How can i get the game to save bitmap screenshots

[jawzzy]

Hello.

I had DCS/LOMAC for like 15 years and i forgot how i can get the game to save the screenshots in bitmap format.

I may have changed some settings along the way and now it saves them in JPG and they suck. All the cool beauty is gone.

Anyone knows how i can get my bitmaps back?:)

 

Thank you for your help.

Create an autoexec.cfg (just a text file with that extension) in x:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\DCS\Config

Add the lines below and you should be good.

 

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 100

ScreenshotExt = "bmp"

Thank you for your help.

I tried that but it doesn't work. I still get JPG screens for some reason.

Try this

 

options.graphics.ScreenshotExt = "bmp"

Sorry for the late replay.

Will try that when i get home next week.

 

Thank you very much!

If all else fails you can always use the brute force approach, edit the line directly in your graphics.lua and it's guaranteed to work.
