Horns Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I have an AOC Agon AG271QG 27" 2560 x 1440 (1440p) monitor. I love the high res but in DCS it makes it too hard to spot ground objects, so I'm reluctantly trying 1920 x 1080 (1080p) to see if that helps. The problem is that every time I start DCS World 1.5.7 it only takes up the 1080p sized desktop real estate instead of going full-screen (screenshot attached). In DCS 1.5.7 I've tried unchecking and rechecking "full screen" and "scale GUI" and the result doesn't change. In "Nvidia Control Panel" - "Display" - "Adjust desktop size and position" - "Scaling" - "Select a scaling mode", I have tried all three options of "Aspect ratio", "Full-screen" and "No scaling", with "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" both checked and unchecked, but the result is still the same. Strangely enough, my DCS 2.1.1 correctly defaults to full-screen every time. This is despite having exactly the same settings as my 1.5.7 install - in fact, I copied the "options.lua" from my 2.1.1 install into my 1.5.7 install, and the result was still that DCS 1.5.7 would not default to full-screen. My monitor is an AOC Agon AG271QG 27" 1440p and my graphics card is an MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GamingX 11G. Does anyone know a way to force DCS World 1.5.7 @1080 to default to full screen on a @1440p monitor? Any help will be appreciated.

hansangb Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 JM1, have you changed the resolution in the game settings? And it's the monitor.lua file that you want, isn't it? C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup\ Maybe there is a mismatch in the in game resolution settings? hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Horns Posted October 12, 2017 Author Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) JM1, have you changed the resolution in the game settings? And it's the monitor.lua file that you want, isn't it? C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\MonitorSetup\ Maybe there is a mismatch in the in game resolution settings? Thanks for replying :-) I think maybe I was unclear... I have one screen, and I am trying to reduce the resolution from 2560 x 1440 to 1920 x 1080. I have changed the resolution in the game settings, but I just looked again and confirmed it, just in case (screenshot attached). The options.lua is the file that sets resolution. The monitorsetup.lua is for multi-monitor setup. Edited October 12, 2017 by Horns Mistakenly put 'settings.lua' instead of 'options.lua' Modules: [A-10C] [AJS 37] [AV8B N/A] [F-5E] [F-14] [F/A-18C] [FC3] [Ka-50] [M-2000C] [Mig-21 bis] [NTTR] [PG] [SC] Intel i7-12700F, Nvidia GTX 3080, MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi, 32GB DDR4 @ 1600 MHz, SteelSeries Apex Pro, Razer Basilisk 3 VKB Gunfighter 3 w/ F-14 grip, Thrustmaster Warthog throttle, Thrustmaster MFD Cougars x2, MFG Crosswind, DSD Flight Series button controller, XK-24, Oculus Rift (HM-A)
