RotoDan Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 After I launch DCS, the window is not full screen and the full screen button is greyed out. I also have no keyboard functions other than some basic navigation so there is no way to configure my setup. My module is the UH-60 blackhawk. Other than the install took 11 days, that seemed to go well. Installing the module was easy and appears to be working. Any suggestions for this or a fix ? My system is windows 10 pro on an HP Z840, 164 Gb ram, Nvidia K6000 graphics 12 Gb.

RotoDan Posted September 10, 2024 Author Posted September 10, 2024 That made no apparent change at all. TNX

RotoDan Posted September 10, 2024 Author Posted September 10, 2024 Hi. Everything does run smoothly, the main issue is not going to full screen in DCS. I did find a couple bugs in the mod like it won't cold start. I will be downloading the latest upgrade and try that. If you look at my screenshots, you see from the beginning the full screen button (between minimize and exit) is greyed out.
RotoDan Posted September 11, 2024 Author Posted September 11, 2024 OK, I solved the full screen problem, much better. A bug I think is still, settings panels/tabs are still partially hidden in the border. My very problem with full screen, was at the bottom right, the OK/save button was nearly gone so even after making changes, nothing was saved. Thanks folks for any help, RotoDan

RotoDan Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 OK. I can attach 'options.lua , a new issue is this hijacks my screenshot function, I have to restart the system to even get back 'pictures folder' When I do cold start in full screen the graphic are stretched losing like 2 inches on each side. I can't find an aspect ratio setting to correct this Still, the controls settings are scrolled out of view both left and right. effectively, I can't dock my Saitek rudder pedals because the 3rd tab is hidden. options.lua
RotoDan Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 Shots with phone, you can clearly see something is not right.

RotoDan Posted September 14, 2024 Author Posted September 14, 2024 Hi. My monitor is 1980X1080. I was able to change this after switching the launched window to 2X. So now I do have full screen but a couple of issues with the UH-60 mod. I also have the OH-6 mod and that one works good, so far. I installed the AH-6 little bird, but it is not showing on my installed modules. I am making progress with my issues, who might I contact about problems with the UH-60 module ?

ED is not in the business to give us a base game thats free and then support free modules. not good business sense. another thing you can try that is quick is rename the DCS folder in the Saved Games folder. when DCS restarts you will get a new fresh DCS folder which will be free of debris. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

The original developer got hired by Polychop, so don't expect any major development on the UH-60L, the Littlebird on the other hand...What exactly is your problem? I've tried to look at the pictures, is she screen like squashed? What is the screen setting in DCS? Have you tried to manually set the correct resolution?Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
silverdevil Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 @RotoDan as @MAXsenna stated try to manually adjust your resolution. i believe you have a typo in your post above 6 hours ago, RotoDan said: 1980X1080 it should be 1920x1080. i edited you options with the correct value. replace yours with the one i have attached. options.lua 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

RotoDan Posted September 15, 2024 Author Posted September 15, 2024 It is already defaulting to 1920X1080. No issues now with full screen. TNX

Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk The screen is squashed running the UH-60L. With the OH_4 it is fine. The AH-4 little bird, I installed but DCS does not recognize it. the only mods that show are the UH-60L and the OH-4 with Vietnam pack. Trying to get screenshots, I have that enabled but don't know the key command.

RotoDan Posted September 16, 2024 Author Posted September 16, 2024 The native windows print screen does nothing so looking at UI layer. I'll be a while before flying, Looks like a failure with the hall sensor in my X-52 stick. center to aft is OK but get a snap to full forward going from center. Got parts on the way, so more hoping.
RotoDan Posted September 23, 2024 Author Posted September 23, 2024 Final update: My full screen and aspect problem has been fixed and my 4 added mods are working as they come. I installed the training mission plus the hover tutorial. That was a bit of work combining them to one. They do run fine so now I am down to fine tuning my controls. I am about to toss a wrench in the works going to VR so I will be on other threads. Thanks everyone for your support.
