DCS GUI Wallpaper too dark

[Rudel_chw]

Hello,

 

 

For some reason, the photos that I try to use as DCS wallpaper came up way too dark .. does any one know how to adjust the Gamma of DCS' GUI ? .. The Gamma on Options -> System only affects the in-game graphics, not the GUI.

 

 

This is how the photo looks on Windows desktop:

 

 

 

 

 

 

and this is how it looks within DCS:

 

 

 

 

Something similar happens with the kneeboard .. photos that look fine on Windows, look too dark in-game.

 

 

Does anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Thanks,

Are you using any reshade or sweet fx filters?

No, not at all .. just the nVidia and Oculus drivers :(

Strange then.

 

That filters changes the images but without that im clueless. Sorry.

Tomorrow I will uninstall the Oculus drivers and try again to start discarding probable causes. If that doesnt work, will try reinstalling the nVidia drivers. There has to be some cause :)

Hello,

 

 

Just wanted to say that today's update fixed this issue for me :)

Thats an amazing wallpaper for sure.

Have to check the kneeboards tonight, because this dark images where also on the kneeboard, tough there I compensated by brightening the illustrations in ms word before converting into pdf. I hope that step will not be necessary anymore :)

YESS ... the kneeboards images are not dark anymore, they look just like on Windows preview .. like this:

 

 

Love when there are this kind of fixes, that are not mentioned on the changelogs, but are there for one to discover :)

 

Cheers.
