FlightFX settings

[-MG-Cacti4-6]

OK so I re-worked my flightfx settings for those that requested it last build, here are the changes.

 

grey sheen removed

not nearly as dark (as compared to previous settings)

contrast kicked way up, much easier to make out trees and read gauges easily.

 

here are the photos:

 

 

settings can be found here:

Hmm, SMAA seems to have the same effect as FXAA anti-aliasing. It helps with contact spotting? Kind of cheating Could you somehow take two pictures for comparison with distant contacts on the screen? With FlightFX on and off?

sure

 

 

during the replay i took this from you could see the dot with fx both on and off.

heres a couple more

That Lumasharpen...

That Lumasharpen...

you not like it? by all means provide feedback, i dont claim to be an expert with this stuff

[Picchio]

Uhm, I think it's a bit excessively unrealistic but I guess it can have a different appearance based on the resolution you run the game at.

With the rendering resolution set at 1920x1200, I usually like these values:

 

#define sharp_strength 0.63

sharp_clamp    0.041
 

They give a more subtle effect while still offering an overall sharper picture.

well i run 1920x1080, i cut sharpen strength down to 1.27 and clamp down to .4

seems to be much more subtle

[SKG51_Joker]

please advice:

I don´t get it running.

Where is SweetFX it to be installed?

1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game

or

1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\SweetFX

 

or is flightFX completely diffently installed?

If so, where can I download it?

I tried FlightFX with Jason's settings, but it did wierd things, possibly to the shading or shadows. You can see it in your cockpit pic with FX turned on.  Strangely I only really noticed it in external view, if I remember correctly, but it was annoying enough that I've disabled FlightFX for the time being.

I toned mine down significantly and it appears to have gotten rid of the obnoxious amount of white out on the horizon. if anybody wants to take a look at it, you can find it on my video, under "my first go at this kinda vid" thread. if you like what you see, reply here and i will upload it to my dropbox

[Bassly]

For some reason when I enable FlightFX the game tries to start, but instantly closes. Am I doing something wrong here?

Would be appreciate if you would upload it, your vid looked good.

the flightfx may be corrupted, try uninstalling the flight fx program and reinstallling. that fixed the issue for me

That did the trick, thanks.

ah sorry, i uploaded the wrong settings. this should be much mo betters

Hi Cacti.

I tried your settings and they work great for me, thanks for that.

At first I just copied and pasted the text you provided to the text file I renamed "SweetFX_Settings_Cacti.txt".

After that I booted the game,, but it did not start. So I deleted the file (well replaced it with one that did work this morning) and the game booted up allright.

I went ahead and edited the file to make sure it had the right format.

After this, I let Sweet FX load your text and it worked.

Here's the formatted text (I hope it works) in a spoiler:

Thanks again Cacti.

dont mind at all. much like my warthog profile thread, i started this one up so everyone could brainstorm over various settings!

please advice:

I don´t get it running.

Where is SweetFX it to be installed?

1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game

or

1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\SweetFX

 

or is flightFX completely diffently installed?

If so, where can I download it

flightfx is a completly different install. you can do a google on flightfx download. you can also find info on it in the RoF forums 

[312_Ofce]

FlightFX seems to refuse working in recent version of Il-2. Any clue why?

[Static]

^ Same problem even with AA disabled.

[Rivet]

For some reason when I enable FlightFX the game tries to start, but instantly closes. Am I doing something wrong here?

Same here and uninstalling/re-installing didn't work for me. Incidentally it works fine in ROF so I'm guessing my FlightFX install is not corrupted.

[Rivet]

Well I found my Flight FX problem. A simple oversight on my part. I had assumed wrongly that as ROF had identified the data location correctly in the Flight FX "data folder" field, that BOS would do the same.

 

It didn't. As soon as I hit the "override" button and navigated to the BOS data folder location and selected that folder everything worked great.

[Bando]

[LIE_27]

Dear Rivet!!!
Can I do poprosite,give more details,as You did,it is not clear....

P.S. I also do something that is wrong....
With respect!!!

[LIE_27]

Thank you!!!
but it did not help......what to do?! :help:

[LIE_27]

Thank you guys!!!
everything turned out,it was necessary to carefully read and work with his hands..... :biggrin:

[Rivet]

Sorry MeXican. I only just saw your request. Do you have it sorted now? If not I will try to help.

[LIE_27]

not anything to worry,the game began to run,but how to see changes? press Scroll(default)nothing happens....

[snowsnipersnow_sniper]

use sweetfx 1.5 in attached file.

do the right repartition in data and bin. ( ever done in the rar attached )

 

be sure to have antialiasing off in BOS  to have sweetfx  enable  you can swing between with sweetfx or with no sweetfx with the "arretdefil" key

 

the sweetfxsetting.txt in data folder is one of mine with grey shame  theme for sreenshoot. you 'll have to learn to play with parameters to adjust contrast / colours / etc ...

 

 

hope it will helps.

press PrtScr and Pause a visible effect,and when you press ScrollLock no change......

If you mean how to see difference between default and sweet fx settings you can set sweet fx to split screen. That way you'll see the difference side by side.

 

 

Just enable the split screen option and select the mode you prefer 1 - 5 and tweak the other settings to your liking. You will see the difference between your settings and the default game settings as you play.

 

Hope that helps.

Yes,asked what would understand how it works?

posmode detailed explanation?! With respect to You!!!

Just try that one.

perfect for me. More blue make it more cold freezing.

with it own  AA & FSXAA ( in order to make it work you must first check ingame AA to 0 )

 

my ingame preset graphic settings are set to "HIGH"

with 0.8 gamma correction ingames settings

 

 

The zip files have everything you need 2 folders to paste into your game. ( in bin\game\ and in \data )

( it is sweetfx 1.5 from guru 3d.)

all needed in the package with my personnal settings you can tweak

 

If you want to tweak yours, use in "data" sweetfxsetting.txt with notepad. 

 

cheers

Thank you,i will try.....  at startup (IL2CLOD)black picture,press ScrollLock, an image of the game...in other games, the effect is not noticeable!!!

For clod

You must copy all files from the two folders in bin where laucher.exe is

But this sweetfxsettings file is not tweaked for clod anyway it would works. Can send you one if needed.

Not using the SweetFX but wow, just the gamma helped alot. The game is way too bright at 1.
