JazonXD Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi everyone, I just wanted to know how to get the camera to be free moving and allow me choose an angle that I would like (For example, the beautiful pictures and angles shown in the many screenshot contestants) And also, is there a way I can improve the quality of the screenshots in DCS? Whenever I hit screenshot, the image looks all jagged and lower bitrate; doesn't look as good as in game. How can I change that? Thanks and sorry for noob questions.

Blooze Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Possibly, using notepad ++ you will see on line 354 of the graphics lua file, screenshot quality 90 You may want to experiment with that number to see what happens. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Hmm interesting. Thanks for the info. Did anyone actually do this to get those amazing shots for the screenshot contest? :D AMD 5600X -- Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision -- 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 -- HP Reverb G2 -- Logitech 3D Extreme Pro -- Thrustmaster TWCS BRRRT!

txmtb Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Believe you can still change it in x:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg. Then it won't get changed back after an update/repair. You have to create the autoexec.cfg file in that directory. Mine is set to: options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 100 Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip

Did anyone actually do this to get those amazing shots for the screenshot contest? :DFor me and I think most others the screenshots have the same quality as what I see on my monitor. I have never tried to tweak the lua file but have always been curious about what would happen if someone did. Let us know if there is a difference when you change the number. I always enhance any PC image with Photoshop if needed and I expect others do also. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I'll try to see if tweaking the value changes anything, but i'm so busy for this week :P exams are a bitch AMD 5600X -- Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision -- 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 -- HP Reverb G2 -- Logitech 3D Extreme Pro -- Thrustmaster TWCS BRRRT!
