Desktop Mirror Resolution

[pikmin124]

Hi all,

 

At present, I find DCS's desktop mirror to be too low res to be useful for recording or streaming while in VR. I like to record my flights, and my girlfriend occasionally wants to watch over steam's streaming service, and I'd like them to look a bit better in both cases.

 

The solution given here has provided a fix, but for me it feels a little dirty and makes me feel gross inside. It also forces me to change my desktop resolution every time I want to play DCS.

My research suggests that the properties of the desktop mirror are controlled by the applications being run. I'm wondering if there's a .lua file or something I can use to access these properties, or if there's another way to change the resolution of the mirror without messing with my desktop.

 

As a side note, it would also be nice to change the window size, as I currently have to move my taskbar in order to click on menu options near the bottom of the screen.

 

I am running windows 10.

 

Thanks

Nope, my tutorial is really the only solution. I stream and make youtube content like this, and am always open to new ideas and am always looking for something. I've run through all the .lua files (I'm a software engineer so they all make sense to me), but have found nothing that helps, and actually never really expected to since the desktop mirror is exactly what your left eye would see and any alteration would break either the mirror or dcs. Why not just leave it always 4k? Thats what i do, pretty much every game still works fine at that resolution for me.
