SrSosio Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Hello ED Team. I have a monitor setup that looks like this: Screen 1 is a 4k TV I use as my main game monitor. Screens 2 and 3 are small LCDs I use to export MFDs and monitor 4 is a side 1920 monitor I use outside of the game (for OBS, spotify, ...). For this reason I would like to limit my game resolution to screens 1, 2 and 3. However, it is not possible to select such resolution in the dropdown list. I can select a variety of combinations, which include all 4 monitors (6016 x 3120), or monitors 1 and 4 (6016 x 2160), but I can't select the vertical combination that I would require, 4096 x 3120: Of course I could rearrange the monitors, but I have them arranged similarly to how they are physically mounted in my desk. Otherwise, moving the mouse around between monitors can get very confusing. As a workaround, I can set such resolution by manually modifying the options.lua file, but I don't always play with that resolution (i.e. if I'm playing CA I usually only play with the small 1920 monitor), so when I want to go back to using the 4K and mfds, I have to modify the file once again. Is this something that could be considered as a useful request?

Another neat little trick is to use Helios to write you the monitor file, even if you're not going to export any instruments. (MFDs≠instruments).Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
SrSosio Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Didn't know you could actually manually type in the resolution while in game. That's another good workaround, very similar to modifying the config.lua file. However, it does have the drawback of having to restart the game when you change it, so I think my request is still valid, or at least it would be acceptable to do that same thing of editing the resolution, but in the launcher, so you wouldn't need to restart the game. Thank you anyway 1

Thank you anywayValid or not valid. I disagree to some extent, because there already is a valid solution. Either you save the two different resolutions as two of the different presets that are already available. While what you really want are two different monitor files which you can switch between, and can be chosen in the Launcher.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1
