Goa Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 In 2.5 DCS already starts in fullscreen, if you press alt+enter it goes in "windowed" mode. Just FYI. I set gsync to "full screen only", enabled gsync indicator, when the game is launched i get "G sync on", if i press alt+enter Gsync disappers meaning the game is not anymore in fullscreen. :thumbup: CPU : Intel i7 8700k@5.0ghz cooled by Noctua NH-D15 / Motherboard:Asorck Z370 Taichi / RAM: 32GB GSkill TridentZ @3600mhz / SSD: 500GB Nvme Samsung 970 evo+1 TB Sabrent Nvme M2 / GPU:Asus Strix OC 2080TI / Monitor: LG 34KG950F Ultrawide / Trackir 5 proclip/ VIRPIL CM2 BASE + CM2 GRIP + F148 GRIP + 200M EXTENSION /VKB T-Rudder MKIV rudder /Case: Fractal Design R6 Define black

I noticed the same...I have not Gsync but having a 144hz 1440p monitor I use fast sync and if I press alt enter it is not working...

BitMaster Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I dont think so, when I launch 2.5b I can still see my Asus FanXpert4 Overlay on the lower right side of the screen. Whenever I see that knob sticking out I know I am not in FS mode. Maybe it's different with different drivers/windows versions.

FlankerMan Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Is there a way to have the game full screen, but still have the task bar visible?
scampaboy Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I don't know if its full screen or not but if i press alt enter when i enter a mission i get better performance. I only have full screen enabled in settings and v sync in nvidia settings

Art-J Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Mixed bag for me, it flips between FS and Borderless Windowed and back for no apparent reason (though I've noticed switching between terrains without restarting the game seems to have something to do with it, at least on my PC). But at least I don't have to Alt-Enter every single effin' time when going from 2D to 3D rendering as I had to in 2.2, it's "only" 50% occurence now, so there's progress :D. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

msalama Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Depends on the map. Caucasus starts in fullscreen, others don't since I can still see screen tearing if I don't press Alt-Enter. But as soon as I do, vsync kicks in (no tearing anymore) and the performance is markedly better too. :dunno: The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Goa Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 I am talking about caucasus as I dont have NTTR/nORMANDY installed at the moment. As I play with Gsync I have set it in fullscreen only, when starting the game it is already in fullscreen as my monitor says "g sync activated", as I press alt+enter "g sync is deactivated, therefore at least on my system, pressing alt+enter NOW it's working the opposite. An official statement from ED would be appreciated in this regard.

Ironhand Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 What toogle ?In system/option there is an option for "full screen" ALT+Enter, I believe, used to be the key-combo to toggle between the window and full screen modes.

It's not something exclusive to DCS, many other games can make use of left alt enter for switching between windowed fullscreen and true fullscreen, it's a DirectX/Windows thing.

BitMaster Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 It's a windows command, got nothing to do with dcs or ed. Gsync is also very driver dependant. More than a few drivers I used since I have Gsync had crippled Gsync functionality. Your Win10 should kick Gsync on by itself, the WinGUI/Explorer on my end is Gsynced ever since I run Win10. With Win7 the desktop is not gsynced. My Gsync LED light goes red as soon as I login, it only goes amber or grey with faulty drivers or by setting it to off. Amber is ULMB and grey is OFF/default ( neither ULMB nor Gsync enabled ).
