyefiniy.lua

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Eyefinity');

Description = 'One monitor configuration'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect;

}

}

Gui =

{

x = screen.width / 3;

y = 0;

width = screen.width / 3;

height = screen.height;

}

 

UIMainView = Gui

I'm having the exact same problem when I switched to 3 screen mode on my laptop. How did you resolve this?

 

Thanks DD

Nice help from JAPman -

 

For clarity, here is the File path for the config file for DCS 1.5: C:/Users/"YOUR computer/username"/saved games/DCS/config/options.lua (or DCSopenalpha if you need DCS 2.0)

 

Open the file options.lua with Wordpad and search for word "Height" and edit the resolution number you find there (like possibly 1080) to the resolution pixel height of your monitor (example is 1920 x 1200 where 1920 is width and 1200 is height).

 

Then search for word "width" and do same.

 

Save file and restart DCS

 

Worked for me.

 

If you are unsure about editing files, make a back-up copy of the options.lua file before you edit it for safety.

 

Cheers!
