BoS and SweetFX - Works Great.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Hey stuka are you using any gfx card induced AA? I use 2x from nvidia and i find this is a great substitute for the in game AA. ive even started loading different profiles for different times of day in BOS.

I disabled any performance hungry settings for my Nvidia driver to at least gain some few more FPS for BoS. The pictures I posted show only SweetFX SMAA + FXAA

Usefull reading Here for anyone interresting in Sweetfx tweeking (all shaders explained)

Sweet fx Smaa work fines without ingame AA and without Lumasharpen+turn your videoCard FXAA on

 

In my Sign a sweetfx profil from July. I have to update it with what have just said, ( desactive Lumarsharpen and correct SMAA settings from the Url above.

 

Sweetfx is an awesome tool. Using it for Cod and DCS to get best photorealistic colours, and less less brightness in BOS.

 

your settings looks very great, well done

 

maybe a bit greyish try to decrease gamma value to increase a bit the white  in tonemap,  without increasing exposure ( you can put a negativ value here)

Stuka can you give me some trick to do that? I want to have the best performance possible using sweetfx.

As for Nvidia driver settings be sure to disable anything which costs performance like extra AA and be sure to set it to single screen mode. I'm no expert so I can't tell for sure which options to adjust there, as for me Texture filtering and Anisotophy however don't effect FPS which is why I left it enabled.

 

SweetFX has some FPS killers in it as well. If you get significant FPS drops after enabling it be sure to disable HDR (looks nice but kills most FPS). Curve can also have slight FPS impact, the rest should be fine (I get max 1-2 FPS drop with bloom, tonemap, vibrance and curve enabled).

How to use Janson preset for FlightFx with SweetFx 1.3 in JSGME mod enabler?

[avlSteve]

I followed the install instructions in the readme as close as possible, but there are no files in SweetFX named "shader.fx" or dxgi.fx".

 

I wasn't seeing any difference so I enabled monochrome with splitscreen.  As soon as I click start on a quick mission, I see the right half of the screen lose color... during the load screens I can toggle SweetFX with scroll lock, and it's obviously working.

 

When it finishes loading and I'm in the cockpit, boom!  No difference, not working.  Any clues what that could be?

I finally got it.  Using version 1.5, re-copied the files, edited SweetFX_preset to uncomment the line "#include "SweetFX\Presets\Default_1.5_settings.txt" and commented out the other one.  It's working!!

 

I put 4 or 5 hours into this SweetFX endeavor in all (spanning maybe 6 weeks), so needless to say, I'm giddy.

Hi 'Kameraden'!

 

I personally think, that u all kinda forget, that all is also pretty much a question of personal taste, feel and other physical circumstances like additonal lightsoucres etc, etc., SEE! YOU DONT SEE WHAT I SEE! ...but I agree it works fine!

Guys, I have some problem with FlightFX:

 

 

After I click OK everything works fine...

[DD_Arthur]

@Ami; are you using the latest Nvidia drivers?

[ST_ami7b5]

Yes, 344.75

 

Edit:

But recently I reinstalled WoFF which uses D9 IIRC...

Try to deinstall GeForce Expirience. That issue came up earlier and could be solved that way.

Thanks Stuka, but I think I'll keep it, 'cause my grandson launches all of his 'optimised' Battlefields & Co from there, LOL.

It's just a bit annoying, but it works OK after closing that message...

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Is there a BoS profile in GeForce expirience that interferrs with SweetFX? Personally I just deinstalled it since I didn't really bother using it for anything than hard drive wasting.

 

There might be a more viable solution for your issue.

[ST_ami7b5]

There's no BoS profile there yet, but there is for War Thunder, LOL.

Yep the one above works fine.  Below is the settings I used.  Forgot to include them...

The file with your settings isn't available any more.

Has anyone been able to get FlightFX to work with IL-2 BOS v1.201. It stopped working for me.

I wasn't able to get FlightFX to work. I finally got reshade to work, I had to use the newer version found here > http://www.mediafire.com/?hd25q2558um47el < Version 2.0.3f1.

 

I tried the other version with the previous Reshade and I kept getting corruption my screen would go a weird colour. Using the reshade assistant is more finicky but gives you more control. 

 

Only issue I'm having with it is the game crashes if I press print screen which I believe is for taking a  screenshot, I'll have to try and bind another key.

 

I like the fact that you can use FXAA in Reshade so no need to use Radeon settings for AA and PlaysTV records with Reshade/SweetFX something FlightFX didn't do
