You can set the game to windowed and still set the res so that it'll fill all of your screen - or at least Il-2 could do so.

Sometimes you're playing CoD but waiting for someone to show up on your IM, not everyone has CoD as their number one worry in life, sometimes you just have to be accessible whenever you can, period.

I understand that, I just didn't understand why, if Erkki doesn't want them popping up and interrupting him, he doesn't just shut them down.

If he wants to leave them on of course he can Alt+Tab around from time to time, but I don't know how he'll set IM etc to stay quiet in between.

The guys I fly with are full-switch, the last thing we want is an interruption

100% full switch here as well, last 8 years.


No luck so far with the conf... Guess its windowed mode then.

I assume you used the conf.ini in your /User/ CoD folder?

[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=0
SaveAspect=0
Render=D3D10_0
width=1680
height=1050
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=1
Frequency=60
posLeft=0
posTop=0

Well then I'm sorry I tried to answer your question.

btw in your first post you posed the problem and asked "Can this be edited in the conf, or is there another fix?"

I suggested turning off the things that annoy you

In your second post you said you didn't want to, you wanted them to be available (which kind of conflicts with what you are trying to achieve).

I suggested some alternatives

In your third post you said "No luck so far with the conf..." but didn't even say what you had tried (I still don't know).

I asked, knowing that some people hadn't realised there was a conf.ini in two places,
had you tried the (effective) one in your User folder and posted my details as a prompt.

So which post didn't I read?

It doesn't really matter to me either way but when you ask a question and someone tries to help but doesn't give you the answer you want to hear it doesn't do any good getting upset about it. If some posts don't help just let them go by.

You apparently didnt even understand the issue.

I'm not here to be insulted or flamed. I asked a question, how to make il2:clod run in a true full screen mode instead of pseudo-window that is seemingly behind everything else whenever theres activity in those windows.

You adviced me to shut down those programs, as because you flew full switch you'd only have the game and voice comms to concentrate on. Real constructive!

Tweaking conf didnt work, so now its true windowed screen forced to 1680 x 1050. Hate the frames, but what can I do?
