DCS World 2.9 Breathtaking Graphics & Settings Tutorial!

Hey Guys! today we are going to take a look at a topic that has been heavily requested by my viewers, patrons and fans at large Since the release of DCS World 2.9.

And that is, how do I make my personal copy of DCS Look so beautiful?
Or some variation of that basic question.

And while it’s taken me awhile to really fine tune my Graphical Settings in DCS World 2.9, it is my belief that DCS 2.9 with its DLAA, DLSS, FXR and Multithreading will democratize the DCS World experience and allow DCS to not just run, but thrive on more hardware than ever before.

A lot of viewers out there tend to think that I must do some sort of post processing… or have some filtering program such as reshade on my PC that adds color and depth to my recordings of DCS.

This really couldn’t be further from the truth, all of the footage on my channel is 100% stock, non-modified DCS: World footage.

Everyone rightly thinks that all of the trailers and promotional footage put out by Eagle Dynamics are absolutely gorgeous, and understandably some people get a bit disappointed by the graphics of DCS when they get it onto their own PC’s and hop into their first training mission in the Free to Play TF-51D Mustang.

At this point however, I believe all gamers know this is not an issue that is not limited to DCS but is true of the entire gaming industry, who employ teams of professionals to create the most stunningly beautiful trailers possible.

But we are all very lucky because Eagle Dynamic’s Trailers are made up of footage that comes straight from the game itself thanks to the vast amount of cinematic tools built into DCS World itself and thus… all of the tools to make DCS World look absolutely breathtaking are all built right into DCS and our PC’s.

And yes I know I have a rather Cutting edge PC, but many of these tips and settings will work on any PC or any hardware combination whether you’re on the Red team or the green team, your PC is brand new or 10 years old.

First thing we will do is take a look at the settings within your copy of DCS: World that will heavily influence your Graphics and Performance, then the Nvidia control panel, and finish up in the mission editor.

I still firmly believe that 90% of improving your Graphical experience in DCS is a function of the mission editor and is something any DCS Pilot can influence regardless of your PC Specs.

Of course these settings will not be a one size fits all and you will want to adjust all these settings to suit your own PC and your own needs and this is a real game of trial and error to find the sweet spot for your machine.
