Native HDR support (+poll: do you have an HDR monitor?)

[Surfingnet]

Please.

I can't stand having a random point in the darkness of the night be as backlit on my monitor as somebody's afterburner.

If changing the hud's luminosity setting in a plane could actually change the luminosity of it, instead of just the color and the strength of the hue, it would be so much more immersive.

Using third party HDR conversion tools on top of the game gives inaccurate luminance data & tanks the framerate for most of them.

I hope native HDR support will come with the Vulkan update.

Native HDR support would be great but I don’t think it addresses the problem above. That seems like the monitor settings are just wrong.

What the hell are you talking about?

An SDR image displayed on an HDR monitor has no luminance data, therefor each and every pixel has the same backlight intensity wether it's supposed to represent something luminous or something dark. DCS World outputs an SDR image whether you use an HDR monitor or not.

Unless you use Windows' auto-HDR which is total garbage, or RTX-HDR which is closer to a good result but eats up fps, then you can't have DCS output an HDR image.

What do you mean my monitor settings are wrong bro? Every other HDR title, or SDR title with RTX HDR on top (including DCS) works perfectly. You're just trying to be edgy?

Oh I reread your post, you’re talking about data. Sure I think actual HDR in this game would be fantastic. When you say “backlight” do you mean on an LCD? Aside from local dimming I didn’t think HDR could control that. Indeed afaik local dimming or an OLED is the only way to actually get the HDR spec displayed correctly. Beyond contrast the increased color gamut is very nice.

bump for visibility, ED please HDR is great
