CrackerJack Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I don't have multiplayer experience but want to get started. I just watched a video saying that monitor size and resolution play a big role in online play ie spotting distance. I have an ultrawide monitor at 3440 x 1440 which is nice but might be a disadvantage online. So my question is if you play online do you lower your resolution to make spotting easier?

Ultrawide monitor could be an advantage, since It's a 1440p of vertical resolution, and it's not yet a common setup. Take in mind that most of the people are running DCS in lower resolution than yours, maybe a standard 16:9 FullHD resolution. Make sure you have a good and calibrated tracking software/hardware to move your views ( TrackIR/trackHat) and you're ready to go! Don't worry about your screen, it's more then enough! :thumbup: Edited January 2, 2019 by Maverick87Shaka typo error FlighRIG => CPU: RyZen 5900x | RAM: 64GB Corsair 3000Mhz | GPU: nVIDIA RTX 4090 FE | OS Storage: SSD NVMe Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, DCS Storage: SSD NVMe Sabrent 1TB | Device: Multipurpose-UFC, VirPil T-50, TM WARTHOG Throttle, TrackHat, MFD Cougar with screen.

Coxy_99 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 4K @ 27" You barely see targets at 10 miles, I have had to tweak Nvidia settings and turn in game gamma up to 2.0 or 2.2
Trubshaw Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Hey Coxy, Any chance you could share your NVidia tweaks? Cheers [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] TrubshawRN -=SHREK 94=-
CrackerJack Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 I'd be interested in the Gamma tweak also. I was thinking of bumping my resolution down to 2580 x 1080 and run a test to see if I can spot at farther range than at 3440 x 1440.
