how to configure two stacked displays

[skypickle]

I have two displays, one above the other. In DCS options, I see many screen config options for other configs-three screens, 1 screen an two MFCDs, etc. But there is no option for two vertically stacked screens. Is this possible?

I havent tried it myself but it shouldn't be too difficult to try and see what the outcome is.

I'm assuming you want your cockpit viewpoint to be shown on both screens. Also assuming they are the same physical size and resolution. If they aren't, you want to place the lower monitor centrally compared to the upper monitor

Try the following:

In windows, display settings, make sure your monitors are configured correctly, one above the other and centralised.

In the settings menu leave it on 1 screen configuration.

In the resolution setting, scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. You should find an odd resolution that is the sum of your two monitors combined. Select that and restart.

Eg. two 1080p monitors should make 1920x2160 available to select.

The menu screen will probably fill both monitors at this point, but this can be sorted later, just see if you like the cockpit view, as it will be mostly a flat view looking forward just with more of instrument panel displayed.

Your head position may not be in the ideal place, but this can be sorted later with snap-views.

See how that goes, come back and report on your findings.

 

Then:

If you post a screenshot of your display settings from windows, explain what resolution your monitors are, and how you have them setup, I'll try and write a monitor config setup file for you.
