Gamma settings 2.5.1. Not a huge fan of deferred shading. I'm not sure of the intended effects, however the lighting effects do appear quite unrealistic. The dilemma I run into, A-10C for example, when I reduce gamma to make the terrain not look bright neon green and yellow but more of a realistic look, the instrument panel is black. There is no comfortable balance between the two. What is the preferred gamma setting?

You may need to adjust the gamma setting. The default setting is way to bright and wipes out most of the color.

2.5.1 w/ built in deferred shading is costing me 10-15 FPS using a 5.3ghx 8700K, 32GB ddr4, and a 1080Ti SC. Not to mention, the shadows look absolutely horrid. Although, the scenery looks quite good.

Oh ok thanks you.

I see there is an update including a new Caucasus map, however when I click on the DCS shortcut it indicates the sim is up to date, and when I click 'Update DCS' it indicates sim is up to date as well.

How does one install this mod?

Any way to adjust the cockpit shadow quality in the graphics configuration files? The highest in game options setting look so horrible they are quite a destraction. Not sure why the ultra shadow option went away.

Fresh reinstall, logged onto my DCS account and noticed my purchase information for NTTR and Normandy are not there, so I can't activate the serial # in game.

Thanks! Looks like officially SLI is not supported.

I swore by SLI for years, however I just rocked a solid 60FPS all over Las Vegas in NTTR with high settings using a single 1080Ti. SLI has been causing texture flickering and other oddities like unusual stutters, etc. Going back to single card.

Thanks! My testing has just confirmed this. Rocked a solid 60 FPS with just 1 card (1080Ti)

With the newest updates, does DCS utilize sli? I noticed most games do no utilize sli, and in fact, sli can create many problems like texture flickering, etc. Am I better off sporting just one of my 1080Ti's, or both in SLI? Not trying to create a huge debate thread, just a simple answer from someone who knows. It either works, or it doesn't...

Nothing worked. I uninstalled DCSA 2.5 and am currently downloading it fresh. Current bandwidth has it downloading at 1kb per second, I calculated it to be finished next Thursday at about 1000 pacific time, I'll give you guys a heads up them. Oh wait I need to download the aircraft and scenery, that may take another 4 days.

Just spent 3 days downloading the 2.5 update. Everything was fine, then trackir5 just stopped working. In fact, I have many other issues with the update version 2.5. Lets start with insanely long wait times for literally everything. I'm having so many issues with every category of bugs/issues I'm just reporting the big issues.

Same problem here...

DCS was working fine. When I opened it up today, the main program screen is stuck loading at 57%. I let it load for 15 minutes, no result. Restarted windows, same issue. Ran DCS repair utility, same issue.

Shadows are jagged and blocked. Do not appear natural by any means, both internal and external. I’ve previously had amazing shadow quality, is this something I could fix in Nvidia Control Panel? I haven’t seen anyone from ED comment on the shadow issue posts so I’m assuming it’s an issue outside of the program, I.e. card settings, CP settings, etc.

Exactly. Less than a year ago, I had sharp smooth, amazing looking shadows. Now they are absolutely horrible looking.

Not sure what us wrong, shadows, specifically in-cockpit shadows, are not being antialiased along with other textures. Very jaggie, worse than 8-bit Nintendo graphics. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue with a fix or no fix yet? This goes for 2.2 as well.....

Sounds good. Thanks for your work!

Used to work great about 8 updates ago.

Sounds great! Not sure if its how it works in real life but that tell tale Rolls Royce Pegasus pitch noise...is it fixed or variable? In game sounds fixed no matter the rpm setting

I’m sure you’ve seen this video. We need a good representation of the cockpit/engine sound FX when coming in for a vertical landing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BZBfRxnyoH8

Does this new file apply to all aircraft including the A-10C?

Same issue, however I’m using gsync not vsync
