LAlt+Enter works for me in 2.8, in the game options untick the Full Screen setting. When selected I had black screen too.

It happened to me also. I have another few entries in my autoexec.cfg, and as it turned out I've accidentally added an extra space in the command line above when I've added the new code. After the deletion of the unnecessary space everything is working fine now. I can confirm my FPS is good again with the newly added code. And the in-game stutters I've got with the 2.7.18.30348 update are gone too. Thanks.

Probably the new terrain texture in 2.7.2 causes the TGP issue. Made a test in 2.7.1 and 2.7.2. with the default textures. Same mission (A-10CII, Instant action, Hard - Russian Lakes - Spring) WHOT, with default gain and level settings.

There must be something with the direct sunlight. It is quite noticable on the screenshots I took. One is below the cloud layer - the cockpit is bright, and it should be darker (since there is less light, or it should be). The other is above the clouds, and the cockpit is very dark, almost dark like it is night time. The cockpit lighting is exactly the same on both pics. Even the orientation of the plane is same (210 deg). And this issue has nothing to do with the gamma settings you are using. It's more like you are constantly blinded with the sun.

Update to the Open Beta version, and then take a look at the trees. Probably the trees in 2.5.5 haven't been updated from the previous (odd looking) version of trees. We've got back our trees with this patch in January 2020:https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.5.5.41962/ "DCS Caucasus by ED Trees restored to original visualization. Trees removed from roads in some locations. Mozdok 08 runway broken lights fixed. Improved a scene on the Gudauta airfield. Larger aircraft can not use the taxiway. Fixed Some minor visual improvements."

The last version of 2.5.5 was pretty good. ED could update the Stable version to 2.5.5.41962.

Finally I can lower the engine sound to minimum, and still be able to hear the switches. Been waiting for this so long. Thank you very much, Sir!

Finally, we got the beautiful trees back! A MASSIVE thanks to ED!!

I'd really appreciate if ED would add an audio slider for the cockpit sounds (sounds for the switches, push buttons, gear down, fuel probe, weapon launches etc.) regardless of the other sounds. Personally I would increase it to a level to be able to hear the switches even with the Hear like in Helmet option on. In our virtual cockpit we can't "feel" the switches under our fingers, but with these sounds we would have some feedback at least.

Exactly.

I'm using a 27 inch monitor, and the depth perception of the trees was much better in 2.5.4.

After the 2.5.5 update the trees has changed. The branches look much worse than in 2.5.4. I liked the trees very, very much in 2.5.4.

They weren't there previously. The position marked on the F10 map.
