HI!

I'm trying to use this mod.  Kneepad and changing picture work fine.

I can open the menu but it is mostly empty.  (Green text lines wihtout functions, options, menus, keys....)

Cockpit looks bad.

As I'm using opencomposite I simply intalled openxr version with jsgme.

Logs inlcuded.

*** LoadLibrary of original_nvapi64.dll failed. ***
Trying to load C:\Windows\system32\nvapi64.dll
*** LoadLibrary of C:\Windows\system32\nvapi64.dll failed. ***

 

I have an AMD GPU, it wont find any nvapi outside mod folder.

I am also having a problem viewing the menu. It appears distorted and unreadable as shown in other's screen shots within the post. I am also using an AMD GPU. Not sure what a track is or I'd send it.

Sorry, I did not see your message. Did you save your  settings by LALT+F12 ?

This! 

 

The mod in its current form, while excellent, has so many options and different menus that I (a modder myselfl) don't even know where to begin. By default, I would think cockpit sharpening, the new banding fix, and generic color enhancements could be included. Would someone with a reverb g2 mind sharing their preset? I'm really just looking for a baseline to tweak from there for inclusion in my mod pack. If I recall, this mod used to have many stock options enabled by default (I distinctly remember color enhancements and cockpit sharpening for example).

Is there any update on this one? Still looking for a baseline. 
 

But nice mod nonetheless! Great work!??

Don't need it anymore...just use open composite and openxr toolkit.

That’s what I thought but the newest version of VREM containing an „OpenXR flavor version“ confused me a little bit. Is there still a use for VREM when using Open Composite and OpenXR Toolkit? That „flavor version“ seems to hint in that direction.

Up to you, but I don't use this anymore as openxr toolkit is much easier to use.

Hello again.

More screenshots.

One shows the only page that actually has something, pressing shift+Home or Del doesnt looks to do anything.  The other pages are all "config setting...." lines.

The photo (aircraft data or women) is the only part of the cockpit that is normal.

Another screenshot shows the only moment when I can see the cockpit fine, when I press LeftAlt+F12 to save config.  For a brief moment it looks normal.

Hello,

Can you post your d3dx_user.ini file that should be in the same directory than IL-2.exe (IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\bin\game) and your settings ?

It depend which feature you are using. If you want to change color or sharpen globally that's sure.

But if you want different settings for cockpit/outside,  capacity to display your own picture while in cockpit, change label color, have FXXAA done for outside but keep a sharp view in cockpit, fix sun halo, have some small improvement in spotting when using FXAA,... you want have it with openXR.

You setup negative saturation for cockpit color...Can you try to replace your settings with mine ?

I hope is startup.cfg.

Everything lowish.

I've tested it with openxr toolkit(75% FSR) and without(75% resolution in windows OpenXR tool for WMR)

startup - copia.txt

[KatakraK]

Your file fixed the Cockpit color.

Menus still look quite empty:  I don't thing I can change them in game.

Thanks for the clarification. Which brings me back to my question:

Use the d3dx_user.ini I provided if you want. This is mine, I setup sharpening, FXAA enhancement and fix for small issues like halo. I use it with FXAA 4x. I did not set any color change. But all these things are more a matter of taste...

Thank you! Great stuff!!

 

I used your .ini but I still have the same issue I had before: there are some strange colors in the cockpit, especially on the edges of surfaces. Do you have any idea of how to get rid of these artifacts?

 

 

 

There's a screenshot from outside where you can see more artifacts on the ground:

 

 

Also, one last question: is the sun supposed to look like that in the mod? The screenshot doesn't really show but in VR the sun seems to be of a greyish color when looking directly towards it:

I have the same config like you and can not reproduce the problem, especially for blue dots...can you post tracks for the two issues  ?

Are you using the settings you posted (+FXAA x4) and the d3dx_user.ini without any option changed ?

Yes, I am using your settings from the .ini and x4 FSAA. The issue best can be seen when looking around in the cockpit, then outside and back around in the cockpit again. Also, the pilot is full of these artifacts which can be seen when ejecting.

Sorry, I reinstalled everything from scratch, I reproduced the black cockpit (linked to sharpen off) but not your issues. Can you please uninstall the mod and install it from scratch (ensure no files remains from it)? Can you also try in 2D ? Just toggle Sharpen on to ensure you won't have the black cockpit (I'll solve it).

I got the psychedelic colors on the landscaping and in the cracks in the insturment panel a while back.  I turned of HDR and they went away.

Good to know. I'll have a look, but in the meantime I updated first post with the 5.6 to remove the black cockpit when sharpen is off.

Yup, that did the trick! Thank you!

 

But I'd still love to have HDR turned on and use the mod at the same time. Maybe there's a chance for an update?

 

Anyways, thanks guys for your help!

It should not change the issue, same shaders are used. There are few options dedicated to VR, as choice of eye for the sight...

[C6_lefuneste]

I discovered I made a mismatch with 6.6, so I updated the first post with the 6.6.1 that should work when sharpen is off now.

I reproduced the issue with HDR but still did not solve it.

As it is linked with sharpen, for the moment either :

• use sharpen of the mod but no HDR
• do not use sharpen of the mod but use HDR

The 6.6.1 should allow the 2d option. You can also set sharpen in game and activate the sharpen in mod, in this context sharpen will be  keep in the cockpit only, it should work with HDR.

[Blitzen]

This is a very old observation about this mod , but the first timer I’ve aired it : I used it a ways back and really liked all it’s improvements to the default game , but stopped using it when I found that I could no longer get aiming help with bombs and rockets with it working through JSGME ( I know if I was a ‘Real” sim pilot I wouldn’t need such help…) Was/is there something I missed or a setting that needed to be adjusted? I love to. Go back to using it esp.with night missions that could be made not quite so dark and maps that could be made darker.

Thanks for all your initial work and its improvements.

Maybe it's linked to icon beeing hided by airframe. As this is an option you can disable by the menu, it should not bother you anymore.

The new version solves the issue for me, thank you!

I ran into a problem with 6.6 and then 6.6.1.  The controls on the Sharpen page wouldn't not function.  All the controls on the other pages worked.  I switched back to 6.5 and all the controls work again.

Really a shame that one can only use this with SP, especially the AA enhancement.

AA makes the game look significantly better, but it makes spotting basically impossible, especially against the ground.

 

Would it be possible to create a version which only features the AA Enhancement?

And would it be possible to make it work with MP somehow?

 

Perhaps in the form of a PostFX AA method like SMAA?

Edited May 8, 2023 by So_ein_Feuerball

[C6_lefuneste]

Version 6.7 : compatibility with 5.104 available in first post.

Enhancement for FXAA were not working with the last version.

FYI, this doesn't seem to work well with Virtual Desktop's openXR implementation VXDR.

I can get the kneeboard to work, but that's about it. Biggest issue I guess is that I can't get the menu to come up so I can't change anything.
