markturner1960 Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 (edited) I mostly in VR but do use the displays sometimes to look at. Recently, not sure exactly, I noticed that the displays were not showing the MFD's of the jet I was in as usual. They are all working in that I see my desktop on all 3. However in windows display settings, only one shows, instead of the 3. I have re installed the winwing display link driver, restarted etc, but still the same. They are all plugged into the same USB outlets they were. I have tried unplugging each in turn. If I unplug one of them, then windows detects the two additional screens and numbers them 3 & 2. If I plug the third back in, windows changes to only showing one screen plus my main monitor and numbers it 314. It does not appear to matter which combination of screens is plugged in for this behaviour to occur...... Can anyone explain whats happening and why and how to remedy it? Edit, in SimAppPro, in the set scaling and layout section, the screens are numbered incorrectly ( 6 for main monitor instead of 1 and 4 & 6 for the 2 MIP screens, instead of 2 & 3 which they are in windows. I dont seem to be able to change these anywhere......

Wostg Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 Quick guess - in windows display settings, is the one that shows set to "duplicate" when it should be set to "extend"? 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
markturner1960 Posted November 11, 2024 Author Posted November 11, 2024 (edited) Thx, that sorted it I think, I now have all 3 showing up. But SimAppPro is still not showing the correct numbers and although it shows the correct layout of screens, the apply button is greyed out and its asking in red to go to windows display settings and confirm / apply there.....which I have done, but it still wont let me move to the next step....

Wostg Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 (edited) glad the first part was simple...thats weird though. i know in mine the numbers sap shows are totally different to windows but makes no difference in the layout. try making sure theyre all set to extend, (inc main didplay) un / reinstalling sap, rebooting and working through the config steps again?

rob10 Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 Also worth trying the GREEN SCREEN option in SimAppPro to see exactly where it is exporting your MFD windows to. It should give you clues if the green shading shows up on a different screen or partly off the screen you've turned it on with.
markturner1960 Posted November 13, 2024 Author Posted November 13, 2024 Could not see the green screen option? Can you help? So I guess my initial post is half answered now, I move on to using the MIP when in VR and if this is possible and if so how. Currently it would appear to be almost working, with the only issue I can see being that the lower corner of any screen in DCS is unaccessable by mouse, which means I cant press "OK" and "Exit" when using the options screen etc or join servers. Anyone else noticed this and got any fixes? System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.

Sorry, forgot to get back to respond when I was actually at my gaming computer. The GREEN SCREEN thing is in the Game Peripheral Display tab, when you are in SET MFD DISPLAY option. Typically for that screen issue the fix is in DCS itself. Under the SYSTEM options menu set your RESOLUTION option to WINWING (it will likely be the bottom of the list) rather than any of the other options.
