Belphe Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, What is the closest to reality gamma setting in 2.5 according to you? Thanks! Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaXha Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Doesn't that depend entirely on the display you are using? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Doesn't that depend entirely on the display you are using? :-) It does. So far I've seen people using gamma values between 1.4 and 1.8 mostly.

Valinor Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The new promotional DCS video was taken with gamma at 1.6. Personally i enjoy 1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongHarm Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The new promotional DCS video was taken with gamma at 1.6. Personally i enjoy 1.8. Do you have a link for the settings that were used for the video? I've been trying to find out what settings Wags uses for his instructional vids.. it looks so good. Anyone know if he's published them? It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Wags' setting: You bet: - Gamma 1.8 - Global Illum On - Deferred Shading On - AA to 2 - AF to 16 - Res 2560x1440 No mods, ever. A big part is also time of day. I never use noon, but rather mid-morning or late afternoon. - Gamma 1.5 - Global Illum On - Deferred Shading On - AA to 0 - AF to 16 - IPD 50 - Pixel Density 1.5 No mods, ever. Glowing Amraam's (the maker of the videos) personal gamma setting: For me, my gamma is set to 1.6. Remember that time-of-day will also affect the "look" of the game, so try flying at dawn or dusk and you will see what you have seen in many of the videos. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Belphe Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 I got more than I hoped for. Thank you! Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLX Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Outside looks beautiful with these settings. But in-cockpit looks too dark and high contrast. Any plans to tweak this further?

D.Va Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I wrote this in another thread: If anyone here has an iPhone, you can adjust your monitor brightness with it, like this: Turn down your iPhone volume to zero. Click the volume up button four times, which puts volume at 25%. Open the control panel or whatever it's called and increase brightness to 25% so it matches the volume bar. Hold your iPhone in front of your monitor and adjust the brightness on your monitor until the brightness matches. You may be surprised at how dim this is, but this is in fact the recommended brightness for office environments all over the world (300 candela, if I remember correctly) and it greatly decreases the amount of headaches you get after prolonged use. You can also adjust colour this way, but iPhone whites are possibly slightly blue. With this brightness, I find Gamma 2.0 looks the most natural.

monkie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I adjust the Gamma depending on the aircraft I'm using and also the cloud cover and time of day. I find it really just depends on what looks good to you. I'm a bit frustrated when using Deferred Shading especially with a low sun that the shaded side of the aircraft is completely black and the sunward side has a white sheen to it. I'm hoping this is a work in progress and the only thing I can do is adjust the Gamma till it looks good to my eyes.

In DCS pre-2.5 everything looked bad with DS ON and in 2.5 everything looks bad with DS OFF, but in 2.5 with DS ON and Gamma 2.0, I don't have any issues with colour or contrast. You should probably troubleshoot? Read my DCS 2.5 Optimisation Guide (version 2.5.4): https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3828073 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone71 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If you're having gamma issues and you've upgraded instead of fresh install, try deleting the contents of the fxo and metashaders folders in your Saved Games /DCS folder. I upgraded and was experiencing weird contrast and lighting that didn't look right and had to set gamma to 1.7; after deleting those folders the game is beautiful and I've had to raise gamma to 2.2.

nessuno0505 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have settled on 1.4 for my Rift, with both deferred shading and cockpit global illumination on. Thanks I'll try. How much global illumination impact on frame rate? Since you have 1080TI and I have 1070. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
