Hi, I’m new to this forum. I’m not a native English speaker, but I could need some help with my FSX setup on Windows 10

 

I flew FSX for some time on Windows 7 with no problems. Now I moved to new machine with Windows 10, and that’s where the problem starts. In general, I’m using two screens with a native resolution of 1920x1200 and 1280x1024. I would like to start on the larger screen and move some other windows to the smaller one. In FSX I configured the resolution to 1920x1200x32. My fsx.cfg contains the following two lines:

 

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970.0.0]

Mode=1920x1200x32

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970.0.1]

Mode=1280x1024x32

 

But, when I start free flight for example, the main monitor comes up with a much lower resolution. I tried several times, but I can’t get my main screen running at 1920x1200. I have both FSX service packs installed and use Direct X 9.0c.

 

The curious thing is, when I press ALT + Enter to enter windowed modus, the resolution is fine. Graphics looks brilliant. But that’s only a workaround, as I can’t use other windows (outside view for example in parallel).

My machine is an I4790 with Nvidia GTX970. Both screens are connected via DVI.

 

I would really appreciate some help to get this problem fixed.

Make sure the displays are set in Extend mode and not Duplicate mode.

Sure, my displays are in Extend Mode. I need that mode for my office application anyway. :smile:

Hi,

 

Sorry no idea then.

Make sure you set the resolutions in Windows as well as Nvdia Control Panel. Probably best to delete your FSX.cfg and let it rebuild itself after a reboot as well. It could be a connectors problem as well. If you get a chance try a HDMI or display port with the problem monitor.
