Anti-Aliasing in BOS?

[dburne]

Hey gang,

 

This may be a dumb question on my part:

Currently there is no Anti Aliasing setting in the BOS graphics GUI.

 

I do not as of yet have a Nvidia profile made up for BOS, so my graphics driver is only loading the " global settings".

And in the global settings, AA is set for use the application's setting.

 

Apparently we are getting some form of anti-aliasing correct? I mean it would sure appear to be from the image quality.

So what are we getting and from where?

In the Bos data folder is startup.cfg and there is multisampling option. It is set to 2 by default. There is some AA used in game for sure

No antialiasing but anisotropic. Setup x8, looks pretty well: http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad52/rafikst/IL-2%20Battle%20of%20Stalingrad/2013_11_25__20_50_44_zps6d07844c.jpg~original . In driver of GPU I have default (like in RoF) - all aplications controlled. In the future will be supersamplng (now You can change it in config ini but it costs framerates. Maybe AA will be too?

Anisotropic filtering has nothing to do with anti-aliasing. There is some sort of a "hidden" anti-aliasing in game. Curious what kind it is.. (could be some kind of post-process anti-aliasing? SMAA?). And why the anti-aliasing settings option was removed (like we have in RoF).

The ROF antialiasing is very heavy on perf when set to X8, maybe that's why it's still not implemented in BOS?

 

But even without yet, BOS looks nicer than CloD on my rig, on that particular point.

S!

 

 I do not use any kind of antialiasin on BoS. It looks nice even without it

I also wondered about that, would be nice to hear an explanation from dev team. Now there is clearly not enough AA, and forcing it in drivers is not an option. Because it is not optimal, doesn't give good results, distorts fonts and other UI elements.

Yeah it looks really good on my system, it sure would seem there is some form of anti aliasing in there coming from somewhere.

As far as i know it can only be forced on with the nVidia control panel. Works well, looks super.

I tried forcing it via the nvidia panel. Didn't notice much difference, but I have to admit BOS looked very good "out of the box" before trying to tweak things.

Im very satisfied so far, considering the alpha stage, when I am still struggling to find my ideal settings for other games (you-know-what-sim)

Forcing it through the NVIDIA panel doesn't work for me at all.

 

But i can live with the current ingame setting.

I use it in NVIDIA 331.93 and I use the IL2 Bos Exe icon for forcing it.

I also force through the nvidia control panel.

There's some jaggies for sure, but it's nowhere near as bad as CoD. I'm sure they will add something down the road once the game is optimized perhaps? Playing on 3 screens it's more noticable.

[Heywooood]

I have AA forced on in the Nvidia control panel also - works great - same settings as ROF

[Rjel]

Through the Nvidia control panel I use these settings. Jaggies are minimal.
