3440x1440 display sometimes loads, but not always
-
when launching Falcon into the 3D world, the display shifts down and to the right lower quadrant of the display, and can not be repositioned to center.
Can you confirm that you have your options set like this? (you don’t need the -ef, that’s for EyeFly)
Shortcut:
Cockpit Display Extraction:
Falcon BMS.cfg:
set g_bUseExternalWindows 1 (not sure if this one is actually needed, but I have it like this)
set g_bCenterUI 0 // If set, the 2D UI in window mode will be centered horizontally and vertically on the desktop (e.g. for triple screen users)Like this, it should load the 2D UI in the top left corner, then load the 3D in full screen.

Use the “display extractor” accessible from the launcher. Remove borders and set window position to (0, 0) origin.

I also have a 3440x1440 display from samsung with a GeForce MSI 1070 and had no problems.
I use the RTTClient/RTTServer as display extraction and I think with fullscreen (not windowed).

Eagle-Eye and sthalik - YES, a positive result. Making your suggested setting changes for the Falcon BMS shortcut, display extractor, and config file solved the problem. Additionally, I had to change Window 10 display "scale and layout from 125% to 100%. For regular use, the display scale of %125 is preferable. QUESTION: Is there a way to set the display scale to %100 just for Falcon BMS in the Nvidea Control Panel or something?
Thanks! -
Nope , it is windows thing, but, you can try right-click bms exe or shortcut , click properties , then under compatibility tab down near the bottom is “Change High DPI settings” , there, again at the bottom, select by “Override by Application” !not ‘system/enhanced’.
That should put BMS in control of DPI , which is responsible for display scaling…
I use it that way… because my monitor is UHD(4k) and using 125% scaling which is adequate.
Does this work ?? … I honestly don’t know , I think NOT … eh, win10, what can you do … but you can try and see.

Thanks white_fang - actually, the changes you suggest I try out did a treat. I’m all set - thank you all for helping me solve this issue.

WEll then … glad it did it for 'ya. … The reason why I was suspicious in the first place is when I activate that setting , it changes my radio and menu fonts … so it is noticeable , but does it work as advertised… I can’t tell.
I also use gpu-scaling on all my monitors via driver/amd-settings, to a ‘full-panel’ or ‘preserve-aspect’ , but that is pure hardware (gpu) … so that also influences picture stretching (enlarging) or enforces default resolution in preserve-aspect mode. Anyways.
Great! . Cheers

Thanks!Double-click the “Falcon BMS.exe” executable, set compatibility options, select DPI status managed by application (not system nor system enhanced).
edit: white_fang got the correct answer. Just remember to do it on “Falcon BMS.exe”.

Thanks for the clarification - I did make the DPI scaling change to the “Falcon BMS.exe” executable.

As it turns out, windows mode was not necessary. I also turned off windows for the instruments display in “cockpit display extraction”, because each individual window, for a given cockpit instrument, was appearing I could see before entering into the main 3D world. What solved the original issue was setting the “Falcon BMS.exe” compatibility for DPI status management. I think the issue is that I have the windows scaling set to %125 for other than Falcon BMS. So the compatibility for managing the DPI scaling to “application” for the executable is the solution.
