I have been having problems using the CDE within 4.33 and also the MFDE with my two monitors. My primary monitor is 2560x1440 and my secondary monitor is 1440x900 (I have tried other displays on this monitor including forcing it to 2560x1440 with the same results). I just can’t seem to get either of the MFDs to show properly. I can get the external MFDE utility to fit inside on TM MFDs on my secondary monitor but when I start 4.33 the 2nd monitor’s display changes and the MFD displays change position. I then ALT TAB out of 4.33 and they are fine then back to the game and they are wrong again. I am using 2 GTX770s in SLI mode. 4.33 sees both cards and I try to choose the resolution on each card but it doesn’t save them. I have tried the internal display of 4.33 using the CDE but that just spans my 3d display across both monitors rendering the game unusable. I heard there is a display bug in 4.33 but I don’t know for sure. Is anybody having any problems like this?

Doesnt save resolution

RE: Resolution problem
Sound like you failed to get into your falcon BMS.cfg file and change the set g_bExportRTTTextures from 0 to a 1.
That file was changed to a 1.

What is the problem with mfde? I too have an issue that I’ve learned to live with - the 5min to respond problem [emoji12]
But at least it works.I did try it. You say it has a 5 minute response? (I assume you are being facetious) I did notice it took some time for the screens to pop up. I did try that and after they popped up and I resized them to fit my TM MFDs, I ran the game and they stayed blank. Well, not totally. They did display the word “blank” and some other things on the bottom but they never worked. Should I wait longer after the game starts for them to work?

RE: Resolution problem
Sorry, but I’m unable to reproduce this. My only suggestion would be to try Lightening’s MFDE as an alternative for MFD extraction:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23359That was my first problem. Lol. I couldn’t get MFDE to work properly. I would rather use it and HELIOS. If you can help me with MFDE, that would be outstanding!

RE: Resolution problem
Seems to me that the main monitor native resolution is less than 2560x1400. What is the size our your main monitor?
Try a lower in-game res for the main monitor (1080p) and see if that helps.
I have been playing with the resolutions and can’t get the screen filled. It shows a window. Mu main monitor is an ASUS PB278Q with 2560x1440 and it is beautiful when the game works without the CDE but I want the displays on my secondary monitor. Is there any way to force a full screen on my primary monitor?

RE: Resolution problem
Under the cockpit display extractor settings for the main screen, you will find positioning settings listed as top and left. Make sure both are set to 0 (refer to user manual pg 4-51).
I did that. Here are screen shots.

Resolution problem
I have 2 monitors. My main is 2560x1440 and my secondary (below main) is 1440x900. I have used the cockpit display extractor to setup the MFDs on my lower monitor to use my TM MFDs. They work great. However, when I run the game using the 2560x1440 graphics selected, the display is also on the secondary monitor. How can I get the game to stay full screen on my primary monitor and the MFDs to stay on the secondary monitor?
