Screen Shots

Can someone tell me how to get screen shots in DCS World? I've tried but to no avail.

Press key "PrntScr" and have a look in ...\Saved Games\DCS\ScreenShots

[marcelbrabson]

I looked all over and there is no such path

There must be. C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\ScreenShots

 

Tip: If you don't want your screenshots to be taken in ugly jpg, go to \DCS World\Config, open graphics.lua and find these two lines:

 

ScreenshotQuality = 90;

ScreenshotExt = "jpg";

 

You can change 90 to 100 and jpg to bmp if you want (png might work as well, haven't tried that). Might wanna change that after each update.

That was it Thanks so much

If you don't feel like editing that file again after each update do the following.

Navigate to ..../savedgames/dcs/config

Open the Network.cfg and resave it as "autoexec.cfg"

Now delete every thing contained in the file and replace it whit the following;

 

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 30

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 100

ScreenshotExt = "bmp"

 

All settings made in this file will not be overridden by updates, which is very handy.

 

The maxfps line dictates the maximum fps the simulator will generate, regardless of available computing power.

 

This is very useful if your fps tends to fluctuate causing stutters.

Limiting the fps in that case will produce an overall more smooth flying experience.

 

If you don't want to limit the fps you can simply disable it by deleting the line, setting the value to 0 or setting the value higher then what your system can produce.

Why not just create a new file and paste in the above lines, instead of all that?

It does :)

It has something to do with the encoding of the file IIRC. I tried that using a new file, and the settings never applied. Using the method he described works.

Correct, for those that are curious. Correct encoding would be;

 

UTF-8 without BOM

 

No idea what that means, but it's what Notepad++ tells me.

its so you cyrillic letters apply and all that jazz, but i cant get it to work, i do what you said to do, but it keeps saving in .jpg, as in nothing changes.

ScreenshotExt = "bmp"

You can use PNG also.
