Screenshot format change?

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

Seemingly out of the blue, DCS saves all my screenshots as PNGs instead of JPG as before. This gives some headache in sharing screens etc. Is this a global setting somewhere?

Don't even need the autoexec file to fix it. Just go to DCS World/Config and find the graphics.lua file, and change the extension in this line:

 

ScreenshotExt = "jpg";

I think it is already fixed in 1.5

Thanks!

In case of the autoexec.cfg, it's a simple change.

 

OLD:

ScreenshotExt = "jpg"

 

NEW:

options.graphics.ScreenshotExt = "jpg"

This is reset after every update, so you'll need to keep changing your graphics.lua ad infinitum. Just change it in autoexec.cfg, and you won't have to mess with it again.

I didn't have an autoexec.cfg file any chance someone can post one for others. Thanks

I have to change so many settings (terrain camera restriction, screenshot quality, etc.) after updates I'm just used to it now.

It's pretty straight forward to do, just create a new text file in notepad++ add the line of text and any other commands you require (like maxfps or cpu affinity etc..) and save it as autoexec.cfg in your saved games\dcs folder
