Airsim: Setting AirSim resolution in Windows

Created on 5 Apr 2018 · 7Comments · Source: microsoft/AirSim

When I launch AirSim, it starts in full screen mode and it is set to max resolution of my monitor (1080p). How do I change the resolution to say 800*600 or less?

P.S. I am changing the rendering resolution because my GTX970 is unable to render at solid 30 fps in dense trees area in Neighbor Hood

Try to start Airsim as follows :
open the command prompt, go to the folder with airsim and execute in this way :
for example : Airsim.exe -WINDOWED -ResX=640 -ResY=480
This should work.

In the game folder you will find Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini. Try changing this to the following:

[/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings]
 bUseVSync=False
 ResolutionSizeX=800
 ResolutionSizeY=600
 bUseDesktopResolutionForFullscreen=False
 FullscreenMode=2
 LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=2
 Version=5

@lovettchris There is no file named GameUserSettings.ini at the path provided. I made the file at the same path but AirSim still runs on full screen at 1080p

The INI file, GameUserSettings.ini is located under environmental name for example, if you have Building_99 environment and then the INI would be at Building_99\Building_99\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor folder.
