scsimodo42 Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I hope someone here can help me. Since one of the last updates I have an annoying problem. My PC is on my desk on the left side of the room and is connected to my Simpit including a TV screen on the right side of the room. One of the screens on my desk is configured as the main screen in Windows. In the past I could drag the DCS game window onto the Simpit's TV in windowed mode and maximize it with ALT+ENTER. After that DCS always started maximized on this TV, as windows seemed to save this constellation. Since one of the updates, ALT+ENTER doesn't work anymore and I only get a fullscreen DCS when I set it to fullscreen mode and configure the TV as the main screen in Windows. Unfortunately, that's really annoying, because I don't only play DCS and I have to set my main screen as such in Windows every time! I've already tried to solve the problem by messing with multi-monitor LUA, but I also have massive problems there and would have to invest a lot of time for an actually simple problem...whould be really nice to have an "always display DCS on screen x" option in the graphics settings.

MadKreator Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Just a thought, what if you set windows to duplicate the desktop instead of extending the display? Will DCS launch on whichever display you opened it on or will it just mirror and open on both?

On my desk is also a second monitor that I further want to use as an extended desktop. But thanks, could have been a really good soulution! I think I have to figure out how to properly manipulate the monitor LUAs...
MadKreator Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 I only mess with Helios and basic mfd exports. I see quite a few people having the same issue as you, especially since ED adjusted the fullscreen logic to work “ correctly”. 1 Intel i7 13700k, ASUS rog strix z790A, 64gigs G.Skill Trident DDR5 @6400Mhz, Nvidia RTX 4080FE, 4TB, 2x 2TB, 1TB Samsung NVME, 1TB Samsung SSD, Corsair RM1000x, Corsair Titan 360 X AIO cooler, Lian Li LanCool 2, VKB Gunfighter Ultimate, VKB Custom STECS , MFG Crosswinds, Moza FFB, Virpil Collective, Track IR5, 48” LG UltraGear OLED & HP 24” touchscreen for Helios,49” Samsung Ultrawide, Streamdeck XL, Corsair Virtuoso RGB Headphones

I think I have to figure out how to properly manipulate the monitor LUAs... When you set duplicate desktop for the main monitor pair they'll both switch to the lower resolution. It's an extra step to ready your pit but it will solve the problem. Keep that one in mind if you don't find a lua fix.
