      After following the Unleashed Code video on setting up window mode The result is that the game is shrunk to the center of the screen. How do you resize the window?

        IIRC you can’t resize the UI, but you CAN resize the 3D window when you make the transition.

          Thanks but the Window resizes icon in upper right is grayed out and not active if that is what you mean.

            The UI window cannot be resized as it is hard-coded to 1024*768 px resolution. You can move the UI window by adjusting the values in the Cockpit Display Extraction setup. I’m not sure about resizing the 3D window.

              Best work-around solution I could find, so I didn’t have to look at a tiny box on my 2560x1440 monitor…

              https://funk.eu/hrc/

              Use this little program to quickly change screen resolution with a hotkey, making the 2d take up the whole screen. Switch back to normal res before committing to 3d.

                The 3d world is resizable by the resolution seeing in gfx settings in the falcon UI.
                Set it to your monitor native resolution.
                Once u enter the 3d world it will automatically adjust to that resolution.
                Have fun.
                Better ditch the window mode or enable the autocenter option.

                  Ditch windowed mode? No way… Being able to alt-tab without crashes is too valuable.

                    Hi Arty,
                    When looking at my graphics in settings my monitor is set correctly ie 1920 x 1080. If this is what you are referring to then I see nothing to change.

                      Ditch windowed mode? No way… Being able to alt-tab without crashes is too valuable. Exactly why I am doing this at all.

                      does the Hot key program referred to above run along side BMS some how? Thanlks.

                                    Shouldn’t you have VA set up properly PRIOR to flying? WDP I see the point though….

                                      Windows has a magnification tool too. Type zoom in the search window to find it. Windows key and + or - to zoom in and out. It messes up my controllers if left on while flying tho so I have to turn it off before going into 3D.

                                      Being able to Alt tab is very useful for checking team speak or reloading YAME, track IR, etc.

                                        Trackir?
                                        On the fly? Meaning u run trackir while falcon is in 3d and it comes operational?
                                        I don’t recall this works.
