idenwen Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Is there anywhere a documentation about whats possible with autoexec.cfg? I know the textfile in DCS/Config but that explains only the basics like options.graphics.maxfps = 60; Can other things also done in this file? Lets say camera parameters, MFD_render_params, etc... Would be nice to preserve settings without having to use a mod manager and to see after each update if there is something new in the unmodded files.

Blaze Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I guess I'll add my +1 to this.

Paganus Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This question should not be left to drown in the forum... Please... What can we use it for now? What uses are being worked on for the future?

SkateZilla Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) seems my FPS Limit setting isnt working no more since the last update (which I finally let install last night in my non beta install). I knew the update nixed my indicator LUA changes for Helios, but for some reason It's not Limiting FPS to 30, autoexec.lua was in the savedgames/dcs/ folder. As I was getting 50-65 FPS, even though I set the limit to 30. I also set DCS.exe to Disable XFire in CCC Settings, but Whenever I boot DCS my 2nd GPU is taken out of ZeroCore Mode and put into 3d Clocks. (It spikes to 80% or so but I dont think it's DCS Using it). Pretty sure it's not being used, as last time I forced it on I had issues. Also submitted another group of Bugs to AMD for Cat 14.2. + DCSW Combo. I'll have to double check to make sure that the autoexec is still clean. I might have moved it to my beta install saved games folder since that's what I was using.

Hansolo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 +1 on documentation. Skatezilla, if you get you autoexec up and running do you mind sharing it. I am trying to use if for skins but mine doesn't seem to be working. Thanks in advance.

Paganus Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 This is from the graphis_readme.txt that gave us the autoexec.cfg to begin with. --------------------------------------------------------- Hi! Old graphics.cfg is gone and replaced with graphics.lua. However, please, do not edit this file directly. Otherwise you'll lose your changes after each update. New method for overriding options is to create (or edit) a file C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg or C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg (for model viewer) and place your changes there. Note: - autoexec.cfg settings will override the options set via GUI. - Graphic options in autoexec.cfg should be prefixed with options.graphics. - file encoding should be UTF-8 without BOM Example autoexec.cfg: options.graphics.maxfps = 30 options.graphics.render3D = false options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 75 -- add custom texture path -- note the slashes! table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, "c:/Users/<LOGIN>/Saved Games/DCS/MyTextures") Happy gaming! dsb at eagle dot ru ------------------------------------------------------ So does anyone out there know of other uses for the file right now?
