That's a good pic there Mustang. I really like that one. :)

That's a great shot of the F-15c!! It would be nice to see more natural looking afterburners at some point, otherwise you have to look twice to see if it is real or not..

You have claims to quality of the skin (I don't quite understand your question)?

 

Nonono! Not at all - I love the skin. The bort number is 01 on the photos I have of the "Cobra" Su-27. Yours had 80 on the screenshot. :)

That may of course have changed during the years, as my images show the "Cobra" 01 from 2002.

Can I know how u captured those screenshots? They are very sharp and clear

 

However, I used printscreen to get mine but in windows photo viewer, what I can see is obvious pixels.

While I did not take the screenshots you are referring to, I can explain to you what is wrong.

 

When you take a screenshot with Windows, by default it captures a .jpg image. JPG images are low quality by default, that's why their filesize is very low. That creates small artifacts around edges of objects and unclearly defined details.

 

For high quality screenshots, I recommend you use something like FRAPS set to capture png images.

 

Notice the difference here (though the difference is less than a real case since the JPG is simply a converted PNG):

 

PNG (via FRAPS)

 

JPG (via the screenshot function in DCS)

The game does look pretty good even while it's DX9

Are you referring to the screenshots I posted? The above advice about using FRAPS is good, but my screenshots actually were taken with the in-game printscreen functionality.

 

I don't know if this makes a difference anymore, but you can go into your :\EagleDynamics\DCS World\config\graphics.lua and change line 186 to 100.

 

Also, I take them in replay mode. That way I can max out the graphics settings, and then pause the replay at the point I want to take the shot, line it up perfect, and then printscreen.

 

And finally, you can edit those shots in a 3rd party picture editing program. I recommend not going overboard on the editing though because you'll lose the "feel" of the original.

thank you ill try it

[Plagi_Arism]

There is a line ScreenshotQuality = 90; (makes smaller file size)

In DCSW/Config/graphics.lua

Change it to ScreenshotQuality = 100; (makes sharper and detailed screenshot)

[GeorgeLKMT]

And for even more quality, you can change jpg to bmp or png if you wish. ;)

[Plagi_Arism]

Yes, but disadvantage of that extension will result in huge file sizes, which the uploading, and downloading will takes up too much time and more spaces on HDDs, SSDs, and on forum or image storage servers.
