Sascha, you'll need a free utility called "AutoHotKey". There is info about this already here at Avsim, just search for it.

 

When you have it installed you can use this little script, it uses Control+F to activate borderless mode.

 

(Right click the AutoHotKey icon in the notification area of the taskbar, choose "Edit this script", replace with the following and save.)

 

oh, and replace the 1920, 1200 values with what matches your monitors resolution.

I was just coming back here to say how good clouds and atmospherics look with FS9/DSR.  My cockpit is the same size as always...only the menus and fonts are smaller. Do you have it running right?  Your plane, your view, should all be as you would see it at normal res.  The difference, is in the depth and beauty/clarity of the rendered scene. If you have a diminished size to everything, then you might have dropped your Desktop to the new res...and that is not correct. Again, I have absolutely no FPS change, the cockpit and fuselage is the same size as depicted native (it should be...if correctly displayed with DSR) and the only difference, is when I access menus, as well as the two top red info lines are also a tad smaller at 2.0 over the native res. 

 

If you have it all as native view, but your click spots are less sensitive, I have not had that issue to date.  All is norm, as it would be in native.  Interesting.

I'm getting a very nice quality with nvidia inspector settings, nice and balanced visual quality and performance, it's very smooth. Using DSR visuals are a little bit improved, but there is a performance hit also, in heavy clouds / bad weather. About knobs, they all works, but i found that clickspots are not quite the same, for some reason. I;m pretty sure i'm running it in correct way, i have choosed new resolution from fs9 / fsx menu, not for the desktop. But there is a performance hit. Do you use fullscreen mode? 

 

 

 

And for comparison, here are a few screenshots using NO DSR, instead this is windowed borderless mode with 16xS AA and 2xSupersampling Transparency AA.

 

These are directly from FS9, no resizing or editing. Click them for full size (1920x1200).

 

This is what i'm talking about, i have similar, great visuals, and very nice and smooth performance, in both sims, without DSR. I'll try your settings for fs9 when i have time, just to compare.

 

My settings in nvidia inspector:

I use this with FPS locked internally to 30, and fs9 looks beautifull and it's realy smooth

Great, thank you! I'll give this a go!

 

 

Do you use fullscreen mode? 

 

----------------------------

 

Yes I do, all the time, in every sim I fly.

I got the window no-borders mode going but lost some fps. Guess my set-up is too old to handle that well even though it has many advantages.

 

Thanks for your help, though!

Hi all! Got the driver set the nvidia to speck,changed the res to 2715 x 1527 in the sim`s settings and ''walla'', FS9 not responding,

i checked the cfg and changed it back to 1900 x 1080 and it works again.

What am i missing here?

You simply install the new driver and that's it. You will get a DSR option in the nVidia Control Panel (RIGHT CLICK ON DESKTOP) 3D setting. Enable it by choosing a setting (like 1.2x or 2.0x) and then you will also see a smoothness setting appear (which defaults to 33%). This setting is about IMAGE smoothening (blurring...) and NOT performance smoothing. Start FS9, go to your settings and select the new higher resolution you will see there (it's your highest res multiplied by your DSR setting) and that's it. I personally had to alt-enter to windowed mode and back again to actually get DSR to work. You will know when it works when the menu bar has shrinked in size. If it is the same size as before, DSR it not working. 

You can btw change settings on the fly, like smoothness: alt+enter to windowed mode, open the nVidia CP, change the settings, go back to FS9, alt-enter to FS9's full screen mode and you will see the effect immediately. So no need for a restart of FS9 every time.  Unquote.  With apologies to J van E.

Al, you stated that you saw that res, in your res line-up for FS9?   What DSR setting did you use?   1.5?  2.0? etc?   

 

What should happen, is that you have your Desktop as normal native res.  You then fire up FS9, and as soon as you are stable at your F.B.O.,  you go to HARDWARE and change your res to whatever was generated by setting DSR in GLOBAL to whatever.  Pick that res, in FS9, and then press APPLY/SAVE, whatever, and as soon as you do that, FS9 should attain that res.  You should see the entire surface area (as normal) of your monitor being used...and if you go for a menu, you will see that it is much reduced.  Also, at 2.x DSR will drop your two top left red lines of text to about a 33 percent reduction in the font's height. That is another indicator that your new custom res has kicked in.  You need to be in Full Screen.  This will not work on any sim, other than when you are in the Full Screen mode.  If everything is running as it should, you should also be able to use ALT-ENTER, and drop out of DSR, to let's say, come to AVSIM, post, blah, blah...and then get back to your DSR-enhanced sim, by once more using ALT-Enter to get back to Full Screen.   It's pretty simple, really.   The above are the things to look out for, that will get you blasting away....

 

Oh heck, I wasted time typing, as Appliance did a bang-up job of describing the tap dance....
