@WinterH:
OK some progress, and an update incase it helps anyone.
Unfortunately, sim still freeze / crash anytime I click fly when running fullscreen with Nvidia card.
However, if I create a shortcut for game with -window parameter, for forcing it to windowed mode, sim runs fine with Nvidia card. Of course there is the whole window title bar killing the mood… right? Well I have solved this one too thanks to a post on falcon-online.org. From the launcher, choose “Cockpit Display Extraction”, choose “Main” on left side, set all the window rectangle values to 0 (zero) and uncheck “Borders”. Menu (well 2d world too) will appear 2d unfortunately, but once 3d world loads up, it will be exactly same as having the sim full screen! Yay! Well only drawback I can think of is, since this isn’t full screen mode, I think I will not be able to record BMS using Shadowplay. But hey, at least I can still run the sim, and without annoying titlebar too!
Funny thing is, previously I was running BMS on another laptop, it was my work laptop, and company being a game development company, it was a gaming laptop. But things did not work out and I’m not working there anymore, so I got this one. Work laptop was either a Broadwell or Skylake i7, with 960M. This one is a Haswell i5 with 860M. I had windows 10 on both. Never had any issue with running 4.33 on work laptop. My older computer is also a laptop, but I did not install 4.33 on it. It is an Ivy Bridge i7 with AMD 7670M, and never had any issue with 4.32.
I hope this helps others too.
I followed all of your steps but i couldn’t stand playing in a window mode. this is how to get it to work in full screen:
- do all of the steps WinterH said to do.
- set the games resolution for the same resolution you have on your desktop while it is in windowed mode. the small window of falcon bms will take up the full screen once you hit commit (start the game).
WinterH Thank you for this fix.
