ALT-Enter no longer maximises the VR mirror

Alt-enter no longer maximises the VR mirror.
 
Pain for VR, because despite selecting "mouse confined to game window" I can still unfocus the VR mirror and headset by clicking in my periphery while wearing the VR rig. Been that way for years, through 3 different rigs on different drivers and platforms.
 
Alt-entering the mirror was the only way of fixing it.

I don't use VR, but Alt-Enter does also not work for me any longer.

For WWII, because of spotting, I ran DCS in a 1440p window and switched to 4k borderless window via Alt-Enter.

Now it seems DCS does not catch Alt-Enter at all.

It does not work if your system resolution is lower than monitor's native resolution. In my case the VR mirror size changes to 1920x1080 but it still won't maximise to full screen. I have 4K monitor.

+1 Please let us have this option back. Now my Point CTRL Calibration is way off and going to have to redo it in order to use it again. Why in the world was this taken away??

Bump.. is this being fixed, or do we have to revert to previous iterations?

And great to the ONE GUY that I keep reading over and over from on here that it isn't affecting him on this topic.. it's affecting the rest of us; impossible to go actual fullscreen, resolution is defaulting to desktop (not VR), framerates are 1/2 or worse. I also know fullscreen isn't being applied because the SteamVR overlay cannot be de-prioritized (hidden) unless done so within the SteamVR options.

This has been driving me crazy but I found a workaround.

I've been able to maximize DCS by going into Task Manager, selecting DCS and right-click to Maximize. Still a pain, but at least my Point Control will work.

Hello,

There is a similar thread in 2D forum
A workaround exist and i tested it in VR mode : it works on mirror but it is a black screen (we don't care about the mirror 😉 )

The good news : performances are very better with this 'restored' ALT ENTER tips

see that

Add me to the list - This single issue should be at the top of DCS's "TO DO LIST"

Your customers are speaking (SCREAMING!!!) you would be advised to listen.

Your competition has fangs and desperately want to steal your customer base.

Your customer base wants this fixed.  New development comes after prioritized repair and maintenance of the current product.

DCS 2.7  and DCS Open Beta 2.7 are better than DCS Open Beta 2.8.  We know the Beta is a WIP, so progress - We don't just want it - WE EXPECT IT After all WE pay for it!!!

Right now the only way to get the ALT+ENT effect is to check this option in the DCS VR options, (Attached image)

So you can maximize the mirror

I'm not really sure if this was fixed in 2.8 or earlier.  Currently, when 'Use DCS Sys Resolution' is checked on my rig,  so is 'Crop to Rectangle' and "Mirror Eye Source' is set to 'Right', I get my full screen VR repeater and it works great!   Previously, the screen was stretched with the same settings.
