Do I have to run desktop at in game resolution?

[rss0900]

So I'm running custom ingam resolution of 2304x1024, in order to get this to work I have to first change my primary desktop resolution to 1280x1024. I don't like this because outside fo DCS it's too small for my eyes. Any way to set DCS using multimonitors to switch to custom resolutions in game, or it it required to run in that resolution first? Thanks

I'm not sure i understand what you are asking or why you need to change your resolution outside the game..DCS will run at whatever resolution you want.

 

I suggest you describe your issue with a bit for detail.

Also your setup, what is the native resolution of both, assuming there are two, monitors and how are you trying to arrange them (side by side, etc.)?

if you are running the game in windowed mode yes make your desktop resolution the same as what is in game.

 

if you are running full screen then run the desktop and game in different resolutions all you like.

 

PS. you can change the size of your fonts (text) in any version of windows DCS will run on.

Yes running in windows mode due to the use of dual monitors. Native resolutions are both 1024x768, but in game resolution set to 1280x1024 and 1024x768. Only works if my native resolution is 1280x1024, not a big deal but just an annoyance to switch resolution when I want to play the game.

 

Thanks all
