Is it neccesary to set resolution in graphic.cfg?

[hollywoody]

I have a acer 24 wide screen monitor set at 1920x1080 (native) in my Nvidia panel...do you need to go into the graphics.cfg files of DCS and change the settings to match this or is it automatic? and if so where would I make the changes? thanks!

The Screen res settings in the graphics.cfg files of DCS are obsolete! Instead change your res in the "Options.lua" file located in (my case. yours might be different) "C:\Games\Blackshark\BlackShark\data\scripts".

 

Near the bottom you should see something like this:

 

["height"] = 1024, (Change this to 1080)

["resolution"] = "1280x1024", (this to 1920x1080)

["civTraffic"] = 0,

["width"] = 1280, (and this one to 1920)

Oddly enough I just set the resolution through options in DCS without problems.

That too, only if it shows up in the menu.

If you have Vista, you will need to go under your C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\BlackShark\data\scripts folder to access options.lua

 

I use vista 64 and this is the case for me. I'm not sure if Win 7 is the same.

[AustinN360]

Depends on where you've installed it! I'm using Windows 7 x64.

so if I can see and choose the resolution (1920x1080) within the games options would I still need to make the changes in options.lua?

NO.

 

I have the same setup along with win7 64bit with native resolution of 1920 x 1080p and I only set it in game.

Not correct. Correct only if you have UAC turned on (important!). UAC = user access control, available on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Ah ah! Thanks for clarifying that! I now remember that I have heard that somewhere...
