Settings advice

[Dustbag]

Could anyone advise what is the correct/best way to configure DCS settings as there are so many options that could possibly conflict with each other I dont know if I am doing it correctly.

I have a Pimax Crystal Light and a RTX4080 and as far as I can see the options I have are

DCS Launcher settings
DCS In-game settings
Pimax Play settings
Nvidia App settings

1. Should I launch DCS from the Pimax Play software or the Nvidia App or the DCS Shortcut (Does it make any difference)?

2. If I have configured options in the Nvidia App and I then change settings in the DCS Launcher screen which options does it use?

Thanks for any suggestions

DCS launcher settings and in-game settings should be the same thing, the launcher just allows you to configure stuff before starting the game. This is especially helpful as some settings require a restart of DCS.

Don't know Nvidia App settings you're referring to. Don't know what overlap there is with the ingame ones, you'd need to post a screenshot of Nvidia App settings you're referring to.

You should always launch DCS using the DCS shortcut (and not the MT shortcut either).

I have been using the DCS MT shortcut so could you tell me why I shouldn't use this one?

Thanks

I believe this is running the DCS.exe in the bin-mt folder and you should instead be using the one in the bin folder instead. They're both multithreaded now and bin-mt will be removed in the future.
