DCS Changes My Resolution Setting

[Boshar67]

My system settings in DCS are single screen and a resolution of 3840 x 2160.  When bring up DCS it changes the resolution setting to 3840 x 3184.  My display setting for my monitor is 3840 x 2160.  Why is DCS automatically switching to the 3840 x 3184?  At this setting, while in game, I randomly get a horizontal split screen on my monitor.  I am using trackir, not VR.  Why won't resolution settings stay at the 3840 x 2160?  This just started happening.

Wow, how can it be happened?!

Where was the change discovered?  Launcher or DCS setting?

I have the 4K 3840x2160 monitor, and the resolution/refresh rate got changed from my Windows 11 because my Nvidia driver was corrupted.  After the driver reinstalled, everything was okay.

Thanks, I will give it a try.  I think it has something to do with winwing.

If you’re using multi-monitors, like Winwing Mfd’s along side your main screen, then the resolution in DSC needs to be the total combine width and height of the overall screenspace. I have a 3840x2160 main screen and 1920x1080 touchscreen to run Helios on, below it. So my DCS resolution is 3840x3240. Even though there is blank space around them, DCS sees it all as one large screen, not individual monitors.
