High Res Screenshots?

[Belphe]

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to grab a screenshot larger than the screen resolution... :huh:

 

My monitor goes only up to 1680x1050 but I'd like to acquire an in-game screenshot of say 3200x whatever... I know its a LOOOONG shot but perhaps there is a 3rd party software that could do this...

In order to do that, you would need to get DCS to render at that resolution. 3rd party software won't magically create greater resolution than the game will render at.

I thought so... :/ Thank you.

You could record a track and then render a avi from that and then pick the frames as you please.

 

Rendering time might be long for huge resolutions, though.

Ooooo, that's a brilliant idea! I'll look it up! Thanks!

This is certainly a very good idea!

 

I will try that out. Thanks. :thumbup:

Hmm, I tried using the in-game .AVI renderer but it crashes when I choose a resolution that is larger than my max monitor res (I should have known - it's obvious..). Any ideas on how to do this "outside" the game??? :cry:

It's not obvious to me, i'll try this out when i get the time.

Well, I'm not sure how it worked in LOMAC 2.0 or BS but in Warthog the .trk file is loaded as if you were to watch it and since I want it to be rendered in a res higher than my desktop - it crashes...
