Need Idiots guide to DLSS4 implementation into DCS

Thanks. It's fantastic compared to the plain vanilla DLSS in DCS (is it DLSS 2?)

Is there anything we can do to activate Frame Generation as well or RTX4090 is not compatible? I don't find any cue in NVidia Profile Inspector that I set like this:

 

Frame Generation in unsupported games, and pratically with any GPU, can be achieved with 3rd party apps like Loseless Scalling.
Notice that this isn't for VR, only for 2D (monitor, TV, etc).
It's not a free app - it's sold on Steam - but, if you're into this, it's so cheap that (IMHO) is worth the purchase: https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/

A couple of tutorials:

Also, with Loseless Scalling you can now set Frame Generation as "Adaptive" instead of "Fixed" if you prefer (and another tutorial for this setting):

Frame generation in VR is already implemented at HMD software level, it is called "space warp" or "reprojection" or "smart smoothing" depending on your HMD's make.

I'm having an issue displaying the DLSS Overlay on the bottom left of the window. This is true in both 2D and in VR. This used to show up, but has since disappeared since 1 or 2 Nvidia Driver updates the past 2 weeks or so. I have attempted to change the registry file (as stated in multiple forums). I have tried to use DLSS Swapper to display information, in the game, and this hasn't worked either. I manually added my "BIN" and "bin-mt" to DLSS Swapper Game list and changed them in DLSS swapper to the newest DLSS. DLSS Swapper is showing I have the most recent DLSS on the simulator.  I have ran DDU and reinstalled nvidia drivers with NVCleanstall, and even selected the "Show overlay" or whatever it's call on that installation menu. I have used Nvidia Inspector to set "Preset K" to the Global Driver settings, as well as "Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark" dropdown in Nvidia Inspector. 

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the overlay isn't working. I need this overlay to confirm what Preset I am using. Unless there is another way to display, like a log file, to show what DLSS version and Preset I am using. 

 

Sorry for the long winded comment, this has been my entire weekend, and I'm about to pull my hair out

Use DLSSTweaks to enable the hud overlay. https://github.com/emoose/DLSSTweaks

You don't need to copy any files into DCS, just run the DLSSTweaksConfig.exe file for configuration and set GlobalHudOverride to Enabled (all DLLs)

Thanks for the reply!

But, turns out, I'm an idiot. I was under the impression you could see the overlay in the main menu. Pro tip, you can't. When I was debugging, I was only going to the main menu. Once I actually loaded into a plane, it showed up. lol

Has something changed recently either with DCS or Nvidia, I had DLSS working on preset J previously but now it seems to be stuck on C, anyone else having issues?

Edit: Scratch that, I got it working again - I think you need to double check all is working OK after a Nvidia driver update

Quick question please, are people generally using the preset K (0x0000000B) over J?

K has the edge for me but mainly subjective. 

I did a test in VR and there is a slightly better performance for K over J but I really need to check this more thoroughly to see if it is significant.

Out of interest, why isn't this natively supported in DCS so we can do away with these workarounds?
