Hey guys,

So I recently got another 2K monitor and I already have one 2K monitor. When I go full screen in p3d on my new one my old one doesn’t stay native 1440p and drops in resolution, any ideas how to fix this?

Both are 1440p same resolution monitors.

Yes, both are set at 1440p

Have a look in Prepar3D.cfg and search for displays. See if anything different is set there. What resolution does the second one drop to?

Hi Ray, second monitor drops it 1080p

Probably because that’s the resolution in Prepar3D.cfg. Check and report back.

Ray,

That was it, the other one was set to 1080.

Also, any idea why I would have two Prepar3d.CFG files in that same folder?

One is named Prepard3d and Prepard3d.cfg

 

Thanks!!

@Danthepilot77, it’s unusual for a file not to have an extension. If it’s just named Prepard3d just rename it and if there no repercussions after a couple of days just delete it.

Glad it’s a simple solution. 👍

I have 2 files. The One is a txt file, the other is a cfg which is a text document. They both have the same information but in different formats. I would leave them alone, doesn't seem to do any harm.

Yes, now that I think about it one is named Prepar3D.cfg.txt. Probably just a copy of the original.
