Resolution problem
-
switching to full screen (by alt enter) set the output on 1024x768 automatically.
Oh wait … maybe I misunderstood. Are you talking about the 2D menu screen? Yes, that is a hardcoded 1024x768 user interface.
Once you click ‘take-off’ and are in the cockpit (3D) …after the various interstitial loading screens etc … it should revert back to 4k (3840x2160)… no?
If you want to prevent your monitor from flickering back and forth to different modes… I recommend changing the default NVidia settings for how to deal with fullscreen apps that try to change resolution.
The 2D menu UI is still a crappy low-rez experience from 20 years ago, but it will be up-scaled to 4k by your GPU and so your monitor will only ever receive a 4k signal
See my screenshot…

Perform scaling on => GPU
Override scaling mode set by games => ON -
For the avoidance of doubt, here is a screenshot of my Falcon BMS graphics-setup screen. (Yellow highlights to call out the misleading entries that say “1024x768” but also somehow “3440x1440” … which I fear may be causing confusion.)
But I configured my nvidia settings as above, to “do the scaling on the gpu” so my monitor never leaves 3440x1440 mode. My graphics card takes the 20-year-old 2D menu screen and upscales it.
The actual 3D in-plane experience is rendered in full 3440x1440 glory. Ok not as glorious as your 4k but only because my wife won’t let me hook the PC up to the tv.

I already have changed it according your previous suggestions so if I understand you correctly, I can use (alt enter) to fullscreen and what is mentioned in the output is not interesting to watch at.
the monitor will show the right resolution.
Rest me to thank you a lot for supporting me.
see you hopefully in the next roundb.t.w do you use nvidia inspector or nvidia controller.

i want to send you a screenshot made it in jpeg and png but during upload got the message upload or file failed. do you have an idea what it could be?
-
Is BMS using your iGPU? And I would turn scaling for the 2D off until you get the correct resolution.
-
it uses my 1080TI where do I have to put off scaling? and how do i get the right resolution if fullscreen brings the resolution down as you could read in previous remaks

I think this forum/webserver has difficulty with attachments / images. Not sure… So I’ve just been using imgur.com which is free and fairly painless.

Currently I run MSI Afterburner to keep track of things like CPU/GPU temperatures and usage%. (Works great, even if your card is not MSI brand.)
I’ve played with NVidia Profile Inspector a bit … mostly when I was trying to understand some of the confusing settings in NVidia Control Panel. (Like the difference between Low Latency Mode “on” and “Ultra”. Not sure I ever found a great answer on that.)

looks this image bright and normal according what you have seen sofar with you friends

Scaling can be adjusted by going to Nvidia CP then go to adjust desktop size and position.
The right resolution for most people is the native resolution of their monitor. Do you want the right resolution to be the native resolution of your monitor or something else?

I am having that same issue with 4.35 U1. When selecting Fullscreen from the graphics menu, the Output line says (sometimes says) 1024x768 but the Resolution line says 11520x2160. The Output jumps between the 1024x768 and 5760x1080 after hitting Apply. In the game, the resolution doesn’t quite look like what I typically see in 4.34 U1 in terms of 4k type graphics(everything is larger). The left shoulder of the pilot also blocks ability to see the exterior lighting panel switches.
However, if I select Borderless, the Output jumps to the 11520x2160 and matches the correct Resolution. However, that causes the menus to shrink down very small and off to the leftmost side of my three monitors. In 4.34 U1, this does not happen(but of course, it doesn’t have that Output line in the UI). The menus are full screen and on the center monitor, no obstruction of the lighting panel, world appears 4k. In game 3d world looks ok. When switching from Borderless back to Fullscreen, the Output con tinues to match the 11520x2160 Resolution until going into 3d and returning to UI graphics screen.
Also, I noticed that I can no longer set quality levels in the graphics UI. They are stuck at 0. I used to be able to go up to 3 in 4.34 U1.
I am running MSI RTX3070 with NVIDIA driver version 461.81 at 11520x2160 resolution.

If you mean, it looks dim, I think your sun-visor is down. Hit [alt+V] (or is it [shift+V] ?) to toggle the visor.

@TheSilkMan – I can’t get your attachment to open. There is some secret to embedding images in posts on this forum… I see some are able to do it… but I don’t know it.

From the “advanced” edit view, I was able to click “insert image” (below the ‘attachment’ menu button) and get it to upload a png from my computer.
Not sure what formats it supports, or if there are size limitations … in your case if you’re screenshotting 3x 4k that might be a consideration!

Ok, just imagine your UI screen reduced to about 1/4th the size & pushed to the upper left corner of your leftmost monitor(which is at 4k resolution). That along with the other detail in my prior comments should help.

I understand. I briefly toyed with running at quad-scale resolution (6880x2880) instead of antialiasing … looked really great except, yeah, the subtitles, overlays and menus were unreadable.
For triple-monitor / 4k, you say the layouts and font-sizing were better in 4.34? That would be the valuable screenshot to see, to compare side by side to 4.35.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between 4.34 and 4.35? They install and coexist side by side… but I think there may be some registry keys or temp files that have to be manually flipped? not sure.
If you manage to get before/after screenshots, open a bug at https://bmsbugs.blu3wolf.com/ and upload them there!

Yes I have 4.33, 4.34 and 4.35 U1 all installed. I couldn’t figure out the safest way to Uninstaller them, but it turns out that it quite helpful when tracking down bugs. In terms of the 4.34, I doubt if I can get a screen shot of the full 4k display because the UI loads to the center most monitor and the left/right monitors default to blank and eventually no signal. I can take a photo and send that. Once you launch, the loader screen then turns the left/right monitors back active. This does not happen with 4.35 U1. I will send the screenings of the “mini-me” UI in 4.35 U1.

I submitted the report. Attached below are the 4.34 photos:
