Hiding in the bushes
I recently went back to Falcon BMS 4.33.u3 and noticed that the in game resolution (3d world) will remain at menu default of 1024x768 regardless of my settings in options, every time after one session in 3d world.

So to recap - when I enter 3d world for the first time the res will be fine @ 1920x1080 but every time after that it will be 1024x768 even if I restart the game. The only way to fix it is to restart my PC. But then the res will be fine only for the first time I enter the sim.

I also noticed that the first time the mission will load, it will take a lot longer but this was the case before IIRC.

Maybe latest Win 10 update broke the game? I'm not sure what else changed since I last run the sim. I did changed my HOTAS but it's unlikely that it would messed up the game resolution?

Any ideas?

Nevermind - found the solution here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?33518-Bms-launches-in-low-resolution-(not-menu)&p=468395&viewfull=1#post468395

It appears that the Windows 10 Update indeed broke something, fortunately there is a simple fix.

Right click Falcon BMS shortcut, select properties, then compatibility tab and then check Disable full screen optimizations. Then click OK and run Falcon BMS

And that's why you should't be getting the latest version of Windows. A couple of instances before, my touchscreens wouldn't work and it was all due to a Windows 10 update. frown
