Screen resolution
-
I can’t get my screen resolution right… The resolution says 1920x1080, that is o.k. but the ‘output’ says \.\DISPLAY1 1024x768
So things are not smooth and a circle is an oval.
I cant find anything in the config file about it, neither on the forum, probably because it’s too abvious…
I have a ‘Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 super’.thanks so much,
Stern

Right click on the desktop shortcut, choose properties, then compatibility tab, then select “disable fullscreen optimization”. See if that helps.

Try adding to falcon bms.cfg the following line:
set g_bAllowAllRefreshRates 1 // Display all available resolutions and refresh rates

Unfortunately both options don’t work on my NVIDIA system with BMS in Fullscreen mode. But I have found a work-around:
Right click on the desktop shortcut, choose properties, then compatibility tab, then select below “Edit high DPI settings” (sorry, translated from my German Windows). In the new dialog box activate the option below “Overwrite High DPI” and select “application”.
Now Falcon ignore the text size settings from the display (100%, 125%, 150% and other). Bad is here that Falcon starts now with a very tiny view on my large screen (3840x1600). That’s horrible to make here settings when you sit in an cockpit with 1,5m distance to the screen. I think the problem is that Falcon ignore on the flying screen the real resolution. The program see 3840x1600, but the text size for applications is 200%. Unfortunately reduce so Falcon the real resolution and view only the output display size “\.\DISPLAY1 1920x800”. And this is wrong.
I would like here a solution that only in flying Falcon change the DPI. It’s my Christmas wish ;-))

i have same issue

I kind of fixed that issue setting the Window to borderless. 2d is in 1024 but 3d runs at 1920; better than nothing

i have been flying falcon since the beginning , original falcon disk a microprose patch disk and instruction book in original box i have had every version of BMS . my point is every version has had bugs to work out * that’s why they are called UPDATES - SO DONT START BASHING THIS SIM or the creators, this is freeware that they spend a lot of their valuable time making this sim possible

why on hell would you even say that? i am having problems, i am not computer savvy, bms 4.34 took me a while to get to my liking, options and settings ect, i am also having trouble with things in 4.35 but jeez a free sim that is by far the best in my opinion for attention to detail FOR FREE, i purchased a game for my son on ps4 the punk 2077 thing, he couldn’t even play it it was that bad bugs extra they even offered him a refund! millions of dollars in the making and 100’s of paid devs,
If there is one thing that i know to be true, is that BMS community is there for help, questions and updates fixes mostly always come.
Thanks BMS -
To bring this thread back to it’s topic:
Thank you Ghastly, Raptor, Pegasus and Cabraasesina for your input. I will try the last option with borderless. The other solutions unfortunately did not change anything for me.(I have also flown all the versions from the original till now and I am nothing but grateful for the vast improvements we have witnessed and for how much this adventure is taken further. A big thank you to this community for working together to a common goal and for the enormous amount of work that is put into it! )
