reported DCS ST - Lowering brightness when open popup window

[Flappie]

That is an old issue, but I thought it had been fixed at some point. I cannot reproduce this issue anyymore.

Maybe it is triggered by a specific option. Can you please attach your options.lua file? (from Saved Games/DCS.../Config)

I think the old problem was the screen gamma changing when the NS 450 was opened, the new problem which OP (and myself!) are having happens when it is closed.

I've attached my options.lua

options.lua

Thanks. I used your options.lua but still could not reproduce the issue in OB. I used the OP's track.

Are you using Release or Open Beta version?

[Malkevin]

Open Beta

[Flappie]

I've just tested ST and MT. The bug only affects ST.

C'mon, but is still active. Just had it happened in UH-1

[Flappie]

Switch to DCS MT, you won't get this issue.

[zippoa]

I am already on MT version and bug happens there.

I cannot reproduce this issue in MT. I'm pretty sure you are still running ST without knowing it. Please attach your dcs.log (from Saved Games/DCS.../Logs).

Is there any bug in DCS?

I always launch \Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin-mt\DCS.exe

But when I just checked \Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log it logs simple dcs.

In Steam properties I have settings to use OpenBeta and also selected to use MT Preview:

null

I recorded another video. You may see that I deleted logs folder before capture. I use openBeta MT version from Steam.

Attaching logs, track and link to YouTube video.

Thanks. You are indeed running ST:

I found another bug. I have Steam version of DCS.

If I click on Play in Steam client, then it's launched MT version: 2024-05-19 16:42:42.400 INFO    APP (Main): Command line: L:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin-mt\DCS.exe

If I click on "Create shortcut on Desktop in Steam" and then launch using that shortcut, then Single Threaded version is launched: 2024-05-19 16:45:02.424 INFO    APP (Main): Command line: L:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin\DCS.exe

It looks like bug. In Steam properties for DCS it's set to use "MT Preview"

 

Even if I launch MT exe directly: L:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin-mt\DCS.exe , it logs it says that Single Threaded version is launched
