Slaughterised Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Is there actually fullscreen in DCS? What is see being called fullscreen right now is borderless, and it messes up with other windows by being like that.
Kadin Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Alt+Enter will get you in true full screen in case you did not know. It is not documented yet. I am pretty sure that eventually it will get shorted out.

I am pretty sure that eventually it will get shorted out. Does this really work with almost any game? I thought it was like just what some games decided to have.
Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Question is, in my case using a NVidia GF 960, is there an advantage in using windowed mode instead of full-screen, when running, as I do, DCS in the native PC resolution of 1920 x 1080 ? Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream...
Shmick Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Does this really work with almost any game? I thought it was like just what some games decided to have. I don't know of any other games for which "full screen" doesn't mean actually full screen. Several have a separate "Full screen windowed" option. From what I understand (can't seem to find a reference now, sorry) they made the change in 1.5 to facilitate Alt-Tabbing (which hasn't helped for me)

Same Question from me. Only thing I can say here - you can't export MFD or Shkval to different monitor if full-screen enabled. Всех убью, один останусь!
SkateZilla Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Alt+Enter is a Standard DirectX Command to Toggle Fullscreen on/off. FYI Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
SharpeXB Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Some games seem to run smoother in borderless vs full screen. I've noticed that in Battlefield 4, CoD Advanced Warfare and SW Battlefront. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
Jamesp1 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Some games seem to run smoother in borderless vs full screen. I've noticed that in Battlefield 4, CoD Advanced Warfare and SW Battlefront. I think that's because the graphics driver disable certain graphical effects in windowed mode so the graphics are/can be worse than windowed mode. Don't know a lot about it though, and if this game is designed to work in borderless window rather than full screen, maybe they don't use them anyway? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can comment.
