DayGlow Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It would be nice to be able to run DCS World in a different resolution and windowed than the modules. This way it would be easier to load custom profiles to controls and use other 3rd party programs (teamspeak, etc) "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why can't you. Uncheck the fullscreen box and set the resolution to what you want.

PeterP Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Why can't you. Uncheck the fullscreen box and set the resolution to what you want. He wants to be able to run the Options in windowed mode but the Sim in full-screen - without changing the options each time. This is how it's done: Navigate to ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\MissionEditor and open the MissionEditor.lua with a proper editor (Notepad++) Make a backup of this file before you change it!!!!!! 1. Than go to line #258 and change it from this: fullscreen = trueto this: fullscreen = false 2. Now go to line #311 and change it from this: Gui.CreateWindow(width, height, fullscreen)to this: Gui.CreateWindow(1024, 768, fullscreen) 1024x768 is an example - You can put in your wished resolution for the windowed GUI. Now every-time you start DCS-World the GUI will be windowed in the resolution you have set. But the Simulation will start as set in the options-menu .

funkyb Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Fantastic mod. Thanks. Is there a way to do this with the multiplayer launcher as well? that would improve my experience quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) No - you can't get the MP-GUI Windowed while running the Sim Full-screen - the MP-GUI is already part of the Running Simulation. But you can resize it and set a new position by using this edit in your "monitorsetup".lua: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84270 don't set it smaller than 1024x768 in DCS 1.2. ! but be aware that it can go completely fubar under certain circumstances: >>DCS World GUI bugs Edited November 20, 2012 by PeterP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny002 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Hi, guys! When I try to save the mission editor.lua so I can run the DCS world in windowed mode, I got this error message, now what?? Please see attached. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Edited January 22, 2015 by Vinny002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoNOOB Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is DCS running? Maybe try as admin? I often have problems like this in the user folder, when that happens I copy the file into another folder, modify what I want & copy it back. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgeode Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, guys! When I try to save the mission editor.lua so I can run the DCS world in windowed mode, I got this error message, now what?? Please see attached. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Vinny, are you using Notepad++ to edit that? I would not try to edit it with anything else but that. But also make sure the game is not running before you mess with it. Not sure what else could be causing that error.

ChrisIhao Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It would also be nice to be able to run in windowed mode with SLi working, like in fullscreen.

SkateZilla Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It would also be nice to be able to run in windowed mode with SLi working, like in fullscreen. Isnt that a issue to take up with nVidia?

ChrisIhao Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Isnt that a issue to take up with nVidia? Nope. "As always, we’ve worked closely with a number of developers to enable SLI in their games and game engines, and we continue to work with Monolith on Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor." Link here. In other words, both Nvidia and ED need to work on this to get it working as it should. I can bet my life that Nvidia wont come chasing ED to get SLi working in windowed though. There are some conflicting opinions on if SLi can work in windowed modes in the first place (considering other games as well), but it seems like the general consensus is that it DOES work. Crossfire doesnt. What needs to be done for this to function properly I dont know at all (I'm not a developer), although I hope that DCS 2.0 will enable mfd's to be exported without using the "put them on another screen and grab" method, in case you use an ipad or somthing like that. I guess it wont. Oh, and another thing. If the heat blurs or "every frame" options are enabled, the SLi also seems to become inefficient. This also goes for fullscreen mode.
