Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I want to create a custom setting for A10C under the Nvidia Control Panel-->Manage 3D Settings-->Program Settings but for some reason, I cannot add DCS.exe there to do this. Anyone know of a workaround? I am using Win7 64 and I've tried adding dcs.exe from both bin directory and bin/x86 with no avail. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by cannot add dcs.exe, does it display an error?

Slammin Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think it's because you have Black Shark installed but not sure. The changes I make to the Black Shark profile affect A-10 though.

Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I was able to add dcs.exe on my system, same OS. What do you mean by cannot add dcs.exe, does it display an error? It allows me to navigate to the folder and select dcs.exe and I click "open" but it doesn't end up appearing in the program list for me to make custom settings. No error message at all. I add it, and dcs.exe is just not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think it's because you have Black Shark installed but not sure. The changes I make to the Black Shark profile affect A-10 though. blackshark has a completely different executable "simulator.exe". FC2 also has "simulator.exe" so blackshark and fc2 affect each other. However, A10C is dcs.exe so it shouldn't be affected by either blackshark or fc2.

Legolasindar Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) blackshark has a completely different executable "simulator.exe".

However' date=' A10C is dcs.exe so it shouldn't be affected by either blackshark or fc2.[/quote'] BS without patchs uses DCS.exe, not simulator.exe, for this reason, nvidia profile considers that DCS.exe is BS, and when install WH, in the control panel DCS.exe remain exe of BS. For this reason, when select the exe in the control panel, automatically profiles jump to BS, and not create new for WH. If you look, after this, BS profile have icon of WH. Solution: I think is uninstall BS, uninstall profile drivers (uninstall drivers), install drivers and BS, and only launch BS after applied all patchs.

Distiler Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 No need of uninstalling blackshark. It's just that nvidia DCS:BS default profile doesen't affect blackshark anymore (1.0.2) but it affects DCS:A-10. For blackshark you need to manually create a profile for simulator.exe. If I were ED I would rename each module exe to something like dcska50.exe, dcsa10.exe, etc. AMD Ryzen 1400 // 16 GB DDR4 2933Mhz // Nvidia 1060 6GB // W10 64bit // Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. it's just that the nvidia profiles are not up to date and detects dcs.exe, and that is a-10 executable.

Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Confusing but I think I get it. Use the built in Blackshark in Nvidia control panel---->affects A10C Manually add simulator.exe--->affects blackshark and FC2 Correct? Regards.

Ghanja Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was just wondering - do you set your AA ingame or do you use the nVidia Control panel? I am still trying to figure out good settings.

galagamo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) I use 8xSQ, it looks pretty good. I just checked, and apparently you need to use "Nvidia inspector" to set AA to 8XSQ.

Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 I set aa in game as it gives me more fps. The only significant setting in Nvidia panel I set is anisotropic filtering as its not offered in DCS A10 gui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongHarm Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Creating your own DCS profile in nVidia doesn't work in my experience, as the existing profile overrides it. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtfisgoingon Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 AF is set automatically to 16x by default in the sim although there is no indication of it in the GUI, its been confirmed a couple of times in various posts.

Always set AA in the GUI. That's interesting. I know it definately makes a diff in BS as I've compared screenies side by side. I guess I never bothered to check this for A10C.
