3DVISION helix mod

[C6_lefuneste]

IL2 BoS has some flaws in 3Dvision, unlike RoF.

The lack of fine settings wake things worse, for example this not possible to use high or utlra settings without having heavy ghosting.

So I made an "helix mod" fix, to allow the few of us to play BoS in 3Dvision with lost of its wonderfull graphic features.

 

A lot of things are not as they should, but at least some big flaws have been fixed:
* Labels & icons transformed to 3D. Not at the good depth but at least readable while in 3DVISION.
    Unfortunately, this involve putting all GUI in 3D ! so you will have to choose between label at good depth or text and GUI readable !
* High and Ultra usable without severe ghosting : faulty shader can be deactivated  but this will also disable cockpit light flooding on panel...
* Cloud, smoke, fire and flares are now correctly seen when in 3D vision.
* Sight downscaled to allow them to be used for higher depth/convergence and wide FOV
    Do not use forward point of view for sight (otherwise sight will be too small). Use zoom instead.
* Two cockpit view separation/convergence settings (the first to lower ghosting the second to allow easier use of sight in wide FOV)
* Special settings for external views

Tested with 332.21 nvidia drivers.
May cause crash with steam BoS version.

Key to use:
----------
Y : change the label/icons/GUI depth. Zero depth for reading GUI and high depth to use icons/labels
U : cycle through sight scale : game setting by default, then setting for german sights, then settings for russian sights, then default and sos on
J : toogle off/on faulty ghosting shader but also light flooding on panel
F1 : cycle through separation&convergence settings for cockpit view

Installation/uninstallation :
----------------------------
Use JSGME
 

 

Here is an example of reduced sight for backward POV position:

 

If you want to have a closer view of your sight do not move the POV forward (this will reduce the relative sight size), use instead the zoom.

 

I have no doubt that BoS will have one day the same 3Dvision compatibility level than his old brother RoF, but as we are so few I understand that there are more important things to do/improve. I hope that my fix will allow 3dvision player to have more pleasure with BoS !

I posted a new version for the mod.
