[Problem] Spot contacts 27" - 4K monitor


Rikus

Recommended Posts

2.5 Beta released at the end of january.

 

We are almost in april, and i still can´t spot contacts en mi 27" monitor 4K

 

At this point im getting scared, because i think 2.5 will go live and people who have monitors with high resolution we will not be able to spot contacts.

 

If you can´t spot contacts in a military simulator, one of the most important things....

 

Any news?

Yes, but the question is : is this normal ? You would expect that the apparent size of objects is maintained regardless of the resolution (as it's done on other games : my gun is not twice as small in Arma now that I've got twice the res)

Just set your monitor settings to 4K and DCS to 1440x900. windowed mode and use "alt + enter" to go to fullscreen, that somewhat is a workaround.

 

EDIT: But it is strange because 4K have more pixels to work with so there is something strange going on in this sim.

in OB 2.5.1.x I had absolutely no issues spotting contacts at 15nmi at high and medium altitudes.

 

Running 28" 4K screen at 4K native resolution.

FWIW this issue is a very old issue that ED has yet to address. I have been dealing with it for a couple of years now. ED used to have an "imposters" option that would help with scaling but that was removed with 1.5 IIRC. Now that 4K displays are becoming more common I hope we can get some resolution to the problem. It is a really tough to decide between a beautiful sim and one that you can actually spot targets.
