DCS: A-10C help

magicstix · 09-09-11, 08:45 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew how to swap the default monitor A-10C runs on?

I have 2 monitors and it always wants to load on the left. I didn't see anything in the options panel of the game to let me switch monitors, and since I got the game through Steam, it seems conspicuously lacking in a manual.

You do that under your windows options. Which version are you running?

Windows 7. I know I can switch the primary/secondary monitor, but that'd be a giant pain to switch then switch back each time I run A-10. It just seems utterly silly that I can't tell A-10: "Start on the right monitor instead of the left."

It starts on whichever monitor you have set as your primary. Pretty much every game out there does the same thing. It's not really that bad to switch back and forth. Especially if you plan to spend quite a bit of time on it.
