EckyThump Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I am a newcomer to DCS, and am eager to plunge into it. However, I am having some problems with the size of my display area. I wonder if anyone has guidance for me in this matter. When I open DCS, I see the DCS logo and login screen placed neatly in the centre of my screen, not occupying the whole screen area. I login, and the DCS logo appears larger, filling the screen in fact, but curiously offset to the right. The Chief's head is almost at the right-hand edge. On the next screen I see a picture of clouds, which looks OK, but I notice that the progress bar appears to extend beyond the right hand edge of my screen. I then see the opening forested mountain view screen with various scenarios displayed from left to right across the lower part of the screen, with arrows at either side to permit me to navigate through the range of offerings. These right- and left-arrows are correctly placed, at the left and right sides of the display. I see an Options in the top area of that screen, and I select it so that I may investigate why my display appears to be too large in some, but not all, parts of the program. The screen which then appears is too large to permit me to see all the buttons, since they go beyond my right-hand edge. If I try to make any changes, I cannot commit them because the 'OK' or 'APPLY' button is not displayed, nor can the screen be scrolled to permit me to access them. I only have the option to CANCEL. I am using the recommended graphics settings for Windows 10 (1024x768). My monitor is a Vizio E241i-B1. This is the second monitor I'm trying. I had the same problem with a Samsung UN32J4000. I hope someone can help me with this problem. AntiTHANKScipation. (THANKS in anticipation).
The_Nephilim Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Hi, From what you are saying here your monitor is in 1024 x 768 resolution? well if so, that is your Problem that is a 4:3 Aspect ration on a 16:9 Aspect ratio TV.. try running in 1920 x 1080 and let us know how it looks then.. Intel Ultra 265K 5.5GHZ / Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite / MSI 4070Ti Ventus 12GB / SoundBlaster Z SoundCard / Corsair Vengance 64GB Ram / HP Reverb G2 / Samsung 980 Pro 2TB Games / Crucial 512GB M.2 Win 11 Pro 21H2 / ButtKicker Gamer / CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh V2 PC Case
Svsmokey Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Exactly right . 1024x768 is the Windows default , not a "recommendation" . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
EckyThump Posted March 13, 2021 Author Posted March 13, 2021 Thanks for your suggestions. I noticed that my monitor, though of a newer model, was not very high-spec. So I swapped it for an older one of higher spec. That sorted it out.
