A Simple Way To Adjust Mirror Resolution.

[truebrit]

A slider or drop down box for cockpit mirror resolution would be amazing.

Thanks.

P.S. Is there anyway to do it now?

In the settings. MFD resolution. 256, 512, 512 every frame, 1024, 1024 every frame I believe. So 1024 is max. That's why it sometimes looks like that brick game.

I don't think it affects the mirrors though. A similar setting for the mirrors would be good.

Well, what can I say? It does, whether you believe me or not.
Cheers!

MAXsenna is correct, the cockpit resolution affects the mirrors. The reason it probably looks bad is you normally don't zoom in so far that the mirror takes up most of the screen.

This is a comparision I have just done in the F/A-18C sat on the carrier, one is 256 resolution and the other is 1024 resolution, nothing other than that setting was touched.

This is the 256 Resolution:

This is the 1024 Resolution:

Yep, a higher option wouldn't hurt for high performance PCs.

btw: the option change might need DCS restart!

Just be aware, that mirrors in there current state already hit FPS with a ~10% penalty. Upgrading to 2048 e.g. (which I wouldn't mind as an option) would probably hit even harder.

I have always used 1024 res. I can always notice the low res. We're coming up to 2025, I think we should at least have the option.

My screenshot in the op is in 1024, I think it would be nice at least to have the option for a modern res. Must be easy to implement?

Adding my support for this idea. Mirrors hit my FPS drastically. I'd like to keep my MFDs at the highest quality (1024) for readability, but keep mirrors on Low (256) for performance reasons, rather than just disabling mirrors entirely.

I'd vote for that too. Option to specify different resolutions for different areas such as mirrors vs MFD's would be great. Even if it was just a setting in the autoexec.cfg
